According to the different baseline lengths, we quantitatively analyzed how much precision of the baseline de-termination is improved for GPS survey when using the precise ephemeris instead of the broadcast ephemeris of GPS satellites. For this research, we selected seven baselines ranging from 15 km to 201 km and performed GPS measurements more than six times for each baseline. The observed data for each baseline were processed two times with the same conditions alternately changing the broadcast and the precise ephemeris. The standard deviations from the repeated measurements for each baseline are compared between the results of using the broadcast ephemeris and the precise ephemeris. As the result, the precision, stability and reliability of the base-line determination using the precise ephemeris is better than those of using the broadcast ephemeris for all base-lines. When using precise ephemeris for the baselines longer than 65 km, the precision less than 0.1ppm is always obtained and the precision improvement rate by using the precise ephemeris is considerably greater than that for the shorter baselines. We expect that this result might be a quantative basis for the decision about what ephemeris is better for the baseline length and the demanded precision in GPS survey.

IGS provides so accute a final precise ephmerides which is offered in the 13rd, and it also offers a rapid precise ephmerides for more prompt application and an ultra-rapid precise ephmerides for real-time application. The purpose of this study is to analyze the accuracy of a rapid precise ephemerides and an ultra-rapid precise ephemerides based on a final precise ephmerides and determine the degree of the Lagrange Interpolation which needs to decide the location of a satellite. As the result of this study, the root mean square error of x,y,z coordinates of a rapid precise ephemerides was $\pm$0.0l6m or so, and the root mean square error of an observed ultra-rapid precise ephemerides was approximately $\pm$0.024m. The root mean square error of an ultra-rapid precise ephemerides predicted for 24 hours was $\pm$0.07m or so and the one of an ultra-rapid precise ephemerides predicted for 6 hours was $\pm$0.04m or so. Therefore, I could figure out that it had higher accuracy than a broadcast ephemerides. Also, in case that the location of a satellite was calculated with the method of the Lagrange Interpolation, it was confirmed that using the 9th order polynomial was efficient.

Every time laboratory in the world follows an international standard time scale and GPS (Global Positioning System) is playing an important role. Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science is also operating a permanent GPS station for time transfer. To improve the accuracy and precision of the clock offsets derived from GPS we used carrier phase measurements. In addition, we tested four different kinds of GPS satellite orbits and compared the results. The precision of the time offsets using rapid and ultra-rapid orbits was about 0.5 nanoseconds (ns). Tn the case of broadcast orbits, the precision was better than 2 ns.

This paper establised GPS network consist of 75km average baseline lengths over Jeollanamdo and Jeollabukdo nine point station and fixed Gwangju point station. We quantitavely analyzed how much precision of the baseline determination is improved for GPS survey when using the precise eqhemeris instead of tile broadcast ephemeris of GPS satellites. The observed data for each baseline were processed two times with the same conditions alternately changing the broadcast and the precise ephemeris. The standard deviations from the repeated measurments for each baseline ara compared between the results of using the broadcast ephemeris and the precise ephemeris. As the results, the precision, stability and reliability of the baseline determination using the precise ephemeris is better than those of using the broadcast ephemeris for all baselines.

The accuracy of user position by GPS is heavily dependent upon the accuracy of satellite position which is usually transmitted to GPS users in radio signals. The real-time satellite position information directly obtained from broadcast ephimerides has the accuracy of 3~10 meters which is very unsatisfactory to measure 100km baseline to the accuracy of less than a few mili-meters. There are globally at present seven orbit analysis centers capable of generating precise GPS ephimerides and their orbit quality is of the order of about 10cm. Therefore, precise orbit model and phase processing technique were reviewed and consequently precise GPS ephimerides were produced after processing the phase observables of 28 global GPS stations for 1 day. Initial 6 orbit parameters and 2 solar radiation coefficients were estimated using batch least square algorithm and the final results were compared with the orbit of IGS, the International GPS Service for Goedynamics.

Rapid and accurate data processing is required in many GPS(Global Positioning System) applications including surveying. While one can use four different kinds of GPS satellite orbits, we evaluated the accuracy and precision of each kind of orbits to find the best candidate for rapid and accurate data processing. The four different kinds of orbits we: broadcast orbits from GPS satellites; and ultra-rapid orbits, rapid orbits, and precise orbits provided by international GPS data analysis centers such as IGS. With GIPSY and ultra-rapid orbits, we could get the positioning accuracy of 1.5cm from seven days of GPS data. From this study, we conclude that rapid and accurate data processing is achieved with GIPSY and ultra-rapid orbits.

The accuracy of GPS applications is heavily dependent on the satellite ephemeris and earth orientation parameter. Specially applications like as the real time monitoring of troposphere and ionosphere require real time or predicted ephemeris arid earth orientation parameter with very high quality. IGS is producing IGS ultra rapid product called IGU for real time applications which includes the information of ephemeris and earth orientation. IGU is being made available twice everyday at 3:00 and 15:00 UTC arid covers 48 hours. The first 24 hours of it are based on actual GPS observations and the second 24 hours extrapolated. We will construct the processing strategy for yielding ultra rapid product and demonstrate the propriety through producing it using 48 hours data of 32 stations.

The orbit ephemeris of Global Positioning System(GPS) is one element to determine the surveying accuracy and there are broadcasting ephemeris and precise ephemeris, IGS rapid orbit and IGS ultra rapid orbit in the orbit ephemeris of GPS. In this study, test area was selected in Uljin, Kyungsanbukdo and GPS surveying was accomplished at 37 points in the test area. Then baseline solution was done on 74 baseline using broadcasting ephemeris and precise ephemeris and analysis by TGO and the results were compared. Comparison results were showed that there were nearly no difference between the two results but in case of relative precision of the baseline, it was slightly better the baseline results of precise ephemeris which showed 0.706ppm than the baseline results of broadcasting ephemeris which showed 0.708ppm.

SBAS(Satellite Based Augmentation System) provides GNSS satellite orbit and clock corrections for positioning accuracy improvement of GNSS users. In this paper, the accuracy of SBAS satellite orbit and clock corrections were analyzed by comparing with the IGS(International GNSS Service) precise ephemeris. The GPS antenna phase center offsets and the P1-C1 bias are considered for the analysis. The correction data of the US WAAS and the Japanese MSAS were analyzed. The analysis results showed that the SBAS satellite orbit and clock corrections are highly correlated. The correction data accuracy depends on the SBAS ground network size and orbit trajectories.
