This study examined the impact of trivial baselines obtained from GNSS single-baseline processing into a network adjustment in terms of accuracy and estimated coordinates sets. To this end, depending on the inclusion of the dependent baselines, three different types of experimental GNSS networks were composed and adjusted. The results showed that the networks including the trivial baselines are generally overestimated, but differences in the derived coordinates are limited at the millimeter level. A comparison of the adjusted coordinates with those published by the national geodetic agency showed that results of the network consisting of only the independent baselines are more constant than those of the networks with trivial baselines. Finally, a trivial baseline should be excluded from the GNSS network adjustment with a consideration of the realistic accuracy presentation and data processing burden.
