Abstract

As the core component of time-frequency reference generation of satellite navigation system, atomic clock is the guarantee for high-precision navigation signal generation and reception. The integrity monitoring of atomic clocks is the basis for time reference generation and spatial high-precision measurement. This paper adopts the idea of Kalman filter prediction residuals for integrity monitoring, establishes an accurate Kalman filter model of the atomic clock, constructs the Kalman prediction residual vector, and performs two-level Kalman filtering to form a DualKalman filter to improve detection sensitivity. Using IGS data to analyze the calculation examples, the results show that the DualKalman filter integrity detection technology proposed in this paper has the characteristics of high-sensitivity detection and can be used as a GNSS ground/satellite clock integrity monitoring method.
