It is estimated that over 75% of all GNSS receivers used globally are single frequency receivers and users experience positioning error due to the ionosphere. To enable GNSS Single Frequency Precise Point Positioning (SFPPP), accurate a-prior information about the ionosphere is needed. The variation of the ionosphere is larger around the magnetic equator and therefore depends on latitude. It will be expected that SFPPP works better on latitude further from the magnetic equator. This present study aims to investigate the accuracy of some ionospheric error mitigation approaches used in single frequency precise point positioning (SFPPP) at several GNSS station in the new Nigerian GNSS Network (NIGNet) and two IGS sites in the low equatorial African region. This study covers two epochs of observation. The first consists of observation from three consecutive days (GPS week 1638;days 0, 1 and 2) that belongs to a period of low solar activities. The second epoch consists of observation from three consecutive days (GPS week 1647;days 2, 3 and 4) that belongs to a high solar activity and intense geomagnetic conditions. The estimated position for the GNSS stations from dual frequency measurement and their known ITRF solutions were used as a benchmark to assess the accuracy of SFPPP under four conditions i.e., SFPPP without ionospheric correction, SFPPP using final GIM models from the Centre for Orbit Determination in Europe( CODE), SFPPP with Klobuchar model, and SFPPP with a computed (local) model at each station. All computation was done using Leica Geo-office software. The result of the study clearly demonstrates the significance of removing or correcting for the effect of the ionosphere, which can result in up to 7 m displacement. It was recommended that GIMs from different organization should be investigated and also efforts should be towards improvement in algorithms and clock error modeling.展开更多

文摘单电感双输出(single-inductor dual-output,SIDO)开关变换器工作在共享充放时序下存在电感电流纹波大、输出支路间交叉影响严重以及电路参数宽范围变化下控制电路不能正常工作等问题.为此,提出一种独立充放时序电流型变频控制(current-mode variable frequency control,C-VF)技术.首先,具体描述变换器在连续导电模式(continuous conduction mode,CCM)下的工作原理,并推导主电路开环传递函数;进一步构建闭环小信号模型,推导闭环交叉阻抗,详细分析不同输出电压及负载电流下变换器的交叉影响特性;最后,通过仿真和实验进行验证.研究表明:相较于共享充放时序,独立充放时序C-VF CCM SIDO buck变换器减小了交叉影响,改善了负载瞬态响应性能;当两支路负载电压不等时,减轻某一支路负载可以降低该支路的交叉影响;当两支路输出电压相同但负载不同时,重载支路对轻载支路的交叉影响更小.
