The differences between these online PPP calculation tools result in a different level of performance. Our study shows that for 24-hour or 6-hour observation time, the Canadian Spatial Reference System for PPP (CSRS-PPP), CenterPoint RTX Post-Processing (RTX), Magic/GNSS, Institut Geographique National-PPP (IGN-PPP) and RTKLIB tools have almost similar level of performance with International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) solutions considered as reference solution. Average deviations on the three components X, Y and Z for the different tools compared to ITRF solutions do not exceed 1 cm. However, the CSRS-PPP tool gives deviations of less than 5 mm. Calculations from the observations of 2 h and 1 h show that the RTX and CSRS-PPP tools keep deviations similar to those obtained with 24 h and 6 h, while RTKLIB and IGN-PPP give deviations exceeding 6 cm and sometimes failures of some calculations for IGN-PPP.展开更多
