2018, 43(5): 1-8. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2018.05.001
Abstract:
The BDS-3 satellite navigation system has entered the global coverage stage this year, and it is expected that the service area of the BDS-3 will cover the “the Belt and Road” countries and neighboring countries by the end of 2018. At present, the BDS-3 has released four ICD (Interface Control Document) for the signal B1I, B1C, B2a, and B3I. The optimal linear coefficients with minimal noise are induced with the analytical method considering the wavelength and ionoshperic scale factor of combinations. It is shown that the optimal extrawide lane (EWL) combination of the BDS3 are the linear combination (1,-1,0) of the signals (B1C,B1I,B2a) and (B1C,B1I,B3I), and the optimal wide-lane (WL) combination is the linear combination (1,-3,2) composed with the signals (B1I,B3I,B2a) and (B1C,B3I,B2a), these three combinations are also the best combination among all the BDS-3, BDS-2 and GPS linear combinations. Using the measured data of BDS-3 to select the WL/EWL combinations for double-difference ambiguity resolution under the long and short baseline, not only the conclusion of the combinations of WL and EWL is verified, it is also concluded that the WL combinations (1,-3,2) and EWL combinations (1,-4,3) and (0,1,-1) of triplefrequency signals (B1I,B3I,B2a) and (B1C,B3I,B2a) are applicable to both long and short baseline conditions, and the better WL/EWL combinations of triple-frequency signals (B1C,B1I,B2a) and (B1C,B1I,B3I) are only applicable to the short baseline conditions.

2018, 43(5): 17-22. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2018.05.003
Abstract:
The code bias in the receiver instrument deviation is an important factor affecting the accuracy of the total electron content in the ionosphere. If the effect of the code bias of the instrument on the ionosphere is ignored, the 9~30 TECU deviation can be brought to the solution of the electron content, so the exact solution of the machine code deviation is crucial. This paper uses 6-day GPS dual-frequency observation data and joints spherical harmonic model to estimate the differential code bias in the receiver on the basis of least squares. The results are compared and analyzed with the solution given by the CODE analysis center ionosphere product,at the same time,this paper also evaluats the accuracy of receiver differential code bias estimation. The results show that the results obtained by the estimation method in the paper are basically consistent with the results given by the ionosphere products in the CODE analysis center, and the estimated accuracy is quite high, therefore, this method has certain validity for the extraction of differential code bias.

2018, 43(5): 23-28. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2018.05.004
Abstract:
Aiming at less use of GAMIT software to analyze the BeiDou baseline, firstly we use the GAMIT software to calculate the BeiDou long baseline, then select the cutoff height angle, the zenith troposphere delay parameter, the three control parameters of the measuring station constraint value to test the effect of the BeiDou long baseline solution. The results show that the GAMIT (10.61) can successfully solve the BeiDou long baseline and the relative precision is 10-8 magnitude; the selection of the cutoff height has a great influence on the resolution accuracy, and the setting of the number of the delay parameters of the zenith troposphere has little influence on the solution, but the resolution accuracy also improves with the increasing of the number. It is very important to choose the appropriate constraint value to set the different constraint values of the station to influence the baseline accuracy.

2018, 43(5): 29-33. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2018.05.005
Abstract:
Accurate and effective track points prediction not only can ensure the safety and stable transition of airspace, make use of resources in a sensible manner to improve operational efficiency, but also can be used to the availability of RAIM prediction during flight for the sake of flight safety. The WGS-84 coordinate system recommended by the international civil aviation organization (ICAO) is the world standard for airborne navigation systems. The WGS-84-based T.Vincenty embedded coefficient method is analyzed to calculate the coordinates of the track points and the time of the crossing point of the cruise phase by means of T.Vincenty method. The simulation validates the accuracy of the land subject matter back and forth calculation and verifies the reliability of the track points prediction through the actual flight data.

With the development of navigation system, the frequency band for navigation is becoming more and more crowded, which accounts for the interference among different navigation systems and navigation satellites becoming severer and severer. In this paper, binary subcarrier is introduced. By designing the frequency and phase of the subcarrier, the satellite signals become almost orthotropic, for which the crosscorrelation interference can be mitigated affectively.

Abstract:
In order to verify whether the traditional interpolating model can meet the requirement of double-difference ionospheric delay accuracy of the continuously operating reference station CORS system at a long distance. By constructing an ionospheric double-difference observation equation, linear interpolation model (LIM) and distance-dependent linear interpolation model (DIM) are taken as the research object, and virtual reference station technology (VRS) is represented as the representative monitoring station. The differential ionospheric delay is compared with the double-difference ionospheric delay of the monitoring station obtained by LIM and DIM interpolation algorithm.  The two models are analyzed under the longdistance CORS network. The double difference ionosphere delay interpolation effect. The experimental results show that the interpolation accuracy of the LIM model is higher than that of the DIM model under the condition of the remote CORS network monitoring station.

GAO Kun, LI Yingbing, LIU Haizhu
2018, 43(5): 58-60. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2018.05.011
Abstract:
The El Nio-Southern Oscillation event (ENSO) causes anomalous global climate and also causes abnormal changes in the global barometric pressure. The traditional atmospheric pressure detection technology has the problems of high cost, lack of data in the marine area and uneven distribution. In order to solve the above problems, this paper proposes to study the changes of atmospheric pressure during the ENSO by using the global atmospheric pressure retrieved from the GNSS occultation data. In this paper, GNSS occultation data from 2006 to 2008 are used to calculate the change of atmospheric pressure at 2 km by geometric optical inversion. The global atmospheric pressure difference among El Nio (december 2006), La Nia (december 2007) and the normal year (december 2008) is taken as the difference and the change of atmospheric pressure is analyzed. The experimental results show that using the GNSS occultation data to draw a map of atmospheric pressure changes at a certain height on the global scale, the atmospheric pressure changes during the ENSO can be visually demonstrated, providing a convenient reference for relevant climate change research.
