The majority of navigation satellite receivers operate on a single frequency. They compensate for the ionospheric delay using
either an ionospheric model which typically only corrects for 50% of the delay or a thin-shell map of the ionosphere. A 4D
tomographic imaging technique is used to map the free electron density over the full-height of the ionosphere above North
America during autumn 2003. The navigation solutions computed using correction based upon the thin-shell and the full-height
maps are compared in this paper. The maps are used to calculate the excess propagation delay on the L1 frequency experienced
by GPS receivers at selected locations across North America. The excess delay is applied to correct the single-frequency pseudorange
observations at each location, and the improvements to the resulting positioning are calculated. It is shown that the thin-shell
and full-height maps perform almost as well as a dual-frequency carrier-smoothed benchmark and for most receivers better than
the unfiltered dual-frequency benchmark. The full-height corrections perform well and are considerably better than thin-shell
corrections under extreme storm conditions. 相似文献

The ionospheric effect is one of the major errors in GPS data processing over long baselines. As a dispersive medium, it is
possible to compute its influence on the GPS signal with the ionosphere-free linear combination of L1 and L2 observables,
requiring dual-frequency receivers. In the case of single-frequency receivers, ionospheric effects are either neglected or
reduced by using a model. In this paper, an alternative for single-frequency users is proposed. It involves multiresolution
analysis (MRA) using a wavelet analysis of the double-difference observations to remove the short- and medium-scale ionosphere
variations and disturbances, as well as some minor tropospheric effects. Experiments were carried out over three baseline
lengths from 50 to 450 km, and the results provided by the proposed method were better than those from dual-frequency receivers.
The horizontal root mean square was of about 0.28 m (1σ). 相似文献

The performance of a three-dimensional ionospheric electron density model derived from FormoSat3/COSMIC GPS Radio Occultation measurements, called the TaiWan Ionosphere Model (TWIM), in removing the ionospheric delays in single-frequency pseudorange observations is presented. Positioning results using TWIM have been compared with positioning results using other ionospheric models, such as the Klobuchar (KLOB) and the global ionospheric model (GIM). C/A code pseudoranges have been observed at three International GPS Service reference stations that are representative of mid-latitude (BOR1 and IRKJ) and low-latitude (TWTF) regions of the ionosphere. The observations took place during 27 geomagnetically quiet days from April 2010 to October 2011. We perform separate solutions using the TWIM, KLOB, GIM ionospheric models and carry out a solution applying no ionospheric correction at all. We compute the daily mean horizontal errors (DMEAN) and the daily RMS (DRMS) for these solutions with respect to the published reference station coordinates. It has demonstrated that TEC maps generate using the TWIM exhibit a detailed structure of the ionosphere, particularly at low-latitude region, whereas the Klobuchar and the GIM only provide the basic diurnal and geographic features of the ionosphere. Also, it is shown that even for lower satellite elevations, the TWIM provides better positioning than the Klobuchar and GIM models. Specifically, using TWIM, the difference of the uncorrected solution (no ionospheric correction), and the other solutions, relative to the uncorrected solution, is 45 % for the mean horizontal error (DMEAN) and 42 % for the horizontal root-mean-square error (DRMS). Using Klobuchar and GIM, the percent for DMEAN only reaches to about 12 % and 3 %, while the values for the DRMS are only 12 and 4 %, respectively. In the vertical direction, all models have a percentage of about 99 and 70 % for the mean vertical error (VMEAN) and vertical root-mean-square error (VRMS), respectively. These percentages show the greater impact of TWIM on the ionospheric correction compared to the other models. In at least 40 % of the observed days and across all stations, TWIM has the smallest DMEAN, VMEAN, DRMS, and VRMS daily values. These values reach 100 % at station TWTF. This shows the overall performance of TWIM is better than the Klobuchar and GIM. 相似文献

Understanding the role of the ionospheric delay in single-point single-epoch GPS coordinates 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Elsa Mohino 《Journal of Geodesy》2008,82(1):31-45
The ionospheric delay is the main source of error for single-point single-epoch (SPSE) GPS positioning when using single-frequency
receivers. In contrast to the common slant approach, in this article we focus on its effect in final coordinates through the
study of bias propagation in SPSE positioning: we first show an analytical resolution for the propagation problem with highly
symmetric satellite configurations. To overcome some of the disadvantages of this first method, we use Santerre’s technique
and, finally, present a new numerical methodology that allows us to generalize for a real geometry and obtain an average ionospheric
positioning error over a given site. From the results obtained, four working hypotheses that relate the ionospheric shape
above the receiver with final position errors are presented and tested. These four hypotheses, which agree with average ionospheric
positioning error in 95% of the studied cases, can be related to the construction of the design matrix. Finally, these hypotheses
have been used to address a situation where the ionospheric delay is corrected with an ionospheric model. 相似文献

Small-scale irregularities in the background electron density of the ionosphere can cause rapid fluctuations in the amplitude
and phase of radio signals passing through it. These rapid fluctuations are known as scintillation and can cause a Global
Positioning System (GPS) receiver to lose lock on a signal. This could compromise the integrity of a safety of life system
based on GPS, operating in auroral regions. In this paper, the relationship between the loss of lock on GPS signals and ionospheric
scintillation in auroral regions is explored. The period from 8 to 14 November 2004 is selected for this study, as it includes
both geomagnetically quiet and disturbed conditions. Phase and amplitude scintillation are measured by GPS receivers located
at three sites in Northern Scandinavia, and correlated with losses of signal lock in receivers at varying distances from the
scintillation receivers. Local multi-path effects are screened out by rejection of low-elevation data from the analysis. The
results indicate that losses of lock are more closely related to rapid fluctuations in the phase rather than the amplitude
of the received signal. This supports the idea, suggested by Humphreys et al. (2005) (performance of GPS carrier tracking loops during ionospheric scintillations. Proceedings Internationsl Ionospheric Effects
Symposium 3–5 May 2005), that a wide loop bandwidth may be preferred for receivers operating at auroral latitudes. Evidence from the Imaging Riometer
for Ionospheric Studies (IRIS) appears to suggest that, for this particular storm, precipitation of particles in the D/E regions
may be the mechanism that drives the rapid phase fluctuations in the signal.

For the commonly used GPS wide-area augmentation systems (WAAS) with a grid ionospheric model, the efficient modelling of
ionospheric delays in real time, for single-frequency GPS users, is still a crucial issue which needs further research. This
is particularly necessary when differential ionospheric delay corrections cannot be broadcast, when users cannot receive them,
or when there are ionospheric anomalies. Ionospheric delays have a severe effect on navigation performance of single-frequency
receivers. A new scheme is proposed which can efficiently address the above problems. The robust recurrence technique is based
on the efficient combination of single-frequency GPS observations by users and the high-precision differential ionospheric
delay corrections from WAAS. Its effectiveness is verified with examples.

A new algorithm, called as Double-Epoch Algorithm (DEA) is proposed in GPS rapid positioning using two epoch single frequency phase data in this paper. Firstly, the structure characteristic of the normal matrix in GPS rapid positioning is analyzed. Then, in the light of the characteristic, based on TIKHONOV regularization theorem, a new regularizer is designed to mitigate the ill-condition of the normal matrix. The accurate float ambiguity solutions and their MSEM (Mean Squared Error Matrix) are obtained, using two epoch single frequency phase data. Combined with LAMBDA method, DEA can fix the integer ambiguities correctly and quickly using MSEM instead of the covariance matrix of the ambiguities. Compared with the traditional methods, DEA can improve the efficiency obviously in rapid positioning. So, the new algorithm has an extensive application outlook in deformation monitoring, pseudokinematic relative positioning and attitude determination, etc. 相似文献

Spin rate estimation of sounding rockets using GPS wind-up 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1
Carrier phase wind-up is a well-known effect that arises from the relative rotation between a transmitting and receiving antenna.
In GPS measurements at L1 frequency, this effect translates into an error of 19.029 cm per full relative rotation of antennas.
Since this effect is independent of the satellite elevation for pure rotation about the antenna boresight axis, it is usually
absorbed by the clock estimation in navigation algorithms. Therefore, the impact of wind-up is usually neglected for applications
that do not require accuracies to the cm level like RTK. However, in receiving platforms with high rotation rate, the accumulated
wind-up value can be important and actually be larger than receiver noise or even ionospheric variations. Therefore, in such
scenarios, the wind-up contribution can be isolated and used as a source of information to compute the spin rate of such platforms
using an appropriate combination of GPS observables. This work shows some results of a coarse, yet simple, approach to monitor
the rotation angle and spin-rate of spin stabilized sounding rockets flown by DLR. 相似文献

This report provides a detailed performance analysis of three semicodeless dual-frequency GPS receivers for use in low Earth orbit (LEO). The test set comprises the IGOR receiver, which represents a follow-on of the flight-proven BlackJack receiver, as well as two geodetic receivers (NovAtel OEM4-G2 and Septentrio PolaRx2), which are entirely based on commercial-off-the-shelf technology (COTS). All three receivers are considered for upcoming flight projects or experiments and have undergone at least a preliminary environmental qualification program. Using extensive signal simulator tests, the cold start signal acquisition, tracking sensitivity, differential code biases, raw measurement accuracy, and navigation accuracy of each receiver have been assessed. All tests are based on a common scenario that is representative of an actual space mission and provides a realistic simulation of the signal dynamics and quality on a scientific LEO satellite. Compared to the other receivers, the IGOR instrument exhibits a superior tracking sensitivity and is thus best suited for occultation measurements with low tangent point altitudes. The OEM4-G2 and PolaRx2 receivers are likewise shown to properly track dual-frequency GPS signals and normal signal levels and to provide accurate code and carrier phase measurements. Given their limited resource requirements, these receivers appear well suited for precise orbit determination applications and ionospheric sounding onboard of microsatellites with tight mission budgets. 相似文献
