Abstract.
In this contribution closed-form expressions are given for the minimal detectable biases of single- and dual-frequency pseudo-range and carrier-phase data. They are given for three different single-baseline models. These are the geometry-free model and two variants of the geometry-based model, namely the roving and stationary variants. The baselines are considered to be sufficiently short such that orbital uncertainties in the fixed orbits and residual ionospheric and tropospheric delays can be assumed absent. The stochastic model used is one that permits cross-correlation and the use of different variances for individual GPS observables, including the possibility to weigh the observables in dependence on which satellite is tracked.
