Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of satellite navigation technology, and in particular to a method for calibrating the transmission delay of a downlink navigation signal from a low-orbit satellite. Background Art

[0002] Establishing a low-orbit satellite constellation and using low-orbit satellites to broadcast navigation signals to enhance the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and achieve low-orbit navigation enhancement is an effective way to overcome the inherent fragility and limitations of GNSS. As navigation satellites, low-orbit satellites broadcast navigation signals to the ground, with the advantages of high ground reception signal strength and fast geometric changes. They can complement the medium- and high-orbit GNSS constellations and play a significant role in enhancing the accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability of GNSS. They have become a hot topic in the current satellite navigation field. The basic principle of low-orbit satellites providing navigation services is to carry GNSS onboard receivers on low-orbit satellites, receive signals from medium- and high-orbit navigation satellites, and accurately determine orbits through the "one-step method" or "two-step method" to accurately calculate the orbit of each low-orbit satellite and the onboard receiver clock error relative to the satellite navigation system. The orbit and clock error of the low-orbit satellite itself will be compiled into a message and broadcast to users. However, due to various delays within the low-orbit satellite, there will inevitably be a systematic difference between the time when the low-orbit satellite broadcasts the downlink navigation signal and the satellite navigation system time, which is referred to as the low-orbit satellite downlink navigation signal transmission delay. If the low-orbit satellite downlink navigation signal transmission delay is unknown, users will not be able to use low-orbit satellites and GNSS navigation satellites for joint positioning. Therefore, accurate calibration of the downlink navigation signal transmission delay of each low-orbit satellite is a prerequisite for achieving high-precision low-orbit navigation enhancement services.

The orbit determination observation equation is:

[0066] Y=H(X,t)+ε

[0067] Where Y is the observation value of the LEO satellite onboard receiver at time t, H is the observation function of the LEO satellite onboard receiver at time t, X is the orbit parameter to be estimated including the LEO satellite orbit parameter, the LEO satellite onboard receiver clock error parameter, ambiguity parameter and atmospheric parameter, and ε is the observation error;

[0068] Step 15: Linearize the orbit determination observation equations at all epochs within one day, estimate the orbit determination parameters using the least squares batch processing method, and obtain the low-orbit satellite orbit parameters and the clock error sequence of the low-orbit satellite onboard receiver.

[0069] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the process of performing post-positioning of the observation data of n GPS satellites and the GPS data of the IGS analysis center using the ground monitoring station receiver in step 2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] Step 21, select any one ground monitoring station that can receive the downlink navigation signal of the low-orbit satellite, and obtain the pseudo-range observation data and carrier phase observation data of the ground monitoring station receiver on n GPS satellites. The observation time is the same as the time of post-orbit determination of the low-orbit satellite in step 1.

[0071] Step 22, obtaining GPS data from the IGS analysis center within the same day as step 21;

[0072] Step 23: Use pseudorange observation data and carrier phase observation data to form a dual-frequency pseudorange ionosphere-free combination and a dual-frequency carrier phase ionosphere-free combination, respectively. The obtained dual-frequency pseudorange ionosphere-free combination observation values ​​and dual-frequency carrier phase ionosphere-free combination observation values ​​are respectively:

[0073]

[0074] Among them, f 1 、f 2 are the frequencies of GPS satellites at L1 and L2, respectively. 1 , P 2 are the pseudo-range observation values ​​of GPS satellites at L1 and L2 frequencies, respectively. 1 , L 2 They are the carrier phase observation values ​​of GPS satellite at L1 and L2 frequencies respectively.

[0075] Step 24: Using GPS data as the time and space reference, dual-frequency pseudorange ionosphere-free combined observations and dual-frequency carrier phase ionosphere-free combined observations as observation quantities, and using the single-point positioning function model to perform post-point positioning on all visible GPS satellites in the same observation epoch, and obtain the coordinates and clock difference sequence of the ground monitoring station receiver. The single-point positioning function model is:

[0076] y=Gx

[0077] Among them, y is the residual of pseudorange and carrier phase observation, G is the design matrix formed according to the GPS satellite position, the approximate coordinates of the ground monitoring station receiver, and the tropospheric wet delay mapping function, and x is the parameter to be estimated including the coordinates and clock error of the ground monitoring station receiver, the tropospheric delay parameters, and the ambiguity parameters.

[0078] The above-mentioned GPS data includes GPS satellite orbit data and GPS satellite clock error data.

[0079] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, the process of calculating the user equivalent distance error of the ground monitoring station to the low-orbit satellite in the above step 3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0080] Step 31, during the visible time of the ground monitoring station to the low-orbit satellite in the same time period as step 1 and step 2, obtaining pseudo-range observation data of the ground monitoring station receiver to the low-orbit satellite;

[0081] Step 32: Use pseudorange observation data to form a dual-frequency pseudorange ionosphere-free combination, and obtain the dual-frequency pseudorange ionosphere-free combination observation value as follows:

[0082]

[0083] Among them, f 1 、f 2 are the frequencies of GPS satellites at L1 and L2, respectively. 1 , P 2 are the pseudorange observation values ​​of GPS satellites at L1 and L2 frequencies respectively;

[0084] Step 33: Use the orbital parameters of the low-orbit satellite and the coordinates of the ground monitoring station receiver to obtain the geometric distance between the low-orbit satellite and the ground monitoring station receiver. According to the geometric distance, the clock error of the low-orbit satellite onboard receiver, the clock error of the ground monitoring station receiver and the system error, calculate the user equivalent distance error of the ground monitoring station for each observation epoch within the visible time of the low-orbit satellite to obtain the user equivalent distance error sequence.

[0085] Among them, the user equivalent distance error of the ground monitoring station in step 33 for each observation epoch within the visible time of the low-orbit satellite is:

[0086]

[0087] Where P(t) is the dual-frequency ionospheric-free combined pseudorange observation value of the ground monitoring station receiver to the low-orbit satellite at epoch time t, t light The transmission of downlink navigation signals from low-orbit satellites takes time. is the low-orbit satellite position at the time of signal transmission obtained by interpolation of the low-orbit satellite orbital parameters in step 1, is the receiver coordinates of the ground monitoring station in step 2, δClk LEO is the low-orbit satellite receiver clock error at the time of signal transmission obtained by interpolation of the low-orbit satellite receiver clock error sequence in step 1, δClk REC is the ground monitoring station receiver clock error at epoch time t calculated in step 2, δErr sys is the systematic error including tropospheric delay, antenna phase center deviation and solid tide influence calculated by the model. UERE(t) is the user equivalent range error of the ground monitoring station to the low-orbit satellite at epoch time t.

[0088] The average value of the user equivalent distance error sequence of all epochs in the visible time of the ground monitoring station to the low-orbit satellite in step 4 above is:

[0089]

[0090] Among them, UERE(t i ) is the observation epoch t i The user equivalent distance error of the ground monitoring station to the low-orbit satellite at the moment, k is the total number of observation epochs of the ground monitoring station to the low-orbit satellite during the visible period of the low-orbit satellite. The average value is the calibration value of the transmission delay of the low-orbit satellite downlink navigation signal.

[0091] The transmission delay of the low-orbit satellite downlink navigation signal calculated in this embodiment actually also includes the reception delay of the ground monitoring station receiver for the low-orbit satellite downlink navigation signal. However, when the user uses the low-orbit satellite and the GPS satellite for joint positioning, an additional system difference parameter between the low-orbit satellite and the GPS satellite will be estimated. This system difference parameter will absorb the reception delay of the ground monitoring station receiver for the low-orbit satellite downlink navigation signal. Therefore, the reception delay of the ground monitoring station receiver for the low-orbit satellite downlink navigation signal included in the transmission delay of the low-orbit satellite downlink navigation signal will not affect the low-orbit navigation enhancement service.

[0092] The serial numbers of the above-mentioned steps involved in the method of the present invention do not mean the order of execution of the method. The execution order of each step should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the implementation mode of the present invention.
