Performance analysis of the tight combination of GPS, BDS, GALILEO, and QzsS mixed frequencies signals

With the gradual development and modernization of satellite navigation systems,using observation information from multi-GNss has become one of the hot-spot issues in recent years.Multi-system loose combinations form double-difference observation equations within their respective systems,and the positioning effect is improved.However,the interchangeability and compatible interoperability between global navigation satellite systems(GNSS)cannot be truly realized.At the same time,when the number of visible satellites decreases abruptly,the positioning performance deteriorates sharply.This paper focuses on the GNsS multi-system tight combination relative positioning technique,gives a mathe-matical model of multi-system tight combination relative positioning considering differential inter-system bias(DISB),and analyzes the time-varying characteristics of DISB at overlapping and non-overlapping frequencies among GPS/Galileo,GPS/BDS,and GPS/QZSS in terms of receiver brand,tem-perature,and receiver restart.The GNsS tight combination relative positioning performance is verified by static data from Curtin University and dynamic data measured at Taiyuan University of Technology.The results show that compared with loose combination,the ambiguity-fixed rate increases from 62.18%to 97.60%for static data and from 74.97%to 99.53%for dynamic data when the elevation mask angle is 50°,resulting in a significant improvement in positioning performance.

Generation of 160 nm vacuum ultraviolet light at 82 MHz in a KBBF crystal by the fifth-harmonic of a Ti:sapphire laser

We report the generation of quasi-cw vacuum ultraviolet(VUV)light at 160 nm with a repetition rate of 82 MHz by two second-harmonic generations and one sum frequency mixing.The VUV laser light is produced as a fifth-harmonic generation of a mode-locked ps Ti:sapphire laser system by successive stages with nonlinear crystals of LBO and KBBF.A stable generation of laser light at 200 nm for more than 6 h is the most important step for obtaining the generation of light at a wavelength of 160 nm.
