Strategies & Models

Estimator

All the Multi-GNSS observations are processed together in one common least square estimator

Observations

Raw carrier phase and pseudorange observations; BeiDou + Galileo + GLONASS + GPS, 74 satellites in orbits

Signal selection

GPS: L1/L2; GLONASS: L1/L2; BeiDou: B1/B2; Galileo: E1/E5a

Sampling rate

30 s

Elevation cutoff

7°

Phase-windup effect

Corrected

Station displacement

Solid Earth tide, pole tide, ocean tide loading IERS Convention 2003

Satellite antenna phase center

Corrected using MGEX and IGS values

Station coordinates

Estimated in both static and kinematic modes

Phase ambiguities

Estimated as constant for each arc

Tropospheric delay

Initial model + random-walk process

Ionospheric delay

Estimated as parameters with constraints of equation (12)

Receiver clock

Estimated, white noise

ISB and IFB

Estimated as constant, GPS as reference
