| description | High-precision and low-cost single-frequency precise point positioning (SF-PPP) has been attracting more and more attention in numerous global navigation satellite system (GNSS) applications. To provide the precise ionosphere delay and improve the positioning accuracy of the SF-PPP, the dual-frequency receiver, which receives dual-frequency observations, is used. Based on the serviced precise ionosphere delay, which is generated from the dual-frequency observations, the high-precision SF-PPP is realized. To further improve the accuracy of the SF-PPP and shorten its convergence time, the double-differenced (DD) ambiguity resolutions, which are generated from the DD algorithm, are introduced. This method avoids the estimation of fractional cycle bias (FCB) for the SF-PPP ambiguity. Here, we collected data from six stations of Shanghai China which was processed, and the corresponding results were analyzed. The results of the dual-frequency observations enhanced SF-PPP realize centimeter-level positioning. The difference between the results of two stations estimated with dual-frequency observations enhanced SF-PPP were compared with the relative positioning results computed with the DD algorithm. Experimental results showed that the relative positioning accuracy of the DD algorithm is slightly better than that of the dual-frequency observations enhanced SF-PPP. This could be explained by the effect of the float ambiguity resolutions on the positioning accuracy. The data was processed with the proposed method for the introduction of the DD ambiguity into SF-PPP and the results indicated that this method could improve the positioning accuracy and shorten the convergence time of the SF-PPP. The results could further improve the deformation monitoring ability of SF-PPP. |
