In this paper, the pseudorange multipath is extracted by using the geometry-free and ionosphere-free combination of one pseudorange and two phase measurements, and the phase multipath is extracted by using triple frequency phase measurements, respectively. By using several days’ static observation data, we exact the noisy pseudorange and phase multipath of three types of satellites, GEO, IGSO and MEO satellites. Because of the low frequency characteristics of the multipath, the low frequency wavelet filter is further used to recover the high-precision low frequency multipath signals that are specified by their amplitudes, periods and phases. The results show that the multipath periods are about 86160s, 86158s and 46391s for GEO, IGSO and MEO satellites, respectively, which coincide with that of the corresponding satellite orbits. Then we use the extracted multipath signals to correct the pseudorange measurements in order to improve the accuracy of point positioning. The positioning accuracy in East-West direction can be significantly improved by using the multipath corrected pseudorange measurements, and in the other two directions the positioning accuracy can also be improved to some extent.展开更多

In addition, the spaceborne receivers＇ observations are simulated by the BeiDou satellites broadcast ephemeris and LEO satellites orbits. The precise orbit determination（POD） results show that the along-track component accuracy is much better over the service area than the non-service area, while the accuracy of the other two directions keeps at the same level over different areas. However, the 3-dimensional（3D） accuracy over the two areas shows almost no difference. Only taking into consideration the observation noise and navigation satellite ephemeris errors, the 3D accuracy of the POD is about30 cm. As for the precise relative orbit determination（PROD）, the 3D accuracy is much better over the eastern hemisphere than that of the western hemisphere. The baseline length accuracy is 3.4 mm over the service area, and it is still better than 1 cm over the non-service area. This paper demonstrates that the BeiDou regional constellation could provide global service to LEO satellites for the POD and the PROD. Finally, the benefit of geostationary earth orbit（GEO） satellites is illustrated for POD.展开更多
