An error analysis of PPP (Precise Point Positioning) using IF (Ionosphere Free) combination is given in this paper. It is shown that the performance of the ordinary model with positions, clock bias, integer ambiguities and ionosphere delay as unknowns is equivalent to that of an ionosphere difference combination where ionosphere delay is cancelled out. Furthermore, it is shown that IF combination is an ionosphere difference combination but not unique. It is also proved that all difference models show same performances. The error analysis evaluated with a hardware simulator and real measurements show that the ionosphere delay is effectively eliminated by IF combination or equivalently by the ionosphere difference combination. However, if bias errors such as troposphere, clock bias or multipath are included in the measurements, the performance of the IF combination is degraded because the bias errors are amplified by the ionosphere difference operation.

In order to ensure the high-integrity of reference stations of satellite navigation system, cycle slip should be precisely monitored and compensated. In this paper, we proposed a cycle slip algorithm for the integrity monitoring of the reference stations. Unlike the legacy method using the Melbourne-Wübbena (MW) combination and ionosphere combination, the proposed algorithm is based on ionosphere combination only, which uses high precision carrier phase observations without pseudorange observations. Two independent and complementary ionosphere combinations, Ionospheric Negative (IN) and Ionospheric Positive (IP), were adopted to avoid insensitive cycle slip pairs. In addition, a second-order time difference was applied to the IN and IP combinations to minimize the influence of ionospheric and tropospheric delay even under severe atmosphere conditions. Then, the cycle slip was detected by the thresholds determined based on error propagation rules, and the cycle slip was identified through weighted least square method. The performance of the proposed cycle slip algorithm was validated with the 1 Hz dual-frequency carrier phase data collected under the difference levels of ionospheric activities. For this experiment, 15 insensitive cycle slip pairs were intentionally inserted into the raw carrier phase observations, which is difficult to be detected with the traditional cycle slip approach. The results indicate that the proposed approach can successfully detect and compensate all of the inserted cycle slip pairs regardless of ionospheric activity. As a consequence, the proposed cycle slip algorithm is confirmed to be suitable for the reference station where real time high-integrity monitoring is crucial.

Several experiments were carried out to analyze the impact of the modernized Global Positioning System (GPS) L2C signal on pseudorange-based point positioning. Three dual-frequency positioning algorithms, ionosphere-free linear combination, ionospheric error estimation, and simple integration, were used, and the results were compared with those of Standard Point Positioning (SPP). An analysis was conducted to determine the characteristics of each dual-frequency positioning method, the impact of the magnitude of ionospheric error, and receiver grade. Ionosphere-free and ionospheric error estimation methods can provide improved positioning accuracy relative to SPP because they are able to significantly reduce the ionospheric error. However, this result was possible only when the ionospheric error reduction effect was greater than the disadvantage of these dual-frequency positioning algorithms such as the increment of multipath and noise, impact of uncertainty of unknown parameter estimation. The RMSE of the simple integration algorithm was larger than that of SPP, because of the remaining ionospheric error. Even though the receiver grade was different, similar results were observed.

There are many error sources in GPS signal propagation because the signals do not propagate in vacuum. The GPS observations should be preprocessed before they are used for positioning. The cycle slip and outlier detection algorithms are tested in this study in RINEX level using various linear combinations of the observables. The elbourne-Wubbena (M-W) linear combination has an advantage of long wavelength with low noise, and the geometry-free and ionosphere-free linear combinations are used as well to clean the measurements.

규모가 큰 지진에 의해 발생한 에너지는 전리층까지 도달하여 교란을 발생시킨다. GNSS (global navigation satellite system) 위성의 신호의 전리층 지연을 분석하면 해당 교란을 검출할 수 있다. 지진에 의한 교란 검출에는 주로 band-pass filter가 사용되는데, 교란의 주파수에 맞는 주파수 대역 설정이 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에선 GNSS 신호를 통해 지진에 의한 전리층 교란의 주파수를 분석하였다. 전리층 교란의 주파수 분석은 반송파의 geometry free combination으로 산출한 전리층 지연을 1 mHz high-pass filter로 처리한 후, fast Fourier transform을 통해 수행했다. 교란의 주파수 분석결과 초기 교란의 주파수는 4.5 mHz~11 mHz의 범위를 가지며, 5.7 mHz가 대표 주파수이다. 후속 교란의 경우 6 mHz~10 mHz의 주파수 대역을 가지며, 7.3 mHz가 대표 주파수로 관찰되었다.

정밀단독측위(PPP)의 정확도에 영향을 주는 주요변수는 위성궤도력의 정확도, 위성시계오차, 관측자 환경에 종속된 오차(전리층 및 대기층 지연, multipath, tides 등) 및 이들과 관련한 모호정수의 해석 문제 등이다. 따라서 정밀단독측위의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해서는 여러 주파수의 GNSS 관측 자료에 정밀한 위성궤도 및 시계 보정정보와 관측자에 종속된 보정정보를 적용하여 전리층지연 및 모호정수를 실시간 해석해야 한다. 현재, 지역 및 광역 실시간 GNSS 관측망으로 부터 정밀 보정정보를 제공하는 여러 해석센터가 있다. 본 연구는 지역 또는 광역 GNSS 관측망의 해석센터들로부터 산출된 RTCM 보정정보를 NTRIP으로 수신하여 실시간으로 검사점에 개별 및 조합 적용하고 표준단독측위(SPP) 및 다양한 보정정보의 적용에 따른 정밀단독측위의 정확도를 시간대별로 비교 분석하여 GNSS위성에 의한 실시간 절대측위의 정확도를 검토하였다.
