Abstract

The Doppler-assisted error provided by a low-precision microelectromechanical system (MEMS) strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) increases rapidly. Therefore, the bandwidth of the tracking loop for a global positioning system (GPS)/MEMS-SINS ultra-tight integration system is too narrow to track Doppler shift. GPS measurement error is correlated with the MEMS-SINS velocity error when the Doppler-assisted error exists, leading to tracking loop lock loss. The estimated precision of the integrated Kalman filter (IKF) also decreases. Even the integrated system becomes unstable. To solve this problem, an innovative GPS/MEMS-SINS ultra-tight integration scheme based on using high-precision carrier phase measurements as the IKF measurements is proposed in this study. By assisting the tracking loop with time-differenced carrier phase (TDCP) velocity, the carrier loop noise bandwidth and code correlator spacing are reduced. The tracking accuracies of the carrier and code are increased. The navigation accuracy of GPS/MEMS-SINS ultra-tight integration is further improved.

Introduction

The error characteristics of global positioning systems (GPSs) and strapdown inertial navigation systems (SINSs) are highly complementary. Integrating high-precision carrier phase measurements and the MEMS-SINS velocity error. Integrating high-precision GPS carrier phase measurements and would improve the accuracy of the GPS/MEMS-SINS integration.

System; IF: intermediate frequency; K:switch; PLL: phase lock loop; IMU: inertial measurement unit; The proposed scheme adopts TDCP velocity and CSP as the IKF measurements to estimate the state vector and to correct SINS errors. Considering the configuration of the federated filter, the innovative GPS/MEMS-SINS ultra-tight integration isolates the measurement noise of the CSP and TDCP velocity to take advantage of the high-precision measurement. In this study, based on the above literature, TDCP was used to improve the speed measurement accuracy, CSP was used to improve the pseudo-distance measurement accuracy, a system solution was created on the basis of low-cost and low-precision MEMS/SINS, and a laboratory semi-physical simulation experiment and land vehicle experiment were conducted to further verify the feasibility of the scheme
