General Purpose Kinematic/Static GPS/GLONASS Postprocessing Engine

Lev Rapoport

Abstract:	The paper deals with the problem of precise carrier phase differential static and kinematic positioning based on the GPS and GLONASS measurements collected from the GG24 Ashtech single frequency, combined GPS and GLONASS receiver, the Z12 Ashtech dual frequency GPS receiver, and a prototype of a dual frequency combined receiver as well. A unified approach for solving positioning problems in both static and kinematic settings is presented. Both of these problems are handled by the same numerical scheme and the same software. The general purpose postprocessing engine has been developed on the base of this idea. So, it is sufficient to have at hand only one engine to cover various processing tasks: static, kinematic, pseudo-kinematic, and mixed static-kinematic. The paper is organized the following way. The numerical method is discussed at first. Then the implementation is briefly described. Then there are included numerical results for static, kinematic, and mixed measurements. Mathematical details are given in an Appendix.
