Effect of Stochastic Modeling for Inter-Frequency Biases of Receiver on BDS-3 Five-Frequency Undifferenced and Uncombined Precise Point Positioning

The third generation of the Beidou navigation satellite system (BDS-3) broadcasts navigation signals of five frequencies. Focusing on the deep integration of five-frequency signals, we applied the joint BDS-3 five-frequency undifferenced and uncombined precise point positioning (UC-PPP) to analyze t...

description The third generation of the Beidou navigation satellite system (BDS-3) broadcasts navigation signals of five frequencies. Focusing on the deep integration of five-frequency signals, we applied the joint BDS-3 five-frequency undifferenced and uncombined precise point positioning (UC-PPP) to analyze the receiver inter-frequency biases (IFB). Firstly, 12 Multi-GNSS Experiment tracking (MGEX) stations are selected to investigate the time-varying characteristics of receiver IFB and, according to random characteristics, three random modeling schemes are proposed. Secondly, the effects of three stochastic modeling methods on zenith tropospheric delay, ionospheric delay, floating ambiguity, and quality control are analyzed. Finally, the effects of three IFB stochastic modeling methods on positioning performance are evaluated. The results showed that the amplitude in the IFB for B2b is 5.139 m, B2a is 1.964 m, and B1C is 0.950 m by measuring one week’s observation data. The IFB stochastic modeling method based on random walks can shorten the PPP convergence time by 4~12%, diminish the false alarm of quality control, and improve the positioning accuracy. The random walk model is recommended to simulate the variation of IFB, which can not only overcome the disadvantage of the time constant model being unable to accurately describe the time-varying characteristics of the IFB, but also avoid reducing the strength of the kinematic PPP positioning model due to the large process noise of the white noise model.
