Phase center variations of the receiver and transmitter antenna constitute a remaining uncertainty in the high precision orbit determination (POD) of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites using GPS measurements. Triggered by the adoption of absolute phase patterns in the IGS processing standards, a calibration of the Sensor Systems S67-1575-14 antenna with GFZ choke ring has been conducted that serves as POD antenna on various geodetic satellites such as CHAMP, GRACE and TerraSAR-X. Nominal phase patterns have been obtained with a robotic measurement system in a field campaign and the results were used to assess the impact of receiver antenna phase patterns on the achievable positioning accuracy. Along with this, phase center distortions in the actual spacecraft environment were characterized based on POD carrier phase residuals for the GRACE and TerraSAR-X missions. It is shown that the combined ground and in-flight calibration can improve the carrier phase modeling accuracy to a level of 4 mm which is close to the pure receiver noise. A 3.5 cm (3D rms) consistency of kinematic and reduced dynamic orbit determination solutions is achieved for TerraSAR-X, which presumably reflects the limitations of presently available GPS ephemeris products. The reduced dynamic solutions themselves match the observations of high grade satellite laser ranging stations to 1.5 cm but are potentially affected by cross-track biases at the cm-level. With respect to the GPS based relative navigation of TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X formation, the in-flight calibration of the antenna phase patterns is considered essential for an accurate modeling of differential carrier phase measurements and a mm level baseline reconstruction.

建立了包括三千多个已测定的二元、三元熔盐系相图的熔盐相图智能数据库。在建库过程中 ,运用原子参数 -模式识别方法总结已知相图几何特征与其组分元素的原子参数 (离子半径和电负性 )关系的半经验规律 ,并将其用于未知相图几何特征的预报。还将若干不符合上述规律的已测相图列为可疑对象 ,对其重新作实验测定。通过这一做法 ,纠正了前人报道的忽略了某些中间化合物的相图 ,证明这些相图存在CsCaBr3 ,Cs2 CaF4等中间化合物。另一方面 ,还通过实验否定了前人声称发现的KNO3 -KI等相图的中间化合物。这说明 :原子参数 -模式识别算法和实验验证相结合 ,是一种对有疑问的相图评估的有效方法。熔盐相图智能数据库还具有根据原子参数 -模式识别方法对部分未知相图的若干特征的预报功能。初步研究结果表明 :这类智能数据库的研究方法对水 -盐系等相图研究也有应用价值。  相似文献
