Network and Receivers MGEX Network (>00 stations) tracking GP, GLO, GAL, (QZ), BD Challenge with modernized signals (GP LCL5, Galileo EE5a): Different receivers use different tracking modes Example: GP L5 pilot-only tracking or combined pilotdata tracking ampling period minute lide 6
Processing cheme elect signal pair (, ) Determine satellitereceiver DCB satrcv from daily mean of ionospherecorrected code difference Determine individual DCBs for each satellite and station from combined DCBs for all sites and satellites assuming DCB satrcv = DCB sat DCB rcv applying a zero-constellation-mean constraint Notes: et of contributing stations depends on selected signals Current implementation (IONDCB) enables processing of all constellations and dual-signal combinations but no combined adjustment of > signals (such as CC, CW, CW) lide 7
Example (Galileo E-E5 O/) Note: Daily DCB time series has been aligned across constellation changes and readjusted to global zero mean across reporting time period for plot purposes and trend analyses. lide 8 DLR/GOC > 05//06
Issues Differences between IG and MGEX DCBs for GP/GLO Impact of different networks (receiver types) Need to understand impact of Q and X tracking on DCBs (and possibly BOC/MBOC) Misclosure of redundant biases DCB(a-b)DCB(b-c) DCB(a-c) Needs DCB adjustment across all signal pairs Restrict DCBs to non-redundant basic DCB set No DCBs for QZ (only one satellite) Timing community deprecates zero-mean condition; prefers DCBs w.r.t. to golden receiver lide 9 DLR/GOC > 05//06
