XIA Jingping, HU Hui, YAN Yujun, OU Minhui
2017, 42(6): 1-8. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.06.001
Abstract:

Traditional shadow matching signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) threshold cannot distinguish LOS/NLOS effectively, resulting in larger positioning error because of inaccurate visibility of the satellites.Based on the analysis of the SNR characteristics received by the receiver in the urban canyon, an improved shadow matching algorithm based on high score weighting is proposed,and the results of improved algorithm are filtered by particle filterin the dynamicscene.Experimental results show that the average positioning error of the algorithm is 2.45 m and 4.64 m in static and dynamic scene, which is reduced by 38.1% and 21.9% compared to 3.96 m and 5.95 m of traditional shadow matchingpositioning algorithm.

2017, 42(6): 9-15. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.06.002
Abstract:
The loss of lock and cycle slip on GNSS signals occurs frequently in the GPSdenied environment where re-initialization forprecise point positioning (PPP)is usually required.It results in degrading theaccuracyand reliability of PPP. In this paper, an inertial aiding and geometry-specified cycle repair model is applied in PPP/SINS tightly coupled integration. The proposed model using uncombined observations builds the time-differenced carrier phase equations, which cycle slips are estimated and the displacement from inertial is treated as virtual observation for adjustment. When the cycle slips are fixed to correct integers, the original carrier phases are repaired accordingly to keep continues positioning with high precision. Two tests including vehicle and airborne data are analyzed to validate the proposed method. The results show that inertial aiding could accelerate PPP re-convergences significantly and success to repair cycle slips.

2017, 42(6): 24-29. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.06.004
Abstract:
The variations of ionospheric TEC (total electron content) of equatorial anomaly are studied using the data from seven GPS sites of China region in 2004, including the occurrence latitude and time of the crest and the ionospheric gradient. Results show that the latitude of the crest varies from 17.5°N to 22.5°N in different seasons. It is higher in equinoxes and lower in winter, and the mean of occurrence latitude is about 20°N. The occurrence time of the crest varies also between 13 h and 16 h in local time (LT). It is earlier in winter and later in summer, and the mean time is about 14 h LT for the former and between 15 and 16h LT for the latter. It is found that there is the gradient of ionospheric TEC along the longitudinal chain, which vary with the local time and seasons. The minimum of gradient occur in nightside about 4.5 h LT and the maximum appears in dayside between 13 h and 16 h LT. Moreover, the variations of gradient is smaller in different seasons for the nightside and turn notable for the dayside, and the gradient is greater in equinoxes than summer and winter in dayside.

2017, 42(6): 30-35. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.06.005
Abstract:
In Precise Point Positioning, the integer ambiguity does not have integer property, how to solve it accurately has always been a hot topic in recent research. Moreover, in the initial stage,a long time observation should be taken to make the positioning result converge to centimeter to decimeter level. In order to solve this two problems, the shorttime high accuracy positioning information output from the inertial navigation system can be introduced in ambiguity resolution, making the calculation faster and more accurately. The paper describes two kinds of least square methods, including using INS position information to substitute directly and building the virtual observation. Then, the relationship between INS accuracy and accuracy of ambiguity resolution are also discussed under two methods. The simulation result shows that the INS position aiding can effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of ambiguity resolution, shorten the convergence time and improve the positioning accuracy.

2017, 42(6): 55-60. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.06.009
Abstract:
The GNSS nulling antenna array with multiple antenna cells is usually used to form the beam null in the direction of jamming with large power. This is an effective anti-jamming method. Here the 2D short baselines in a nulling antenna array are utilized. According to direction finding principle of multi-baselines interferometer in electronic reconnaissance, the measurement result of short baseline is naturally used to solve the phase difference ambiguity of long baseline for GNSS attitude instrument. In this way the integer cycle ambiguity from GNSS attitude instrument is removed in real time. In this method GNSS attitude instrument is combined with nulling antenna array. It enhanced not only the speed for ambiguity removing, but also the anti-jamming and anti-deception ability of the whole system. It is an important reference for the application development of GNSS attitude instrument and nulling antenna array.

2017, 42(6): 66-71. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.06.011
Abstract:
In this paper, a method for fast ambiguity resolution between reference stations with GNSS zero baseline constraints is proposed. The method is based on the design of "one antenna+two receivers". First of all, using the observations of four receivers on two reference stations, the double difference observation of the ionosphere free combination between four reference stations is constructed. Secondly, combined with the ionosphere ambiguity and the ambiguity of the whole lane, the real solution of N1 ambiguity is obtained by Kalman filter. Then, the linear transformation in the ambiguity domain, single epoch fixed zero baseline ambiguity; the relationship between the use of constraints of zero baseline ambiguity, calculated in the four groups a set of reference station ambiguity. Finally, all the original double difference ambiguities are solved by using the fixed ambiguity. Experiments show that compared with the traditional reference station, the ambiguity fixing method, make full use of the constraint of zero baseline ambiguity, accelerate the ambiguity speed, greatly improve the ambiguity speed and success rate.
