The attitude of a vehicle can be precisely determined using GPS carrier phase measurements from more than two antennas attached to a vehicle and an efficient integer ambiguity resolution technique. Many methods utilizing the known baseline length as a constraint of independent elements of integer ambiguities are proposed to resolve integer ambiguity at real time. Three-dimensional search space is reduced to two-dimensional search space with this constraint. Thus the true integer ambiguity can be easily determined with less computational burden and fewer number of measurements. But there are still strong requirements for the real time integer ambiguity resolution, which uses single epoch measurement of long baseline. In this paper, a new constraint from the geometry of multiple baselines is derived. With this new constraint, two-dimensional search space is further reduced to one-dimensional search space. It makes possible to determine integer ambiguity with single epoch measurement. The proposed method is applied to real data to show its effectiveness.

Conventional Real Time Kinematics (RTK) collect measurements in stationary state for several minutes to resolve the integer ambiguity in the carrier phase measurement or resolve the integer ambiguity on the move assuming low maneuvering movement. In this paper, an On The Move-RTK (OTM-RTK) technique that resolves the integer ambiguity on the move for fast and precise positioning of ground vehicles such as high maneuvering vehicles was proposed. The OTM-RTK estimates the precise amount of movement between epochs using the carrier phase measurements acquired on the move, and by using this, resolves the integer ambiguity within a short period of time by evaluating the integer ambiguity candidates for each epoch. This study analyzed the integer ambiguity resolution performance using field driving experiment data in order to verify the performance of the proposed method. The results of the experiment showed that the precise trajectory including the initial position bias can be obtained prior to resolving the integer ambiguity, and after resolving the integer ambiguity on the move, it was possible to obtain the bias-corrected precise position solution. It was confirmed that the integer ambiguity can be resolved by collecting measurements of about 10 epochs from the moving vehicle using a dual frequency receiver.

GNSS 반송파 위상 측정치를 사용하는 정밀 측위 혹은 자세결정에서 미지정수의 결정이 반드시 필요하며 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 그러나 한번 구해진 미지정수는 위성 추적상태가 변화하지 않으면 상수로 계속 사용할 수 있으므로 미지정수 검색과정을 통하지 않고 이미 구해진 미지정수를 사용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ARCE를 변형하여 한번 구해진 미지정수와 새로운 측정치를 이용하여 환경 변화에서도 미지정수를 재구성할 수 있는 미지정수 전파기법을 제안하였다. 초기 미지정수는 LAMBDA로 구하며 신뢰도 향상을 위하여 여러 epoch 동안 연속해서 비율검사를 통과한 미지정수를 사용한다. 한번 구해진 미지정수는 위성의 배치, 위성 신호의 단락 등의 변화에도 미지정수 검색기법을 통하지 않고 제안한 기법을 사용하여 계속 유지될 수 있다. 이로 인하여 미지정수 결정의 성공률이 향상되며 계산량이 감소되는 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 실제 측정치를 이용한 실험으로 제안한 방법은 효과적인 방법임을 확인하였다.

A real-time precise positioning is possible with GPS carrier phase measurements with efficient integer ambiguity resolution techniques. It is known that more reliable and fast integer ambiguity resolution is possi-ble as the number of measurements increases. Most precise positioning systems use dual frequency measurements and the wide-lnae technique to resolve integer ambiguity. The wide-lane technique magnifies the measurement noise while it reduces the number of candidates to be examined. In this paper a new integer ambiguity resolution method using dual frequency is proposed The proposed method utilizes the relationship between the wide-lane single frequency and the narrow-lane ambiguities to resolve narrow-lane integer ambiguity after fixing the wide-lane integer ambiguity. Experiments with real data show that the proposed method gives fast and reliable results.

GNSS를 이용한 정밀측위에서 미지정수 결정은 가장 중요한 과정이다. 정확한 미지정수를 추정하는 경우에는 수 mm에서 수 cm의 정밀한 측위결과를 가져오지만 부정확한 미지정수를 사용하는 경우에는 측위결과의 정확도와 정밀도를 보장할 수가 없다. 미지정수 결정은 IR(Integer Rounding), IB(Integer Bootstrapping), ILS(Integer Least Squares) 등의 기법을 기반으로 수행할 수 있다. 이중에서 ILS는 이론적, 실험적으로 가장 좋은 성능을 보여준다. 하지만 다른 기법들과 달리 ILS는 미지정수에 대한 후보를 검색하기 때문에 올바른 미지정수를 판단하기 위한 타당성 검정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 타당성 검정 기법간의 실험적인 비교 분석을 수행한다. 실험에는 타당성 검정 기법으로 자주 쓰이는 R-ratio, F-ratio, W-ratio가 사용되었다. 각 타당성 검정 기법의 성능을 정상동작, 검출, 미검출, 오검출로 나누어 평가하였다. 실험결과로 각 타당성 검정 기법의 장단점이 분명하게 나타났으며, 이를 통해 적용환경에 따라 기법이 선택되어야 함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, an efficient integer ambiguity resolution method for GNSS attitude determination system is described. The proposed method solves the integer least-squares with quadratic equality constraints(ILSQE) problem and shows an expansion of the LAMBDA method can be used to solve it. The solution of ILSQE is shown and an efficient implementation with a LAMBDA based method is given. The method is compared with some other methods. The results of static and dynamic tests show the dramatic improvement of the success rates of integer ambiguity resolution.

The quality of float solution deeply influences the performance of CDGPS because the theories being used in the integer ambiguity resolution method are derived under the assumption of AWGN. But in real world, the properties of noises are far from AWGN, especially when multipath are concerned. It results in the bias in float solution which affects the success rate of integer ambiguity and the precision of position in CDGPS. This paper designs an augmented Kalman filter using shaping filter and Kalman filter for the performance improvement of CDGPS on multipath. The experimental results with real measurements show that the correct integer ambiguity is always found while the success rates of WLSQ and ordinary Kalman filter are 5% and 18%, respectively. Eventually, the position accuracy is also improved by using the proposed algorithm.

With GPS carrier phase measurements from more than two antenna which attached to the vehicle, precise attitude can be easily obtained if the integer ambiguity included in carrier phase measurement is resolved. Recently some special products which use dual frequencies or has one receiver engine with multiple antenna are announced. But there are still strong requirements for the conventional single frequency off-the-shelf receiver. To meet these requirements, an efficient integer ambiguity resolution technique is indispensable. In this paper, a new technique to resolve integer imbiguity with single frequency receivers is proposed. The proposed method utilize the known baseline length as a constraint of independent elements of integer ambiguities. With this constraints, the size of search volume can be greatly reduced. Thus the true integer ambiguity can be easily determined with less computational burden and number of measurements. The proposed method is applied to real data to show its effectiveness.

The ambiguity resolution is an essential task for the precise carrier phase differential GPS. In practice, however, there are still many problems in resolving the ambiguity in kinematic mode, especially in the urban areas. The multipath in received signal, the frequent change in visible satellites, and the cyclic slips make the ambiguity resolution very difficult task in real-time operation. In this paper, we consider a differential positioning with the float ambiguity that is free from the integer constraint. The float ambiguity estimation if carried out by the Kalman filter. The float and fixed ambiguities are combined together to determine the position in real-time kinematic mode.

In this paper, the baseline-length information is directly modeled as a measurement for the Wald test, which speeds up the resolution convergence of the integer ambiguity of GPS carrier phase measurements. The convergent speed improvement is demonstrated using numerical simulation and real experiments. It is also shown that the integer ambiguities can be resolved using only four actual satellite measurements with very reasonable convergence speed, if the baseline-length information is used just like one additional observable satellite measurement. Finally, it is shown that the improvement of convergence speed of the Wald test is due to the increase of the probability ratio with the use of the baseline-length constraint.
