Integrity Monitoring of IGEX-98 Data, Part II: Cycle Slip and Outlier Detection

Abstract

At the Delft University of Technology (DUT), the data of six stations participating in the first international GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System, the Russian counterpart of GPS) tracking campaign, IGEX-98, were analyzed with integrity monitoring software. The software was developed at the Department of Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning of DUT. The main function of this software is to detect slips and outliers in phase and code observations in real time. In addition, the software also allowe the validation of the information contained in the broadcast navigation messages.

The results of the IGEX-98 data analyses will be presented in a three-part series. In this second part of the series, GLONASS outlier and slip statistics will be discussed in detail. The first part was concerned with the availability of GLONASS observations, while in the third one the broadcast navigation message validation results will be considered. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
