Alternative Modeling of GPS Carrier Phases for Geodetic Network Analysis

  • Conference paper

Summary

The observation equation for undifferenced GPS carrier beat phases is developed. The unknowns are divided into the desired cartesian ground station and satellite point coordinate parameters and different types of disturbing bias parameters. The classical Gauß-Markov Model and the Mixed Model which employs stochastic prior information are used as alternative mathematical models for parameter estimation and prediction, respectively. The applicability for static analysis of geodetic network is demonstrated in a six station local area network in the city of Berlin. Additionally, the concept of kinematic GPS relative positioning is described.
