Abstract

The article experimentally proves the importance of applying Differential Code Biases (DCB) when determining coordinates by Precise Point Positioning (PPP) based on multi-GNSS measurements (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo). The application of DCB significantly reduces the convergence time of the navigation solution. Modifications to RTKLIB software required for the experiment are described, which allow applying the DCB in real time.
