Integer Ambiguity Estimation with the Lambda Method

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: International Association of Geodesy Symposia ((IAG SYMPOSIA,volume 115))

Abstract

High precision relative GPS positioning is based on the very precise carrier phase measurements. In order to achieve high precision results within a short observation time span, the integer nature of the GPS double difference ambiguities has to be exploited. In this contribution we concentrate on the integer ambiguity estimation, which is one of the steps in the procedure for parameter estimation, see section 2 in [2].
