Estimation of inter-frequency bias for ambiguity resolution in global navigation satellite system receivers

摘要

Example methods disclosed herein include accessing carrier phase measurements and code measurements obtained for a plurality of satellite signals of a global navigation satellite system. Disclosed example methods also include determining an initial set of floating-point ambiguities based on the measurements, the initial set of floating-point ambiguities including inter-frequency bias (IFB). Disclosed example methods further include performing a least squares search process based on the initial set of floating-point ambiguities to determine a set of integer ambiguities and an estimate of the IFB. In some examples, an additional (e.g., wide-lane) filter is used to realize a combination of carrier phase and code IFB. In some examples, IFB estimation is further realized by determining a median of IFB estimates over a window time. In some examples, the resulting IFB estimate and the set of integer ambiguities are used to estimate a position of a receiver, determine a satellite correction signal, etc.
