One error that must be considered is that of gravity compensation on accelerometer measurements. Prior to the work described in this paper, no stochastic models existed with the Gaussian bounding of the tails required to ensure integrity performance. This paper describes a method to determine efficient stochastic models of the error of current high-order gravity models such as EGM2008. The stochastic and high-order models are combined to achieve a high-fidelity model suitable for use in testing systems designed for low-approach operations such as RNP-AR. This paper also describes a method to determine efficient stochastic models for low-order gravity models such as the WGS-84 ellipsoidal model. Such models may be used in testing systems designed for operations with less stringent lateral requirements.","PeriodicalId":56075,"journal":{"name":"Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77788256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Daily DCB estimates exhibit a precision of 0.1 ns, which also places a limit on long-term variations of the satellite group delays. On the other hand, the estimated DCBs show a notable dependence on the employed receivers, which causes inconsistencies at the few-nanosecond level between BeiDou-2 and BeiDou-3 satellites. Systematic satellite-specific offsets can likewise be identified in broadcast group delay values and clock offsets. These constitute the dominant contribution of the signal-in-space range error (SISRE) budget and are a limiting factor for single point positioning and timing. Use of the modernized B1C/B2a signals is therefore recommended instead of B1I/B3I. This offers a SISRE reduction from about 0.6 m to 0.45 m and also improves the consistency of precise clock and bias products derived from heterogeneous receiver networks.","PeriodicalId":56075,"journal":{"name":"Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75166993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A factor called dynamic and geometric dilution of precision (DAGDOP) is proposed to simultaneously incorporate influences from the dynamics and geometry of satellite pairs. Based on the DAGDOP, the effect of different observation arcs on the AOD accuracy is investigated. Next, the AOD accuracy of three different types of satellite pairs—halo+halo, DRO+DRO, and halo+DRO—is systematically analyzed. The hybrid halo+DRO type shows the best overall accuracy. Finally, the AOD performance of the hybrid type is verified in a realistic model. Our studies find that the average AOD accuracy of the halo orbit is about 170 meters, and that of the DRO is about 190 meters. The relative time synchronization error of two satellites is less than 30 nanoseconds.","PeriodicalId":56075,"journal":{"name":"Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89927484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The success of government pro-grams such as COSMIC is now complemented by commercial low-cost cubesats. The result is access to more than 10,000 soundings per day. We examine aerial platforms for commercial GNSS-RO, specifically high-altitude balloons and commercial aviation. Meteorological balloons (radiosondes) are deployed daily in over 900 locations globally. Adding GNSS-RO capability to radiosondes would expand capability and enable local area monitoring. Commercial aviation offers scale with more than 100,000 flights daily. A barrier to entry for the inclusion of GNSS-RO sensors is cost and complexity, as GNSS-RO traditionally requires highly specialized equipment. This paper describes a low-cost and scalable approach to aerial GNSS-RO based on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) GNSS receivers. We present hardware prototypes and data processing techniques that demonstrate technical feasibility through the results from several flight testing campaigns.","PeriodicalId":56075,"journal":{"name":"Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89223145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To mitigate the ambiguity of BOC signals, a split-spectrum method extracts the upper and lower sidebands of a BOC signal, treats them separately as two binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals, and finally combines the results to recover the loss due to splitting. The CCLCI scheme burns through strong interference by building up the desired weak signal while averaging out noise and interference. It exploits all information available (L1 and L2, upper and lower sidebands, odd and even chips, and I-and Q-components) by applying coherent combining across signal components and long coherent integration over time, followed by noncoherent accumulation if necessary. Issues and enabling techniques are described. The results of an embed - ded implementation in demonstration with a GPS RF simulator are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":56075,"journal":{"name":"Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75759527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
