MENG Xin, CAO Yueling, LOU Lizhi, MAO Pengyu
2017, 42(5): 1-9. doi: doi:10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.05.001
Abstract:
To improve the service performance of GPS, many countries and regions have established independent GPS Satellite -Based Augment System(SBAS), providing the broadcast ephemeris differential integrity message to satisfy the high precision and the high integrity users’ needs. This paper introduced the message format of the broadcast ephemeris differential integrity message of SBAS such as WAAS and EGNOS, and analyzed the real broadcast ephemeris differential integrity message of SBAS. The long-time corrections and the fast corrections’change characteristic of the broadcast ephemeris are analyzed in different regions which have the different SBAS and different message processing modes. Based on the GPS data provided by the International GNSS Service (IGS), the algorithm of using the broadcast ephemeris differential integrity message of SBAS are studied, and the positioning accuracy and integrity service of WAAS and EGNOS are compared and analyzed. The result shows that the positioning accuracy of WAAS is about 1.2 m, and the positioning accuracy of EGNOS is about 1.8 m. Compared with GPS basic navigation service, the positioning accuracy of WAAS and EGNOS could be increased by about 22% and 16%. The integrity protection limits calculated by WAAS and EGNOS are roughly equal, within 16 m, and the positioning error can be enveloped.

YANG Dengke
2017, 42(5): 21-24. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.05.004
Abstract:
According to the fact that there is on enough research on the comparison of noise characteristics among different components, this paper focusing on the coordinate time series of 58 reference stations in Europe for 11 years, noise analysis has been implemented using different noise model combination and the noise characteristics of each component direction are compared. From these analysis, the noise characteristics in the NEU component of each station is variable, so it is necessary to treat each component differently when analysing the physical interpretation of time series variation characteristics; the coloured noise and amplitude of the vertical component are obviously larger than the horizontal direction, which is consistent with the generally considered the accuracy of the vertical component lower than the horizontal component.

2017, 42(5): 25-28. doi: doi:10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.05.005
Abstract:
 A high precision spatial coordinate transformation method based on the robust robustness estimation theory is proposed to avoid the influence of the coordinates of the common point coordinates or the error is too large to solve the coordinate transformation parameters. The method uses IGGIII model redefines the common point with low accuracy or large error, and gradually reduces its role in solving the coordinate transformation parameters, and obtains the reliable coordinate transformation parameters. Finally, the algorithm is used to calculate the common point coordinate data in a project instance. The comparison between the two schemes shows that the proposed method is practical and effective, and can achieve the goal of high precision coordinate transformation. In the actual measurement production has a certain value to promote.

LIU Fengshou, GUO Baowen
2017, 42(5): 43-48. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.05.009
Abstract:
    In the research field of adaptive nulling antenna for satellite navigation, it can be divided into super high degree of freedom algorithm, direction and robust adaptive calculation direction. The representative of the super high degree of freedom algorithm is space frequency adaptive processing (SFAP). SFAP greatly increases the freedom of adaptive computing, and can improve the system of interference suppression when the channel is mismatched. The representative of robust adaptive computation is the QR-RLS algorithm, because the QR-RLS algorithm belongs to the data domain algorithm, so it has a good adaptability to the deterioration of the condition of the autocorrelation matrix. Combining the advantages of the two algorithms, a SYSTOLIC-SFAP algorithm is given. In the SFAP framework, the SYSTOLIC array is used to complete the QR-RLS adaptive computation, which is insensitive to channel mismatch and has good convergence performance.

Abstract:
   The roving station often can’t obtain the fixed solution when it is more than 30 km between the distance of them with distance away from the reference station. To achieve the real-time processing of the real-time dynamic difference over a long distance, the choice of the GAMIT software almost real-time kinematic TRACK processing module, real-time deformation sequence. TRACK module of GAMIT software is almost chosen to process real-time dynamic difference data over a long distance to achieve real-time deformation sequence. Surveying and mapping workers almost all choose IGS to calculate the of coordinates of roving station and improve the precision of coordinates,but time delay of IGS ephemeris is very long (generally 12 hours), the efficiency of time is low. To solve the problem, the authors do experiments that using the rapid ephemeris (IGR) and precise ephemeris afterwards (IGS) are respectively process the data of roving station. The results of experiments are highly. corresponding. Research results show that has very little to do with choosing the type of precise ephemeris which is used the TRACK module of GAMIT software is used to process data accuracy of station-coordinates, zenith delay and clock error etc. The conclusion has important reference value to surveying and mapping workers in the aspect of improving the time-efficiency.

2017, 42(5): 63-67. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.05.013
Abstract:
     In the GNSS receiver, it is very common to extract the navigation message caused by bit synchronization errors, such as the failure of the navigation message and the error of the pseudo range. The current bit synchronization algorithm is mainly based on the histogram method. Among them, the histogram method based on hard decision is widely used, mainly because of its convenient implementation, but its low noise ratio is too low, can not meet the needs of the project. Therefore, it is necessary to study the bit synchronization algorithm under low SNR, this scheme adopts the bit synchronization algorithm with the combination of histogram method and software. First, the GNSS signal data is generated at different carrier to noise ratio, and it has 20 bit boundaries. Then, two algorithms are used to carry out bit synchronization. Repeated simulation times, each time the simulation using random bit boundary, get the correct bit synchronization probability of each algorithm in different carrier to noise ratio. The simulation results show that the longer the bit synchronization time is, the greater the probability of the algorithm is. In the low carrier to noise ratio, the soft correlation method is much higher than the traditional histogram method. Then the soft correlation method was implement in altera arriav.

2017, 42(5): 68-73. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.05.014
Abstract:
 Aiming at the problem that the traditional code-carrier phase cycle detection method is applied to single frequency RTK, which is not sensitive to small cycle slips and is susceptible to observation noise, the thesis presents a single frequency cycle slip detection method with Doppler observations supporting. And this method combines two consecutive epochal Doppler observations with carrier phase difference observations to construct a Doppler-carrier phase difference sequence for real-time cycle slip detection. Then the hypothesis-test method is applied to detect whether there is a cycle slip in the single frequency carrier phase observations. Finally, the measured data shows that the method proposed in the thesis can accurately detect the small cycle slips in the single frequency carrier phase observation data, and the detection sensitivity of the method is higher than that of the traditional code-phase difference sequence method, which is suitable for single frequency RTK positioning technology.
