Performance of 24h static Precise Point Positioning (PPP) solutions based on multi-GNSS precise satellite orbit and clock products from four analysis centers and seven various constellation combinations was studied to evaluate their quality and characteristics. Data from ten European and four Chinese GNSS stations and 152 days long period from year 2020 were processed. Obtained coordinates were firstly compared with those provided by IGS final weekly combined solution. In Europe, the best agreement with this reference product was reached by solutions including Galileo signals, namely by a combination of GPS+GLONASS+Galileo systems with a mean RMS of 11 mm. This situation was different in China where inclusion of Galileo always led to worse results and the best agreement was achieved by a combination of GPS+GLONASS systems. Although product provided by German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) could be selected as the best performing over Europe and product by Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) over China, differences between individual precise products were mostly at a minimal level. Secondly, coordinates repeatability over the processed period was computed in order to assess the positioning stability. In this regard, the lowest values in both horizontal and vertical direction were reached by GPS+GLONASS solutions. From the perspective of precise products, the repeatability results were dependent on the selected constellation where mainly a specific behavior of product from Wuhan University (WUM) for Galileo system was observed., Weiguo Li and Michal Kačmařík., and Obsahuje bibliografii
A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) software library called G-Nut has been devel oped at the Geodetic Observatory Pecný (GOP) since 2011. Several applications built of the library will be provided as an open source in 2013 and consequently users are able to modify source code and use it for processing their own data free of charge. The main purpose of the project is to create a programming package suitable for implementing various end-user a pplications such as kinematic position estimation, long-term permanent station coordinates monitoring, zenith tropospheric delay estimation, satellite clock estimation and others. The library is written in C++ programming language following the object-oriented concept. Basic class structure implementing inputs/outputs and product/d ata containers support both real-time and post-processing modes. Integration of all available global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS) as well as new tracking signals is properly handled. The configuration is governed through the XML format. The estimation model currently supports the least square adjustment, the Kalman and square root covariance filtering methods based on processing undifferenced data and fixed precise orbit and clock products. The estimated state vector includes receiver coordinates and clocks, troposphere zenith path delays and initial carrier phase ambiguities. The first applications based on G-Nut library are shown with examples for off-line/online kinematic/static precise point positioning and ultra-fast troposphere estimation., Pavel Václavovic, Jan Douša and Gabriel Györi., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
