The occurrence of cycle slips is a major limiting factor to attain high precision positioning and navigation results with GPS. Cycle slips must be correctly repaired at the data processing stage. In this study, the technique to find cycle slips in the processing of data collected with Trimble 4700 GPS receivers is suggested. The use of Kalman filtering techniques is used in an attempt to reduce the effect of the noise in the different quantities involved and to improve the accuracy in cycle slip correction.

This paper addresses solutions to the challenges of carrier phase integer ambiguity resolution and cycle slip detection/identification, for maintaining high accuracy of an integrated GPS/Pseudolite/INS system. Such a hybrid positioning and navigation system is an augmentation of standard GPS/INS systems in localized areas. To achieve the goal of high accuracy, the carrier phase measurements with correctly estimated integer ambiguities must be utilized to update the system integration filter's states. The occurrence of a cycle slip that is undetected is, however, can significantly degrade the filter's performance. This contribution presents an effective approach to increase the reliability and speed of integer ambiguity resolution through using pseudolite and INS measurements, with special emphasis on reducing the ambiguity search space. In addition, an algorithm which can effectively detect and correct the cycle slips is described as well. The algorithm utilizes additional position information provided by the INS, and applies a statistical technique known as the cumulative-sum (CUSUM) test that is very sensitive to abrupt changes of mean values. Results of simulation studies and field tests indicate that the algorithms are performed pretty well, so that the accuracy and performance of the integrated system can be maintained, even if cycle slips exist in the raw GPS measurements.

When the signals from satellite vehicles are blocked, it is impossible to provide positioning information. Integrating CDGPS with INS, the performances of output can be greatly improved. In the CDGPS/INS integrated system, the error growth in INS can be efficiently suppressed due to CDGPS. On the contrary, the search range of integer ambiguities can be reduced with the aids of INS. Furthermore, cycle slips in carrier phase measurements can be easily detected using INS. The paper presents a CDGPS/INS integrated system that utilizes CDGPS aided with INS. Using the outputs of CDGPS/INS integration filter, a method to reduce search range of integer ambiguities is proposed. A method to detect cycle slips in carrier phase measurements is ...

In the GPS/DR integrated system, the GPS position(or velocity) is used to compensate the DR output and to calibrate errors in the DR sensor. This synergistic relationship ensures that the calibrated DR accuracy can be maintained even when the GPS signal is blocked. Because of the observability problem, however, the DR sensors are not sufficiently calibrated when the vehicle speed is low. This problem can be solved if we use a multi-antenna GPS receiver for attitude determination instead of conventional one. This paper designs a two-antenna GPS receiver integrated with DR sensors. The proposed integration system has three remarkable features. First, the DR sensor can be calibrated regardless of the vehicle speed with the aid of two-antenna GPS receiver. Secondly, the search space of integer ambiguities in GPS carrier-phase measurements is reduced to a part of the surface of the sphere using DR heading. Thirdly, the detection resolution of cycle-slips in GPS carrier-phase measurements is improved with the aid of DR heading. From the experimental result, it is shown that the search grace is drastically reduced to about 3120 of the non-aided case and the cycle-slips of 1 or half cycle can be detected.

A series of numerical experiments with measurements observed at continuously operating reference stations (CORS) of the international GNSS services (IGS) and the national geographical information institute of Korea (NGII) have been intensively carried out to evaluate the quality of pseudo-ranges and carrier-phases of GPS L2C signal obtained by various receiver types, benign and harsh operational environment. In this analysis, some quality measures, such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the magnitude of multipath, and the number of cycle slips, the pseudo-range and carrier phase obtaining rate were computed and compared. The SNR analysis revealed an impressive result that the trend in the SNR of C/A and the L2C comparably depends upon type of receivers. The result of multipath analysis also showed clearly different tendency depending on the receiver types. The reason for this inconsistent tendency was seemed to be that the different multipath mitigation algorithm built-in each receiver. The number of L2C cycle slip was less than P2(Y), and L2C measurements obtaining rate was higher than that of P2(Y) in three receiver types. In the harsh observational environment, L2C quality was not only superior to P2(Y) in all aspects such as SNR, multipath magnitude, the number of cycle slips, and measurement obtaining rate, but also it could maintain a level of quality equivalent to C/A. According to the results of this analysis, it's expected that improved positioning performance like accuracy and continuity can be got through the use of L2C instead of existing P2(Y).

AFM은 반송파 위상을 이용하는 GPS 정밀측위에서 일반적으로 문제가 되는 초기미지정수와 cycle-slip에 영향을 받지 않는 기법이다. 그러나 기존의 AFM알고리즘에는 두 가지의 어려움이 있다. 첫째, 최적의 수신기 위치를 구하기 위한 계산시간이 너무 길다는 점이다. 둘째, 검색공간 내에 최적의 수신기 위치로 선정이 가능한 후보가 많을 수 있다는 점이다. 따라서 기존의 AFM 알고리즘이 갖는 단점을 개선하여 OTF의 환경에 적용할 수 있도록 계산시간을 획기적으로 단축시키는 새로운 알고리즘이 본 논문에서 제시되었다. 또한 결정된 최적의 수신기 위치의 진위 여부를 통계적으로 검정하는 알고리즘이 제시되었다.

The Global Positioning System(GPS) and the Strapdown Inertial Navigation System(SDINS) techniques have been widely utilized in many applications. However each system has its own weak point when used in a stand-alone mode. SDINS suffers from fast error accumulation dependent on an operating time while GPS has problem of cycle slips and just provides low update rate. The best solution is to integrate the GPS and SDINS system and its integration allows compensation for each shortcomings. This paper, first, is to define and derive error equations of integrated SDINS/GPS system before it will be applied on a real hardware system with gyro, accelerometer and GPS receiver. Second, the accuracy, availability and performance of this mechanization are verified on the simulation study.

한 지점의 위치에 대한 정확도는 위성의 위치와 몇 가지 요인으로 인하여 발생하는 신호의 지연 등에 주로 의존하게 된다. 이러한 지연의 효과가 3차원 위치 오차에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 GPS 오차를 포함하는 GPS 관측 파일(RINEX)을 시뮬레이션 하고, 시뮬레이션된 관측 파일을 기선 처리하여 그 효과를 분석하였다. Bernese ver5.0을 이용하여 전리층 지연, 대류권 모델, DOP, 랜덤 오차 등 과 같은 GPS 오차를 시뮬레이션에 적용하였다. 실험결과 기선이 짧다면 무전리층 조합으로 인하여 전리층 지연 효과를 제거할 수 있기 때문에 TEC에 의한 위치오차는 그리 크지는 않았다. 그러나 기선이 길어진다면 3차원 위치오차는 최대 10cm까지 나타났다. 싸이클 슬립은 싸이클 슬립이 증가함에 따라 점차적으로3차원 위치오차가 변화되기 보다는 싸이클 슬립이 60%를 넘었을 때 좌표에 미치는 영향이 커짐을 알 수 있다. 이는 시뮬레이션된 싸이클 슬립이 위성에 골고루 분배되었기 때문에 싸이클 슬립에 의한 영향은 크지 않았으나 60%를 넘을 경우 그 오차는 급격히 증가하였다. 또한 DOP이 3보다 작은 경우, 2시간 선별하여 계산된 3차원 위치오차는 $3{\sim}4cm$ 정도 향상되었다.
