Abstract
BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) has got the global service capability after the launch of the 55th BDS-3 satellite on June 23, 2020. Currently, BDS is operated based on both the second generation BDS (BDS-2, with 15 satellites transmitting triple frequency signals) and the third generation BDS (BDS-3, with 30 satellites providing services from five frequency signals). To make full use of BDS-2 + BDS-3 signals (B1I, B2I, B3I, B1C, and B2a), this paper introduces an undifferenced and uncombined Precise Point Positioning (PPP) model by using single/dual/triple frequencies BDS-2/BDS-3 data. Results illustrate that the Root Mean Square (RMS) values of BDS-3 PPP based on new signals are better than BDS-2 (B1I + B3I), but worse than BDS-3 (B1I + B3I). Generally, triple-frequency PPP is close to that of dual-frequency PPP, but it is improved significantly in the north, east and vertical components comparing with single-frequency PPP. Compared to the positioning accuracy of GPS + BDS-2 PPP, those of GPS + BDS-3 PPP are improved obviously, especially in the horizontal components. While using BDS-2 and BDS-3 together, the positioning performance of GPS + BDS-2 + BDS-3 is upgraded significantly in both horizontal and vertical directions. Moreover, the convergence time of BDS-3 (especially B1C + B2a) and BDS-2 + BDS-3 PPP are accelerated visibly comparing with that of BDS-2 PPP.
