2017, 42(1): 6-11. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2017.01.002
Abstract:
  When the velocity of carrier frequently was mutated, Kalman filter have strong dependence of system model and poor robustness in GPS positioning computation. A new improved strong tracking Kalman filter based on fuzzy logic adaptive controller is presented. By monitoring the residual mean, the fuzzy logic adaptive controller of this method dynamically adjusts the softening factor according to fuzzy rules. For this reason, this method modifies the fading adaptively and achieve the inhibition of carrier mutation. The results of simulation indicate that this new approach has a better accuracy than the extended Kalman filter and strong tracking Kalman filter in the field of maneuvering target tracking in carrier mutation, its stability are also improved.

Abstract:
    The monitoring stations of BeiDou 2nd generation navigation satellite system are built based on the 1st generation system, for the convenience of management, monitoring antennas are installed on the roof of the monitoring station. So their stability are not enough. At the same time, the coordinate system of BeiDou 2nd generation navigation satellite system is 2000 China Geodetic Coordinate System (CGCS2000) at present and the calculation error is out of range. According to these problems, the effect of timevarying and ground subsidence are analyzed in this paper, and the error order of magnitude processed by methods of time varying effect is also pointed out at present. We discuss the initial implementation and refinement realizations of the World Geodetic System 1984(WGS84) frame, which used as the terrestrial reference system for GPS. Finally, for the situation of BDS monitoring stations, we propose to set up coordinate time series through Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) continuous observation to maintenance the coordinate of monitoring station. Some suggestions are put forward for the monitoring station construction, data processing etc
