In this paper, we propose a simple technique for the detection of a frequency jump in the GPS clock behavior. GPS satellite atomic clocks have characteristics of a second order polynomial in the long term and a non-periodic frequency drift in the short term, showing a sudden frequency jump occasionally. As satellite clock anomalies influence on GPS measurements, it requires to develop a real time technique for the detection of the clock anomaly on the real-time GPS precise point positioning. The proposed technique is based on Teager energy which is mainly used in the field of various signal processing for the detection of a specific signal or symptom. Therefore, we employed the Teager energy for the detection of the jump phenomenon of GPS satellite atomic clocks, and it showed that the proposed clock anomaly detection strategy outperforms a conventional detection methodology.

In this study, a real-time architecture for the detection of clock jumps in the GPS clock behavior is proposed. GPS satellite atomic clocks have characteristics of a second order polynomial in the long term showing sudden jumps occasionally. As satellite clock anomalies influence on GPS measurements which could deliver wrong position information to users as a result, it is required to develop a real time technique for the detection of the clock anomalies especially on the real-time GPS applications such as aviation. The proposed strategy is based on Teager Energy operator, which can be immediately detect any changes in the satellite clock bias estimated from GPS carrier phase measurements. The verification results under numerous cases in the presence of clock jumps are demonstrated.
