Abstract.

Since its introduction in 1993, the LAMBDA method has found widespread use across the world. The method has been employed in many geodetic and navigation applications, with lots of satisfied users. Independent tests show that it is considered the best method for integer carrier phase ambiguity resolution available. But every now and then we still notice some misunderstandings concerning the principles and potential of the method. In this contribution we will briefly summarize the principles underlying the LAMBDA method, go into some of the frequently asked questions on the LAMBDA method and try to clarify some of the existing misunderstandings.
