Abstract

The main problem of implementing high-precision pseudoranges by carrier phase lies in their ambiguity associated with the ambiguity of the phase measurements of the navigation receiver. Thus, the development of new methods for phase ambiguity resolution becomes a very important element of high-precision positioning. The paper considers relative methods for estimating the coordinates of a stationary object that involve the use of both user and base (network in the case of a network of base receivers) receivers with precisely known coordinates located at a distance of several thousand kilometers from each other. We propose an algorithm for phase ambiguity resolution (integer type) based on the use of a Kalman-type filter (KTF), which receives ionosphere-free combinations of code and carrier phase pseudoranges. It is shown that traditional methods of ambiguity resolution require a significant observation period (about 2,000 seconds). We propose a method for evaluating the linear combination of phase ambiguities in the L1 and L2 bands obtained from instantaneous phase measurements. Its application along with the estimation of KTF parameters makes it possible to resolve phase ambiguities from as early as 50 seconds of observation. Set forth are the results of an experiment, in which code pseudorange measurements are used prior to the resolution of phase ambiguities and carrier phase pseudorange measurements are used after ambiguity resolution.
