Abstract: | Precise GPS positioning requires the processing of carrier-phase observations and fixing integer ambiguities. With increasing
distance between receivers, ambiguity fixing becomes more difficult because ionospheric and tropospheric effects do not cancel
sufficiently in double differencing. A popular procedure in static positioning is to increase the length of the observing
session and/or to apply atmospheric (ionospheric) models and corrections. We investigate the methodology for GPS rapid static
positioning that requires just a few minutes of dual-frequency GPS observations for medium-length baselines. Ionospheric corrections
are not required, but the ionospheric delays are treated as pseudo-observations having a priori values and respective weights.
The tropospheric delays are reduced by using well-established troposphere models, and satellite orbital and clock errors are
eliminated by using IGS rapid products. Several numerical tests based on actual GPS data are presented. It is shown that the
proposed methodology is suitable for rapid static positioning within 50–70 km from the closest reference network station and
that centimeter-level precision in positioning is feasible when using just 1 min of dual-frequency GPS data. |
