报告摘要：
The next generation of low-cost, multi-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS receivers, boards, chips and antennas are now quickly entering the market. The presented work provides an investigation into the potential for mass-market, high-accuracy positioning. A set of experiments have been carried-out, collecting measurements from a number of low-cost, dual-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS boards, chips and antennas. In order to be comprehensive and realistic, these static and kinematic experiments were conducted in benign, typical, suburban and urban environments.
The Precise Point Positioning (PPP) GNSS measurement processing mode has been used for measurement processing. While real-time kinematic (RTK) and network RTK dominate urban and suburban markets, it was deemed of great scientific interest to assess the PPP performance with these hardware options with and without additional local augmentation corrections.
Analysis of the raw measurements illustrates a) some significant measurement gaps with some sensors, b) the lower signal availability and c) the weaker signal strength from the chip/antenna combinations as compared to geodetic quality instrumentation, d) high pseudorange multipath and noise, and e) some interesting measurement curiosities. Results for new smartphone sensors show positioning performance is typically at the few dm-level with limited convergence period – 1 to 2 orders of magnitude better than standard point positioning. The GNSS chips and boards combined with higher-quality antennas produce positioning performance approaching geodetic quality. And under ideal conditions, phase ambiguities are resolvable. However, there are a number of caveats to these performance assessments, as consistence of results is lower for all of these new sensors as compared to geodetic hardware.
These results are very promising for the use of PPP and RTK in next-generation GNSS sensors for smartphone, vehicle, Internet of things (IoT), etc. applications. Future work includes further tuning of the measurement processing, ambiguity resolution, and use of AI techniques for measurement filtering.
