Some Remarks on GPS Ambiguity Resolution
نویسنده
چکیده
In this contribution we will discuss some issues of GPS ambiguity resolution. The issues are related to inconsistencies and misconceptions which are unfortunately still present in some of the practical methods used for ambiguity resolution. In this contribution four such pitfalls will be identified and discussed. The first two pitfalls are concerned with the way the integer ambiguities are sometimes computed. They show what might happen with the solution when the neccessary precautions are not taken. The last two pitfalls are related to the statistical properties which are sometimes thought to be valid for the estimated ambiguities.

Evaluation of the Regularization Algorithm to Decorrelation of Covariance Matrix of Float Ambiguity in Fast Resolution of GPS Ambiguity Parameters
Precise positioning in Real Time Kinematic (RTK) applications depends on the accurate resolution of the phase ambiguities. In RTK positioning, ambiguity parameters are highly correlated, especially when the positioning rate is high. Consequently, application of de-correlation techniques for the accurate resolution of ambiguities is inevitable. Phase ambiguity as positioning observations by the ...

Carrier phase ambiguity resolution is the key to fast and high precision GPS kinematic positioning. Critical in the application of ambiguity resolution is the quality of the computed integer ambiguities. Unsuccessful ambiguity resolution, when passed unnoticed, will too often lead to unacceptable errors in the positioning results. In order to describe the quality of the integer ambiguities, the...
متن کاملBias Robustness of GPS Ambiguity Resolution
GPS ambiguity resolution is the key to fast and high precision relative GPS positioning. Since unsuccessful ambiguity resolution, when passed unnoticed, will often lead to unacceptable errors in the positioning results, very high success rates are required for ambiguity resolution to be reliable. Biases which are unaccounted for will lower the level of the ambiguity success rate and thus increa...
