Abstract

Observation noise is one of the most significant error sources in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). It can be influenced by various factors. Analyzing these factors is crucial for developing a stochastic model for GNSS navigation and positioning. This process ensures that the statistical properties of the observational data are accurately characterized, leading to more reliable and precise positioning results. Previous research has predominantly focused on code type and PPP techniques, often limited by the inability to separately assess observation types across different frequency bands due to ionospheric delay. If based on short baseline, these studies were generally constrained by limited experimental data. This study provides a detailed analysis of the affecting factor on observation noise, including elevation, SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), different receiver and antenna type, different GNSS system, and different frequency bands etc. In addition, environmental effects on observation noise are investigated by comparison between short baseline and zero baseline.

全面分析影响全球导航卫星系统观测噪声的因素

观测噪声是全球导航卫星系统（GNSS）中最重要的误差源之一。它可能受到各种因素的影响。分析这些因素对于开发 GNSS 导航和定位随机模型至关重要。这一过程可确保观测数据的统计特性得到准确描述，从而获得更可靠、更精确的定位结果。以往的研究主要集中在代码类型和 PPP 技术上，但往往受限于电离层延迟而无法分别评估不同频段的观测类型。如果基于短基线，这些研究通常会受到有限实验数据的限制。本研究详细分析了观测噪声的影响因素，包括海拔高度、SNR（信噪比）、不同接收器和天线类型、不同 GNSS 系统和不同频段等。此外，还通过比较短基线和零基线，研究了环境对观测噪声的影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (JASTP) is an international journal concerned with the inter-disciplinary science of the Earth''s atmospheric and space environment, especially the highly varied and highly variable physical phenomena that occur in this natural laboratory and the processes that couple them. The journal covers the physical processes operating in the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, the Sun, interplanetary medium, and heliosphere. Phenomena occurring in other "spheres", solar influences on climate, and supporting laboratory measurements are also considered. The journal deals especially with the coupling between the different regions. Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other energetic events on the Sun create interesting and important perturbations in the near-Earth space environment. The physics of such "space weather" is central to the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics and the journal welcomes papers that lead in the direction of a predictive understanding of the coupled system. Regarding the upper atmosphere, the subjects of aeronomy, geomagnetism and geoelectricity, auroral phenomena, radio wave propagation, and plasma instabilities, are examples within the broad field of solar-terrestrial physics which emphasise the energy exchange between the solar wind, the magnetospheric and ionospheric plasmas, and the neutral gas. In the lower atmosphere, topics covered range from mesoscale to global scale dynamics, to atmospheric electricity, lightning and its effects, and to anthropogenic changes.
