Abstract:	In this paper we present a carrier-phase-based Precise Point Positioning (PPP) with using multiple antennas based on Global navigation satellite system (Gnss) Regression models (abbreviated as GR models). The multiple antennas are disposed with solid geometrical distances and with the common receivers' clock errors. These conditions provide the constraints of estimation of each antenna position such that Very Precise Point Positions (VPPP) are obtained by the Maximum A Priori (MAP) estimation method as well as the Minimum Mean Square (MMS) estimation method by combining each antenna's position. Furthermore we show the estimation algorithm of the baseline vector between any two of the antenna’s positions, based on GR models and the Kalman filtering, such that we show the attitude estimation of the plane on which multiple antennas hold.
