Absolute calibration of GPS antennas: laboratory results and comparison with field and robot techniques 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:5
A critical assessment of the accuracy of GPS antenna calibration is most effectively done by comparison between different calibration methods. We present new chamber calibrations of five different GPS receiver antenna types in an anechoic chamber and a comparison of an individual antenna calibrated by the absolute field calibration technique with robot mount of IfE/GEO++. The accuracy is described using standard error parameters which allow the characterization of the quality of different antennas. The results validate the absolute calibration methods at the 1-mm level and confirm the presence of significant variations in quality between antennas of different design. For the antenna pattern we directly use the measured phase variations and do not have to fit any functions for the chamber calibrations. We include the results of an earlier test made with a set of identical antennas calibrated at five different institutions: two using the absolute field technique with robot mount and three others applying the standard field calibration with reference antenna. 相似文献

The International Atomic Time scale (TAI) is computed by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) from a set of
atomic clocks distributed in about 40 time laboratories around the world. The time transfer between these remote clocks is
mostly performed by the so-called GPS common view method: The clocks are connected to a GPS time receiver whose internal software
computes the offsets between the remote clocks and GPS time. These data are collected in a standard formal called CCTF. In
the present study we develop both the procedure and the software tool that allows us to generate the CCTF files needed for
time transfer to TAI, using RINEX files produced by geodetic receivers driven by an external frequency. The CCTF files are
then generated from the RINEX observation files. The software is freely available at ftp://omaftp.oma.be/dist/astro/time/RINEX_CCTF.
Applied to IGS (International GPS Service) receivers, this procedure will provide a direct link between TAI and the IGS clock
combination. We demonstrate here the procedure using the RINEX files from the Ashtech Metronome (ZXII-T) GPS receiver, to
which we apply the conventional analysis to compute the CCTF data. We compared these results with the CCTF files produced
by a time receiver R100-30T from 3S-Navigation. We also used this comparison with the results of a calibrated time receiver
to determine the hardware delay of the geodetic receiver. ? 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

To better understand how receiver antenna calibration models contribute to GPS positioning error budget, we compare station positions estimated with different calibration models: igs05.atx, igs08.atx and individual antenna calibrations. First, the impact of switching from the igs05.atx antenna calibration model to the igs08.atx antenna calibration model is investigated using the EUREF Permanent Network historical data set from 1996 until April 2011. It is confirmed that these position offsets can be effectively represented by the igs05.atx to igs08.atx latitude-dependent model. Then, we demonstrate that the position offsets resulting from the use of individual calibrations instead of type mean igs08.atx calibrations can reach up to 1 cm in the up component, while in the horizontal, the offsets generally stay below 4 mm. Finally, using six antennas individually calibrated by a robot as well as in an anechoic chamber, we observe a position agreement of 2 mm in the horizontal component and a bias of 5 mm in the up component. Larger position offsets, dependent on the antenna/radome type, are, however, found when these individual calibrations are compared to type mean calibrations of two tested antennas. 相似文献

This paper examines the potential of mobile phones to be used as front-end sensors for photogrammetric procedures and applications. For this purpose, two mobile phone cameras (Sony Ericsson K750i and Nokia N93) were calibrated over an indoor 3D testfield, using a self-calibrating bundle adjustment. Geometric accuracy tests were carried out in order to evaluate their metric performances and to compare the results with respect to two off-the-shelf digital still video cameras (Sony DSC W100 and Sony DSC F828). The geometric accuracy evaluation comprised an absolute accuracy test, JPEG test and temporal stability test. The radiometric capabilities of all cameras (except that the DSC W100 was replaced with a DSC T100 camera) were also evaluated and compared by carrying out modulation transfer function (MTF) analysis, image noise analysis and an operating range test. Substantial systematic errors were diagnosed in some systems. However, with proper calibration it is believed that these devices can be used for many photogrammetric tasks. 相似文献

We quantify the performance of three commonly used techniques to calibrate ground-based microwave radiometers for soil moisture studies, external (EC), tipping-curve (TC), and internal (IC). We describe two ground-based C-band radiometer systems with similar design and the calibration experiments conducted in Florida and Alaska using these two systems. We compare the consistency of the calibration curves during the experiments among the three techniques and evaluate our calibration by comparing the measured brightness temperatures (TBs) to those estimated from a lake emission model (LEM). The mean absolute difference among the TBs calibrated using the three techniques over the observed range of output voltages during the experiments was 1.14 K. Even though IC produced the most consistent calibration curves, the differences among the three calibration techniques were not significant. The mean absolute errors (MAEs) between the observed and LEM TB s were about 2-4 K. As expected, the utility of TC at C-band was significantly reduced due to transparency of the atmosphere at these frequencies. Because IC was found to have a MAE of about 2 K that is suitable for soil moisture applications and was consistent during our experiments under different environmental conditions, it could augment less frequent calibrations obtained using the EC or TC techniques 相似文献

To understand the absolute radiometric calibration accuracy of the HJ-A CCD-1 sensors, image from these sensors were compared to nearly simultaneously image from Landsat-7 ETM+ sensors. Although the HJ-A CCD-1 sensor has almost the same wavelength of each central band and band width as Landsat-7 ETM+ sensor, there is slightly difference in spectral response function (SRF). The impacts of SRF difference effects would produce ~2 % uncertainty in predicting reflectance of HJ-A CCD-1 sensor using Landsat-7 ETM+ sensor. The reflectance observed by satellite at top-of-atmosphere generally depends on its’ geometric conditions. The results reveal that the impacts of geometrical conditions would impact on the vicarious cross-calibration accuracy, which should be removed. The performances of cross-calibration are calibrated and validated by four image pairs collected from Yellow River Delta, China, and Qingdao City, China, at four independent times. The results indicate that the HJ-A CCD-1 sensors can be cross calibrated to the Landsat-7 ETM+ sensors to within an accuracy of 3.99 % (denoted by Relative Root Mean Square Error) of each other in all bands except band 4, which has a 6.33 % difference. 相似文献

在精密定位中,GNSS接收机天线相位中心变化是必须进行改正的影响因素。目前成熟的微波暗室法和自动机器人法,对于一般用户而言,不具备相关实验条件,而野外相对法相对简单、易操作。为此,本文利用相对检测法,对GNSS接收机天线相位中心变化进行检测。实例表明,此方法可获得精度优于±3 mm的检测结果,因此可利用此方法对其他类型天线PCV值进行检测,也可借鉴此方法对北斗接收机天线相位中心变化进行检测。同时论文分析了影响检测精度,提出了有益改进建议。 相似文献

We have used GLONASS P-code measurements from different geodetic GPS/GLONASS receivers involved in the IGEX campaign to perform
frequency/time transfer between remote clocks. GLONASS time transfer is commonly based on the clock differences between GLONASS
system time and the local clock computed by a time transfer receiver. We choose to analyze the raw P-code data available in
the RINEX files. This also allows working with the data from geodetic receivers involved in the IGEX campaign. As a first
point, we show that the handling of the external frequency in some of the IGEX receivers is not suited for time transfer applications.
We also point out that the GLONASS broadcast ephemerides give rise to a considerable number of outliers in the time transfer,
compared to the precise IGEX ephemerides. Due to receiver clock resets at day boundaries, which is a characteristic of the
R100 receivers from 3S-Navigation, continuous data sets exceeding one day are not available. Invthis context, it is therefore
impossible to perform RINEX-based precise frequency transfer with GLONASS P-codes on a time scale longer than one day. Because
the frequencies used by GLONASS satellites are different, the time transfer results must be corrected for the different receiver
hardware delays. After this correction, the final precision of our time transfer results corresponds to a root-mean-square
(rms) of 1.8 nanoseconds (ns) (maximum difference of 11.8 ns) compared to a rms of about 4.4 ns (maximum difference of 31.9
ns) for time transfer based on GPS C/A code observations. ? 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Monitoring GOCE gradiometer calibration parameters using accelerometer and star sensor data: methodology and first results 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

The Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite, launched on 17 March 2009, is designed to measure the Earth’s mean gravity field with unprecedented accuracy at spatial resolutions down to 100?km. The accurate calibration of the gravity gradiometer on-board GOCE is of utmost importance for achieving the mission goals. ESA’s baseline method for the calibration uses star sensor and accelerometer data of a dedicated calibration procedure, which is executed every 2?months. In this paper, we describe a method for monitoring the evolution of calibration parameter during that time. The method works with star sensor and accelerometer data and does not require gravity field models, which distinguishes it from other existing methods. We present time series of calibration parameters estimated from GOCE data from 1 November 2009 to 17 May 2010. The time series confirm drifts in the calibration parameters that are present in the results of other methods, including ESA’s baseline method. Although these drifts are very small, they degrade the gravity gradients, leading to the conclusion that the calibration parameters of the ESA’s baseline method need to be linearly interpolated. Further, we find a correction of ?36 × 10?6 for one calibration parameter (in-line differential scale factor of the cross-track gradiometer arm), which improves the gravity gradient performance. The results are validated by investigating the trace of the calibrated gravity gradients and comparing calibrated gravity gradients with reference gradients computed along the GOCE orbit using the ITG-Grace-2010s gravity field model. 相似文献

光学传感器全过程定标,就是对传感器从研发到使命终结整个过程的检测与定标,它包括在传感器研制过程中在实验室利用人工源和室外自然源对其辐射特性进行检测和定标,也包括建立与传感器一起工作的星上定标系统装置,以便当卫星发射升空传感器开始正常工作后,定期地应用星上定标系统对传感器响应的变化进行相对或绝对的定标,全过程定标同时包括在轨运行期间采用基于陆地(或海面)特性的“替代定标”,或借助其他卫星进行的“交叉定标”,最终依据定标结果来确定传感器使命的终结。全过程定标是一个系统实验过程,提高传感器应用效益是其目的,提高定标精度是目标,标准及标准传递是贯穿全过程定标的主线,为此而发展的定标系统和方法是全过程定标的技术支撑,本文作者及其研究室的工作涉及上述全过程的内容,本文首次将全过程定标所涉及的内容系统地予以阐述。提高定标的精度不仅要从系统硬件构成上考虑,如高精度低温绝对辐射计、传递标准探测器、积分球、标准板等,更需要从方法和实验上解决问题,如标准传递过程误差源的分析与控制,大气空间中辐射传输衰减校正模型以及相关的实验等。 相似文献

Phase center modeling for LEO GPS receiver antennas and its impact on precise orbit determination 总被引:12,自引:5,他引:7
Adrian Jäggi R. Dach O. Montenbruck U. Hugentobler H. Bock G. Beutler 《Journal of Geodesy》2009,83(12):1145-1162
Most satellites in a low-Earth orbit (LEO) with demanding requirements on precise orbit determination (POD) are equipped with
on-board receivers to collect the observations from Global Navigation Satellite systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning
System (GPS). Limiting factors for LEO POD are nowadays mainly encountered with the modeling of the carrier phase observations,
where a precise knowledge of the phase center location of the GNSS antennas is a prerequisite for high-precision orbit analyses.
Since 5 November 2006 (GPS week 1400), absolute instead of relative values for the phase center location of GNSS receiver
and transmitter antennas are adopted in the processing standards of the International GNSS Service (IGS). The absolute phase
center modeling is based on robot calibrations for a number of terrestrial receiver antennas, whereas compatible antenna models
were subsequently derived for the remaining terrestrial receiver antennas by conversion (from relative corrections), and for
the GNSS transmitter antennas by estimation. However, consistent receiver antenna models for space missions such as GRACE
and TerraSAR-X, which are equipped with non-geodetic receiver antennas, are only available since a short time from robot calibrations.
We use GPS data of the aforementioned LEOs of the year 2007 together with the absolute antenna modeling to assess the presently
achieved accuracy from state-of-the-art reduced-dynamic LEO POD strategies for absolute and relative navigation. Near-field
multipath and cross-talk with active GPS occultation antennas turn out to be important and significant sources for systematic
carrier phase measurement errors that are encountered in the actual spacecraft environments. We assess different methodologies
for the in-flight determination of empirical phase pattern corrections for LEO receiver antennas and discuss their impact
on POD. By means of independent K-band measurements, we show that zero-difference GRACE orbits can be significantly improved
from about 10 to 6 mm K-band standard deviation when taking empirical phase corrections into account, and assess the impact
of the corrections on precise baseline estimates and further applications such as gravity field recovery from kinematic LEO
positions. 相似文献

A method based on multi-antennae linked to a common GPS receiver is proposed. The goal of the technique is to improve height determination for baselines a few kilometres in length. The advantage of this technique resides in the elimination of relative clock parameters in the between-antenna single difference observations. Because single difference observations are free of clock errors more geometrical strength remains to determine the baseline components. This statement is valid as long as intercable biases can be carefully calibrated. For millimetre height determination, the intercable calibration must be done at the same level of accuracy. Under this assumption it is shown that in general the height standard deviation improves by a factor of about three compared to standard GPS data processing. With the proposed method, the effect of relative tropospheric zenith delay errors becomes a bit smaller (in absolute value), compared to standard data processing. To absorb this error, a relative tropospheric zenith delay parameter may be estimated. Even with this additional parameter in the solution the height standard deviation remains two times smaller than the results of standard processing techniques (without tropospheric zenith delay parameter), and at least five times smaller than in the results obtained from standard processing including one tropospheric zenith delay parameter. 相似文献

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.

Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper Thermal Band Calibration Update 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The Landsat-5 thematic mapper (TM) has been operational since 1984. For much of its life, the calibration of TM has been neglected, but recent efforts are attempting to monitor stability and absolute calibration. This letter focuses on the calibration of the TM thermal band from 1999 to the present. Initial studies in the first two years of the TM mission showed that the thermal band was calibrated within the error in the calibration process (plusmn 0.9 K at 300 K). The calibration was not rigorously monitored again until 1999. While the internal calibrator has behaved as expected, recent vicarious calibration results show a significant offset error of 0.092 W/m2 ldr sr ldr mum or about 0.68 K at 300 K. This offset error was corrected on April 2, 2007 within the U.S. processing system through the modification of a calibration coefficient for all data acquired on or after April 1, 1999. Users can correct their own Level-1 data processed prior to April 2, 2007, by adding 0.092 W/m2 ldr sr ldr mum to their radiance level products. The state of the calibration between 1985 and 1999 is unknown; no changes for data acquired in those years are being recommended here. 相似文献
