8:30 - 12:00, Tuesday, String 3
340A: GNSS Kinematic Positioning Methods I

Register for this tutorial  ~  Back to main tutorials page

 

GNSS positioning allows users to achieve accuracies to the centimeter level very effectively. This first half-day addresses the principles and system limitations.

Dr. Gιrard Lachapelle & Dr. Mark Petovello
University of Calgary

GPS Observation Equations
• Code measurements
• Carrier-phase measurements
• Definition of integer ambiguity
• Instantaneous Doppler measurements
• Linear phase combinations
• Ionospheric modeling

 

Errors and Biases
• Signal degradation overview
• Space vehicle (SV) clock errors and orbital biases
• Atmospheric propagation errors
• Code and carrier-phase multipath
• Cycle slip detection and corrections
• Antenna phase center variations

 

Differential Techniques to Reduce Biases and Errors
• Single-difference DGPS
• Double-difference DGPS
• Carrier-phase based DGPS float vs. fixed integer systems

 

Level: A good knowledge of the GPS operation is assumed, as well as familiarity with engineering analysis methods.

This second half-day OTF (On-The-Fly) carrier phase ambiguity resolution techniques, emerging multi-frequency methods and multiple-reference station methods.

Dr. Lachapelle & Dr. Petovello

OTF Carrier Phase Ambiguity Resolution
• Definition of the ambiguity search space
• Reduction of search space through decorrelation
• Testing of integer ambiguities
• Selection of integer ambiguity combination
• Validation of selected ambiguities
• Role of external sensors in ambiguity resolution
• Assessing the probability of correct fix

 

Emerging Multi-Frequency Methods

• Multi-reference station carrier-phase based RTK
• Virtual Reference Station (VRS) concept
• Case studies

 

Level: A good knowledge of the GPS operation is assumed, as well as familiarity with engineering analysis methods.
