Closed Form Expressions for the Volume of the Gps Ambiguity Search Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
In this contribution we present closed form expressions for the volumes of the GPS ambiguity search spaces. This is done for the geometry-free model, the time-averaged model and the geometry-based model. We also discriminate between single-frequency data and dual-frequency data, and between phase-only cases and phase and code cases. Our results provide an intrinsic precision description of the leastsquares ambiguities and explicit show the various factors that influence it.

Precision, volume and eigenspectra for GPS ambiguity estimation based on the time-averaged satellite geometry
In this contribution we consider the timeaveraged GPS single-baseline model and study in a qualitative sense its relation with the geometry-free model and the geometry-based model. The least-squares estimators of the model are derived and their properties discussed. Special attention is given to the ambiguity search space, since it plays such a crucial role in the problem of integer ambiguity e...
متن کاملA canonical theory for short GPS baselines. Part IV: precision versus reliability
This contribution is the last of four parts and deals with the link between baseline precision and ambiguity reliability. It is shown analytically how and to what extent the baseline-ambiguity correlation is related to the gain in baseline precision, to the volume of the ambiguity search space, and to the impact of potential integer ambiguity biases. Also, an ambiguity DOP measure is introduced...
متن کاملEvaluation 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 ...
متن کاملClosed-Form ADOP Expressions for Single-Frequency GNSS-Based Attitude Determination
Integer ambiguity resolution is a prerequisite to high-precision real-time GNSS-based attitude determination. The ADOP is a well-known scalar measure to infer whether ambiguity resolution can be expected successful or not. To compute ADOP it is sufficient to have knowledge about the measurement setup and the measurements noise characteristics; hence it can be used as a planning tool. In this co...
متن کاملThe Volume of the GPS Ambiguity Search Space and its Relevance for Integer Ambiguity Resolution
In the theory of integer least-squares ambiguity estimation and validation, a central role is played by the ambiguity search space. In this contribution, the significance of the volume of the ambiguity search space is discussed and analyzed. It is shown how the volume can be used as an estimate for the number of grid points inside the GPS ambiguity search space. This is done for various measure...
