The development of the COMPASS satellite system is introduced, and the regional tracking network and data availability are described. The precise orbit determination strategy of COMPASS satellites is presented. Data of June 2012 are processed. The obtained orbits are evaluated by analysis of post-fit residuals, orbit overlap comparison and SLR (satellite laser ranging) validation. The RMS (root mean square) values of post-fit residuals for one month’s data are smaller than 2.0 cm for ionosphere-free phase measurements and 2.6 m for ionosphere-free code observations. The 48-h orbit overlap comparison shows that the RMS values of differences in the radial component are much smaller than 10 cm and those of the cross-track component are smaller than 20 cm. The SLR validation shows that the overall RMS of observed minus computed residuals is 68.5 cm for G01 and 10.8 cm for I03. The static and kinematic PPP solutions are produced to further evaluate the accuracy of COMPASS orbit and clock products. The static daily COMPASS PPP solutions achieve an accuracy of better than 1 cm in horizontal and 3 cm in vertical. The accuracy of the COMPASS kinematic PPP solutions is within 1–2 cm in the horizontal and 4–7 cm in the vertical. In addition, we find that the COMPASS kinematic solutions are generally better than the GPS ones for the selected location. Furthermore, the COMPASS/GPS combinations significantly improve the accuracy of GPS only PPP solutions. The RMS values are basically smaller than 1 cm in the horizontal components and 3–4 cm in the vertical component. 相似文献

Wavelet packets based denoising method for measurement domain repeat-time multipath filtering in GPS static high-precision positioning 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Lawrence Lau 《GPS Solutions》2017,21(2):461-474
Repeatable satellite orbits can be used for multipath mitigation in GPS-based deformation monitoring and other high-precision GPS applications that involve continuous observation with static antennas. Multipath signals at a static station repeat when the GPS constellation repeats given the same site environment. Repeat-time multipath filtering techniques need noise reduction methods to remove the white noise in carrier phase measurement residuals in order to retrieve the carrier phase multipath corrections for the next day. We propose a generic and robust three-level wavelet packets based denoising method for repeat-time-based carrier phase multipath filtering in relative positioning; the method does not need tuning to work with different data sets. The proposed denoising method is tested rigorously and compared with two other denoising methods. Three rooftop data sets collected at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and two data sets collected at three Southern California Integrated GPS Network high-rate stations are used in the performance assessment. Test results of the wavelet packets denoising method are compared with the results of the resistor–capacitor (RC) low-pass filter and the single-level discrete wavelet transform (DWT) denoising method. Multipath mitigation efficiency in carrier phase measurement domain is shown by spectrum analysis of two selected satellites in two data sets. The positioning performance of the repeat-time-based multipath filtering techniques is assessed. The results show that the performance of the three noise reduction techniques is about 1–46 % improvement on positioning accuracy when compared with no multipath filtering. The statistical results show that the wavelet packets based denoising method is always better than the RC filter by 2–4 %, and better than the DWT method by 6–15 %. These results suggest that the proposed wavelet packets based denoising method is better than both the DWT method and the relatively simple RC low-pass filter for noise reduction in multipath filtering. However, the wavelet packets based denoising method is not significantly better than the RC filter. 相似文献

We investigate the ability of GPS to detect volcanic plumes at Mt. Etna, Italy. We use a robust statistical approach to highlight whether the presence of a volcanic plume in the atmosphere may really affect the GPS undifferenced post-fit phase residuals. The proposed method has been tested for the September 4–5, 2007 activity of Mt. Etna. This eruption produced powerful lava fountains forming a weak, a few kilometers high plume for several hours, representing typical activity at Etna over the last 5 years. We analyzed data from nineteen Etna permanent GPS stations located on the volcano flanks at different heights and applied a statistical test based on four main steps: (a) realization of a simplified model representing the volcanic plume in atmosphere; (b) evaluation of the GPS satellite and station couples intersecting the plume; (c) calculation of the volcanic plume region crossed by the GPS signal; (d) application of a robust statistical test in order to see whether the volcanic plume affected the GPS signals. Results show that during the September 4–5, 2007 explosive activity, the GPS residuals definitely include the contribution of the volcanic plume. Our analysis shows that values of the GPS residuals are ten times smaller than those found for the Miyakejima eruption (Japan), highlighting a likely relationship between residuals and eruption intensity. In the future, data derived from the GPS stations located on Etna’s flanks could be used to improve the alerting system of volcanic ash, already operating at the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Osservatorio Etneo. 相似文献

This article describes a methodology to monitor dynamic vertical sub-centimeter displacement, of a GPS antenna. The dynamic
movement of an antenna is determined by choosing the appropriate reference satellite for measurement differencing and by applying
a FFT filter on the double-difference phase residuals. The validity of the method depends on the time variations of the GPS
residuals and errors, such as, receiver noise, atmospheric contribution, multipath effects, and the antenna movement. This
research is under development and results for simulated motion are presented here. ? 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Multipath error is considered one of the major errors affecting GPS observations. One can benefit from the repetition of satellite
geometry approximately every sidereal day, and apply filtering to help minimize this error. For GPS data at 1 s interval processed
using a double-difference strategy, using the day-to-day coordinate or carrier-phase residual autocorrelation determined with
a 10-h window leads to the steadiest estimates of the error-repeat lag, although a window as short as 2 h can produce an acceptable
value with > 97% of the optimal lag’s correlation. We conclude that although the lag may vary with time, such variation is
marginal and there is little advantage in using a satellite-specific or other time-varying lag in double-difference processing.
We filter the GPS data either by stacking a number of days of processed coordinate residuals using the optimum “sidereal”
lag (23 h 55 m 54 s), and removing these stacked residuals from the day in question (coordinate space), or by a similar method
using double-difference carrier-phase residuals (observational space). Either method results in more consistent and homogeneous
set of coordinates throughout the dataset compared with unfiltered processing. Coordinate stacking reduces geometry-related
repeating errors (mainly multipath) better than carrier-phase residual stacking, although the latter takes less processing
time to achieve final filtered coordinates. Thus, the optimal stacking method will depend on whether coordinate precision
or computational time is the over-riding criterion. 相似文献

Sidereal filtering based on single differences for mitigating GPS multipath effects on short baselines 总被引：5，自引：2，他引：3

Carrier-phase multipath effects are one of the most significant error sources in precise Global Positioning System (GPS) positioning
applications. A new sidereal filtering algorithm based on single differences is developed to mitigate multipath effects for
short-baseline high-rate GPS applications such as structural deformation monitoring. This method differs from traditional
sidereal filtering in that our method operates on the single differences rather than the coordinates or double differences.
A multipath model for the single differences on the reference day is established for each satellite and is used to remove
multipath errors from observations of subsequent days by taking advantage of the sidereal repeatability of multipath signals.
Using both simulated and real GPS observations, we demonstrate that this method is insensitive to different weighting strategies
used in computing single differences from double differences. Applying the proposed method can reduce the root mean square
(RMS) of positioning noises by 82% on average. Compared to sidereal filtering (in either coordinate or double differences
domain) and aspect repeat time adjustment, this method can further reduce the RMS values by 13 and 7%, respectively. Wavelet
spectra have shown that the proposed method is more effective in mitigating multipath errors of both long and short periods.
This method is also more advantageous in that it is applicable when different GPS satellites are observed on different days. 相似文献

Finding the repeat times of the GPS constellation 总被引：5，自引：6，他引：5
Single-epoch estimates of position using GPS are improved by removing multipath signals, which repeat when the GPS constellation does. We present two programs for finding this repeat time, one using the orbital period and the other the topocentric positions of the satellites. Both methods show that the repeat time is variable across the constellation, at the few-second level for most satellites, but with a few showing much different values. The repeat time for topocentric positions, which we term the aspect repeat time, averages 247 s less than a day, with fluctuations through the day that may be as much as 2.5 s at high latitudes. 相似文献

We present the joint estimation model for Global Positioning System/BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (GPS/BDS) real-time clocks and present the initial satellite clock solutions determined from 106 stations of the international GNSS service multi-GNSS experiment and the BeiDou experimental tracking stations networks for 1 month in December, 2012. The model is shown to be efficient enough to have no practical computational limit for producing 1-Hz clock updates for real-time applications. The estimated clocks were assessed through the comparison with final clock products and the analysis of post-fit residuals. Using the estimated clocks and corresponding orbit products (GPS ultra-rapid-predicted and BDS final orbits), the root-mean-square (RMS) values of coordinate differences from ground truth values are around 1 and 2–3 cm for GPS-only and BDS-only daily mean static precise point positioning (PPP) solutions, respectively. Accuracy of GPS/BDS combined static PPP solutions falls in between that of GPS-only and BDS-only PPP results, with RMS values approximately 1–2 cm in all three components. For static sites, processed in the kinematic PPP mode, the daily RMS values are normally within 4 and 6 cm after convergence for GPS-only and BDS-only results, respectively. In contrast, the combined GPS/BDS kinematic PPP solutions show higher accuracy and shorter convergence time. Additionally, the BDS-only kinematic PPP solutions using clock products derived from the proposed joint estimation model were superior compared to those computed using the single-system estimation model. 相似文献

A multi-technique approach for characterizing the SVN49 signal anomaly, part 2: chip shape analysis 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

Due to a satellite internal reflection at the L5 test payload, the SVN49 (PRN1) GPS satellite exhibits a static multipath
on the L1 and L2 signals, which results in elevation-dependent tracking errors for terrestrial receivers. Using a 30-m high-gain
antenna, code and carrier phase measurements as well as raw in-phase and quadrature radio frequency samples have been collected
during a series of zenith passes in mid-April 2010 to characterize the SVN49 multipath and its impact on common users. Following
an analysis of the receiver tracking data and the IQ constellation provided in Part 1 of this study, the present Part 2 provides
an in-depth investigation into chip shapes for the L1 and L2 signals. A single reflection model is found to be compatible
with the observed chip shape distortions and key parameters for an elevation dependent multipath model are derived. A good
agreement is found between multipath parameters derived independently from raw IQ-samples and measurements of a so-called
Vision Correlator. The chip shapes and their observed variation with elevation can be used to predict the multipath response
of different correlator types within a tracking receiver. The multipath model itself is suitable for implementation in a signal
simulator and thus enables laboratory testing of actual receiver hardware. 相似文献

Anomalous harmonics in the spectra of GPS position estimates 总被引：22，自引：3，他引：19
Prior studies of the power spectra of GPS position time series have found pervasive seasonal signals against a power-law background
of flicker noise plus white noise. Dong et al. (2002) estimated that less than half the observed GPS seasonal power can be explained by redistributions of geophysical fluid mass
loads. Much of the residual variation is probably caused by unidentified GPS technique errors and analysis artifacts. Among
possible mechanisms, Penna and Stewart (2003) have shown how unmodeled analysis errors at tidal frequencies (near 12- and 24-hour periods) can be aliased to longer periods
very efficiently. Signals near fortnightly, semiannual, and annual periods are expected to be most seriously affected. We
have examined spectra for the 167 sites of the International GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) Service (IGS) network
having more than 200 weekly measurements during 1996.0–2006.0. The non-linear residuals of the weekly IGS solutions that were
included in ITRF2005, the latest version of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), have been used. To improve
the detection of common-mode signals, the normalized spectra of all sites have been stacked, then boxcar smoothed for each
local north (N), east (E), and height (H) component. The stacked, smoothed spectra are very similar for all three components.
Peaks are evident at harmonics of about 1 cycle per year (cpy) up to at least 6 cpy, but the peaks are not all at strictly
1.0 cpy intervals. Based on the 6th harmonic of the N spectrum, which is among the sharpest and largest, and assuming a linear
overtone model, then a common fundamental of 1.040 ± 0.008 cpy can explain all peaks well, together with the expected annual
and semiannual signals. A flicker noise power-law continuum describes the background spectrum down to periods of a few months,
after which the residuals become whiter. Similar sub-seasonal tones are not apparent in the residuals of available satellite
laser ranging (SLR) and very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) sites, which are both an order of magnitude less numerous
and dominated by white noise. There is weak evidence for a few isolated peaks near 1 cpy harmonics in the spectra of geophysical
loadings, but these are much noisier than for GPS positions. Alternative explanations related to the GPS technique are suggested
by the close coincidence of the period of the 1.040 cpy frequency, about 351.2 days, to the “GPS year”; i.e., the interval
required for the constellation to repeat its inertial orientation with respect to the sun. This could indicate that the harmonics
are a type of systematic error related to the satellite orbits. Mechanisms could involve orbit modeling defects or aliasing
of site-dependent positioning biases modulated by the varying satellite geometry. 相似文献

Summary The signals transmitted by Block II satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) can be degraded to limit the highest accuracy of the system (10 m or better point positioning) to authorized users. This mode of degraded operation is called Selective Availability (S/A). S/A involves the degradation in the quality of broadcast orbits and satellite clock dithering. We monitored the dithered satellite oscillator and investigated the effect of this clock dithering on high accuracy relative positioning. The effect was studied over short 3-meter and zero-baselines with two GPS receivers. The equivalent S/A effects for baselines ranging from 0 to >10,000 km can be examined with short test baselines if the receiver clocks are deliberately mis-synchronized by a known and varying amount. Our results show that the maximum effect of satellite clock dithering on GPS double difference phase residuals grows as a function of the clock synchronization error according to: S/A
effect
=0.04 cm/msec, and it increases as a function of baseline length like: S/A
effect
=0.014 cm/100 km. These are equations for maximum observed values of post-fit residuals due to S/A. The effect on GPS baselines is likely to be smaller than the 0.14 mm for a baseline separation of 100 km. We therefore conclude, for our limited data set, and for the level of S/A during our tests, that S/A clock dithering has negligible effect on all terrestrial GPS baselines if double difference processing techniques are employed and if the GPS receivers remain synchronized to better than 10 msec. S/A may constitute a problem, however, if accurate point processing is required, or if GPS receivers are not synchronized. We suggest and test two different methods to monitor satellite frequency offsets due to S/A. S/A modulates GPS carrier frequencies in the range of-2 Hz to +2 Hz over time periods of several minutes. The methods used in this paper to measure the satellite clock dither could be applied by the civilian GPS community to continuously monitor S/A clock dithering. The monitored frequencies may aid high accuracy point positioning applications in a postprocessing mode (Malys and Ortiz 1989), and differential GPS with poorly synchronized receivers (Feigl et al. 1991). 相似文献

A method is presented for real-time validation of GNSS measurements of a single receiver, where data from each satellite are independently processed. A geometry-free observation model is used with a reparameterized form of the unknowns to overcome rank deficiency of the model. The ionosphere error and non-constant biases such as multipath are assumed changing relatively smoothly as a function of time. Data validation and detection of errors are based on statistical testing of the observation residuals using the detection–identification–adaptation approach. The method is applicable to any GNSS with any number of frequencies. The performance of validation method was evaluated using multi-frequency data from three GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) that span 3 days in a test site at Curtin University, Australia. Performance of the method in detection and identification of outliers in code observations, and detection of cycle slips in phase data were examined. Results show that the success rate vary according to precision of observations and their number as well as size of the errors. The method capability is demonstrated when processing four IOV Galileo satellites in a single-point-positioning mode and in another test by comparing its performance with Bernese software in detection of cycle slips in precise point-positioning processing using GPS data. 相似文献

An analysis of observations from China’s first medium earth orbit satellite Compass M-1 is presented, with main focus on the
first orbit and clock solution for this satellite. The orbit is computed from laser ranging measurements. Based on this orbit
solution, the apparent clock offset is estimated using measurements from two GNSS receivers, which allow Compass tracking.
The analysis of the clock solutions reveals unexpectedly high dynamics in the pseudorange and carrier-phase observations.
Furthermore, carrier-to-noise density ratio, pseudorange noise, and multipath are analyzed and compared to GPS and GIOVE.
The results of the clock analysis motivate further research on the signals of the geostationary satellites of the Compass
constellation. 相似文献

Continuous global positioning system (GPS) stations propagate biases and spurious signals into the derived parameter time series when the measurements are subject to site-specific effects, such as multipath. This is a particular problem in the investigation of geophysical and atmospheric phenomena where signals may be small in magnitude. A methodology to remove these erroneous signals from long-term time series will significantly increase the usefulness of the derived time series. This work provides the theoretical basis for use of an empirical site model (ESM) derived from post-fit phase residuals to mitigate unmodelled site-specific errors. Additionally, we also investigate the effectiveness of applying an ESM to a regional GPS network and a short baseline solution. Under most observing scenarios, we show that the ESM approach is predicted to improve the precision and accuracy of the site coordinates. However, it is important to note that we found some scenarios where the ESM can introduce a bias. For instance, when the antenna is mounted close to the ground. In this scenario, for a short baseline, we observed the introduction of a 4-mm bias in height. Use of an ESM for the same short baseline with an uncalibrated radome substantially improves the results by removing a large bias of over 10 mm in height. Similarly, application of an ESM derived from historic data yields similar improvements. This demonstrates that the ESM can be a powerful tool when applied to appropriate site-specific configurations and could potentially be implemented in routine GPS analysis for a broad range of applications. 相似文献

This paper investigates the impact of rapid small-scale water vapor fluctuations on GPS height determination. Water vapor
measurements from a Raman lidar are used for documenting the water vapor heterogeneities and correcting GPS signal propagation
delays in clear sky conditions. We use data from four short observing sessions (6 h) during the VAPIC experiment (15 May–15
June 2004). The retrieval of wet delays from our Raman lidar is shown to agree well with radiosonde retrievals (bias and standard
deviation (SD) were smaller than 1 and 2.8 mm, respectively) and microwave radiometers (from two different instruments, bias
was 6.0/−6.6 mm and SD 1.3/3.8 mm). A standard GPS data analysis is shown to fail in accurately reproducing fast zenith wet
delay (ZWD) variations. The ZWD estimates could be improved when mean post-fit phase residuals were removed. Several methodologies
for integrating zenith lidar observations into the GPS data processing are also presented. The final method consists in using
lidar wet delays for correcting a priori the GPS phase observations and estimating a scale factor for the lidar wet delays
jointly with the GPS station position. The estimation of this scale factor allows correcting for a mis-calibration in the
lidar data and provides in the same way an estimate of the Raman lidar instrument constant. The agreement of this constant
with an independent determination using radiosonde data is at the level of 1–4%. The lidar wet delays were derived by ray-tracing
from zenith pointing measurements: further improvement in GPS positioning is expected from slant path lidar measurements that
would properly account for water vapor anisotropy. 相似文献

系统分析了改进随机模型和改进函数模型两类GPS基线解算模型的优缺点,在此基础上,提出了一种基于序列平均的高精度GPS基线解算模型,即采用动态单历元技术进行静态基线解算,充分利用多路径效应的低频特性,采用小波变化理论,对坐标序列进行多路径效应的去除,提取低频残差项进行序列平均,得到基线向量解。同时,以动态坐标序列为依据,对出现粗差历元或者卫星进行处理,有效弥补了仅采用残差序列进行粗差判断的不足,提高了基线解算的精度和可靠性。实验表明,新模型可以更为有效地削弱多路径效应的影响,而且对于较短的观测时间尤为突出;结合坐标序列和残差序列,能更为有效地进行粗差的探测和去除,提高基线解的精度和可靠性。 相似文献
