Abstract: In allusion to the phenomenon that the multipath value of BeiDou MEO satellite of its regional system varies with the elevation angle of observation station, we designed an in orbit experiment using test satellite of BeiDou global system on the basis of theoretical analysis and ground test. During the in orbit test, we adjusted the attitude of the satellite repeatedly to simulate the different elevation angles of ground station, used narrow beam of large aperture receiving antenna on the ground to suppressed the multipath effect of ground environment, and reduced influence of ionospheric and other space environment by fast attitude adjustment. We implemented in orbit test according to the design and the result is that the influence of the multipath of the new generation test satellite of BeiDou global system on received data of users is less than 0.1 m, which is equivalent to the GPS satellites, and has a great improvement over the MEO satellite of BeiDou regional system.
