(中国民航大学, 电子信息与自动化学院, 天津300300)
2018, 43(2): 33-39. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2018.02.006
Abstract:
Ionospheric delay is the most important factor affecting the accuracy of navigation and positioning. The BeiDou satellite navigation system uses the Klobuchar model to correct the ionospheric delay error of single frequency receiver users. For dual frequency receivers, the ionospheric delay value can be calculated by using pseudo range observations data of different frequency signals.. In order to compare the correction effect of ionospheric delay of two methods in Tianjin area, the satellite measured data collected by NovAtel GPStation6 receiver (GNSS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monitor Receiver) are used to calculate. Taking the global ionosphere grid data published by the International GNSS Service (IGS) as a reference, the correction effect of the two methods are compared and analyzed. The results show that in the Tianjin area, the ionospheric delay calculated by the dual frequency observations is more accurate than the Klobuchar model, and the average daily correction is 82.11% of IGS, 9.48% higher than that of Klobuchar model.

2018, 43(2): 40-43. doi: 张洁寒 E-mail:1085178269@qq.com[HT]
Abstract:
  Improving the positioning accuracy of satellite navigation system has always been one of the efforts of researchers in the field, and the tropospheric delay correction as the error source of satellite system positioning accuracy has always been the focus of the study. Aiming at the problem of tropospheric delay in the BeiDou satellite system developed by our country, firstly, according to the two kinds of radio propagation effects caused by the tropospheric refraction error, that is, the slowdown of the wave propagation velocity caused by the atmosphere and the bending of the radio waves, The error of refraction caused by satellite positioning. Secondly, the refractive error is calculated by the typical measured sounding data and ray tracing method, and the contribution of the two effects to the tropospheric refraction error is obtained. It is proved that the refraction error caused by the bending of the radio wave can be neglected when the satellite height angle is greater than 5 degrees, and the effect of the wave velocity slowing effect can be avoided only by considering the atmospheric refractive index in the tropospheric delay correction. However, when the satellite elevation angle is less than 5 degrees, two kinds of radio propagation effects must be considered to avoid the refraction error.

Time frequency system is an important part of the ground movement control of the new generation test system, which is responsible for the generation and maintenance of the time frequency signal of the new generation test system. Using the data from the new generation test system time and UTC(BSNC), this paper evaluates performance of system time in new generation test system, compared to the regional system time, the performance of new generation test system time is improved, the 1000s stability and day stability compared to the regional system improve about half an order. Central-distributed time and frequency system is the key technology in the new generation test system. Using the two-way data from center note and frontier node, this paper evaluates performance of frontier node time in new generation test system. Results show that the center note frontier note are in good consistent, with the largest value of 0.23 ns.

2018, 43(2): 79-83. doi: doi:10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2018.02.014
Abstract:
  Satellite clock offset is an important error source affecting the positioning accuracy, and real-time precise point positioning requests satellite clock updated in real time. The Satellite clock offset can be calculated by epoch difference model and non-difference model. Compared to eliminating ambiguity parameters of epoch difference model, nondifference model covers so many carrier phase ambiguity parameters that its computational efficiency is much slower. Epoch difference model can work out epoch difference of satellite clock offset with high accuracy only using carrier phase observation, and the restored satellite clock offset can retain a certain level. Using epoch difference model can realize real-time solution of Beidou satellite clock offset. The experimental results show that the accuracy of satellite clock offset difference between near epoch by the filter is better than 0.02 ns, and the restored satellite clock offset accuracy is better than 0.25 ns.
