GNSS-Precise Point Positioning (PPP) mittels ionosphären-freier Auswertung von Einfrequenz-Messungen

Sumaya, Hael 20 August 2019 (has links)
Die klassische Precise Point Positioning PPP-Lösung ermöglicht eine absolute Positionsbestimmung im Zentimeterbereich. Dazu sind kontinuierliche Code- und Phasenbeobachtungen auf zwei Frequenzen erforderlich. Die Bereitstellung dieser Beobachtungen verlangt hochwertige und teure Ausrüstungen. Im Gegensatz zu diesen teuren GNSS-Messgeräten werden seit längerer Zeit kostengünstige Geräte für die relative Positionsbestimmung mit Zentimetergenauigkeit, z. B. RTK verwendet. Diese Ausrüstungen stellen nur Beobachtungen auf der ersten Frequenz zur Verfügung und können damit die ionosphärischen Korrekturen mittels der ionosphären-freien Linearkombination der Phasenbeobachtungen nicht bestimmen. Die ionosphärischen Laufzeitverzögerungen können aber durch eine ionosphären-freie Linearkombination zwischen Code- und Phasenbeobachtungen beseitigt werden. Dieser Ansatz der ausschließlichen Nutzung der ersten Frequenz wird als Einfrequenz-PPP-Lösung bezeichnet. Aus ökonomischer Sicht ist diese Lösung von großer Bedeutung. Die schlechte Genauigkeit der Codebeobachtungen aufgrund der Codemehrwegeeffekte, des Messrauschens und der Codeverzögerungsvariationen group delay variations (GDV) ist der Hauptgrund für die geringe Positionsgenauigkeit der Einfrequenz-PPP-Lösung. Die GDV wurden in Bezug auf Zweifrequenzphasenbeobachtungen kalibriert und zu entsprechenden Modellen, die von der Frequenz, dem Nadir-Winkel und dem Elevationswinkel abhängig sind, zusammengefasst. Die zeitliche Stabilität der Korrekturmodelle wurde nachgewiesen, sodass diese Modelle ohne zeitliche Beschränkung zur Korrektur von GDV verwendet werden können. Bei der Verwendung von hochwertigen GNSS-Ausrüstungen zeigte die Einfrequenz-PPP-Lösung die geringste Genauigkeit in der Höhenkomponente, etwa 5-mal schlechter als in der Nordkomponente. Durch das Anbringen der Korrekturmodelle bezüglich der GDV an die Codebeobachtungen konnte diese Genauigkeit auf das Doppelte erhöht werden. Zusätzlich ist keine Abhängigkeit der Höhengenauigkeit vom Antennentyp mehr erkennbar. Bei der Auswertung von Daten preisgünstiger GNSS-Ausrüstungen mittels Einfrequenz-PPP-Lösung lagen die RMS-Werte der Abweichungen zur Solllösung für alle drei Koordinatenkomponenten unter einem Dezimeter. Das Anbringen der Code-Korrekturen steigert die Genauigkeit der Höhe und der Nordkomponente um einen Faktor von zwei bzw. vier. Mit diesen erreichbaren Genauigkeiten und den günstigen Beschaffungskosten bildet die Einfrequenz-PPP-Lösung eine gute und preiswerte Alternative zur klassischen PPP-Lösung.:Kurzfassung Abbildungsverzeichnis Tabellenverzeichnis Abkürzungsverzeichnis 1 Einleitung 13 1.1 Motivation 13 1.2 Aktueller Stand der Forschung 14 1.3 Zielsetzung und Gliederung der Arbeit 17 2 Grundlagen 21 2.1 GNSS 21 2.1.1 GPS 21 2.1.2 GLONASS 22 2.2 Referenz- und Koordinatensysteme 23 2.2.1 Internationales Terrestrisches Referenzsystem 24 2.2.2 Das World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) 25 2.2.3 Parametry Zemli (PZ-90.02) 25 2.3 Zeitsysteme 26 2.3.1 Sonnenzeit – UT – UT1 26 2.3.2 Atomzeit (TAI) und koordinierte Weltzeit (UTC) 27 2.3.3 Das GPS-Zeitsystem 28 2.3.4 Das GLONASS-Zeitsystem 29 2.4 Positionsbestimmung 29 2.4.1 Codebeobachtungen als primäre Messgröße 31 2.4.2 Phasenbeobachtungen als primäre Messgröße 32 2.5 Ausgleichungsrechnung und Statistik 34 2.5.1 Funktionales Modell 34 2.5.2 Stochastisches Modell 36 2.5.3 Parameterschätzung mit dem Gauß-Markov-Modell 37 2.5.4 Eliminierung von Unbekannten 39 2.5.5 Sequentielle Ausgleichung 41 2.5.6 Statistik 42 3 Precise Point Positioning mit einem Einfrequenz-Empfänger 43 3.1 Präzise Satellitenpositionen und -uhrkorrektionen 44 3.1.1 IGS 44 3.1.2 Präzise Satellitenkoordinaten 46 3.1.3 Präzise Satellitenuhrkorrektion 47 3.1.4 Satellitenantennenkorrektionen 48 3.1.5 Phase Wind-up 49 3.2 Atmosphärische Korrektionen 49 3.2.1 Troposphäre 50 3.2.2 Ionosphäre 52 3.3 Instrumentelle Verzögerungen 55 3.4 Korrektionen an der Station 56 3.4.1 Empfangsantennenkorrektionen 56 3.4.2 Erdgezeiten, Polbewegung und ozeanische Auflasten 57 3.4.3 Mehrwegeeffekte 57 3.5 Auswertung von GRAPHIC-Beobachtungen 58 3.5.1 Beobachtungsgleichungen 58 3.5.2 Funktionales Modell 61 3.5.3 Stochastisches Modell 62 3.5.4 Sequentielle Ausgleichung der statischen Beobachtungen 64 4 Modellierung von GDV 65 4.1 Motivation 65 4.2 Einführung 69 4.3 Methodik 70 4.3.1 Analyse der Code-Beobachtungen anhand der MP-Linearkombination 70 4.3.2 Trennung der Satellitenantennen-GDV von Empfangsantennen-GDV 72 4.3.3 Satelliten- und Empfangsantennenphasenkorrektionen 75 4.4 Bestimmung der GDV 79 4.4.1 GDV der GPS- und GLONASS-Satellitenantennen 79 4.4.2 GDV der Empfangsantennen 90 4.5 Zeitliche Stabilität der GDV 93 5 Untersuchungen zur Verwendung hochwertiger Empfangsantennen bei der Einfrequenz-PPP-Lösung 99 5.1 Wasoft 99 5.1.1 Warino 99 5.1.2 Wappp 100 5.2 Datensatz und Auswertekonfiguration 101 5.3 Untersuchung zur Genauigkeit der Solllösung 105 5.4 Positionsgenauigkeit in Abhängigkeit von der Empfangsantenne, der Frequenz, dem GNSS und den Auswirkungen der GDV 107 5.4.1 Erreichbare Genauigkeit ohne Korrektur der GDV 108 5.4.2 Auswirkung der GDV auf die Positionsgenauigkeit 113 6 Untersuchungen zur Genauigkeit der PPP-Lösung in Abhängigkeit von den Beschaffungskosten 119 6.1 Daten 120 6.1.1 Verwendete preisgünstige Empfänger und Empfangsantenne 120 6.1.2 Datensatz 1 121 6.1.3 Datensatz 2 122 6.2 Auswirkungen des verwendeten Empfängertyps auf die Positionsbestimmung 124 6.3 L1-Einfrequenz-PPP-Lösung mit preisgünstigen GNSS-Empfängern 127 6.3.1 Bestimmung der GDV der preisgünstigen Antenne TW3870 127 6.3.2 Erreichbare Positionsgenauigkeit 128 7 Schlussfolgerungen und Ausblick 133 Literaturverzeichnis 137 Anhang 147

Etude et développement de sources laser à fibre dopées Ytterbium émettant à des longueurs d'ondes exotiques pour des applications industrielles et médicales / Study and development of fiber lasers emitting at exotic wavelengths for industrial and medical applications

Dubrasquet, Romain 11 December 2014 (has links)
La technologie des lasers à gaz Argon et Hélium Cadmium ionisés est obsolète et leurs production est abandonnée. Etant donné le vaste champ des applications basées sur les longueurs d’onde (488 nm, 325 nm) générées par cette technologie, il apparait essentiel d’imaginer une solution alternative. Les travaux exposés dans ce manuscrit traitent de l’étude des solutions apportées par la conversion en fréquence des lasers à fibre dopées ytterbium fonctionnant sur leur transition 3 niveaux à 976 nm. Les conditions d’obtention d’un effet laser sur cette transition particulière où section efficace d’émission et d’absorption sont confondues sont tout d’abord explicitées. Ensuite, nous présentons le développement d’une source laser continue monofréquence à 976 nm permettant de générer plus de 35W en limite de diffraction (M²<1.1). Le doublement en fréquence de cette source fondamentale à 976 nm dans des cristaux à alternance de polarisation (PPsLT) conduit à générer plus de 4W à 488 nm (bleu) en simple passage avec un niveau de bruit d’intensité extrêmement bas (0,05%rms sur la gamme 100Hz – 10MHz).Puis, nous relatons la démonstration de plus de 760 mW à la longueur d’onde ultraviolette de 325,3 nm à partir d’une laser à fibre impulsionnel nanoseconde (5ns ; 100 kHz) triplé en fréquence dans deux étages de cristaux non linéaires (LBO 20mm type I puis type II) délivrant près de 7,6 W soit une énergie de 73μJ et une puissance crête de 14,3kW à la longueur d’onde fondamentale de 976 nm et une puissance de 2,8 W à 488 nm à la seconde harmonique. L’efficacité de conversion de l’IR vers l’UV est donc de 10%. Enfin, nous rapportons la génération de plus de 2 W à 325,3 nm en régime picoseconde (15ps ; 20MHz) par triplement en fréquence (cascade de deux LBO) d’un laser à fibre générant une puissance moyenne de 16 W à 976 nm soit une énergie de 0,8 μJ et une puissance crête de 52kW. Ce qui représente une efficacité de conversion de 12%. / Gas laser technology (Ar ion and HeCd lasers) is now largely obsolete, with new production rapidly disappearing. Given the vast application domain based around these wavelengths (488nm, 325 nm…), it seems extremely important to develop alternative solutions. The work presented in this thesis covers the study of relevant solutions via frequency conversion of Yb fiber lasers emitting on the three level transition at 976 nm. The necessary conditions for laser operation in this zone where absorption and emission peaks are superimposed are presented. Next, we present the development of a single mode, single frequency source at 976 nm giving a record 35W output power with diffraction limited performance (M2<1.1). Frequency doubling of the fundamental radiation in a PPSLT crystal allowed the generation of more than 4W of output at 488 nm in a single pass configuration with extremely low noise (0.05%RMS from 100Hz to 10MHz).Subsequently, 760 mW of output power was generated at 325 nm via frequency tripling of a multi-watt nanosecond source at 976 nm (5ns, 100 kHz). Type I and type II interactions in LBO were used in this case allowing us to demonstrate an overall conversion efficiency of 10% from IR to UV.Finally, we report on the generation of 2W of output power at 325 nm by frequency tripling of a 15 ps laser generating 16W at 976 nm, representing a pulse energy of 0.8μJ and a peak power of 52 kW (conversion efficiency of 12%).

Single Frequency Networks) regionais. Tal ambiente facilita a distribuição de canais, porém possui características que dificultam o trabalho do receptor. São tratados, inicialmente, de projetos de filtros canceladores de elos de realimentação em estações retransmissoras, que ocorrem quando a antena de transmissão interfere na antena de recepção. Um novo filtro, baseado em técnicas que utilizam informação temporal é proposto. Novas propostas são feitas para as partes de sincronismo, estimação e equalização de canal, e codificação/decodificação. Uma técnica, vinda da teoria de reconhecimento de padrões, é aplicada para diminuição da complexidade no processo de sincronismo temporal. Um sistema de estimação de canal 2D e equalização adaptativa, usando o LMS (Least Mean Square), é comparado com técnicas clássicas da literatura, e um ganho significativo é encontrado. Como novo esquema de codificação e decodificação é proposto um esquema iterativo, baseado em códigos turbo, com número reduzido de iterações. Tal código melhora o desempenho do sistema em relação ao uso combinado dos decodificadores Viterbi e Reed Solomon. Todas as propostas são combinadas para se avaliar o desempenho do receptor diante de condições típicas de SFN e multicaminhos típicos em recepção de TV do Brasil / Abstract: This thesis deals with the optimization of Digital TV receivers based on OFDM, with performance evaluation in regional single frequency networks (SFN). Such environment facilitates the channel distribution, however its characteristics degrade the receiver operation. Initially, projects of loop canceller filters in relay stations are treated, and they are necessary when the transmission antenna causes interference on reception antenna. A new filter, based on time information is proposed. New proposals are made for the synchronism, channel estimation and equalization, and coding/decoding. One technique, coming from the pattern recognition theory, is applied for complexity reduction in the process of time synchronism. A 2D channel estimation system and adaptive equalization, using LMS (Least Mean Square), is compared to classical techniques in the literature, and a significant gain is achieved. As a new coding and decoding scheme, an iterative system based on turbo codes is used with reduced number of iterations. Such code improves the system performance when compared to the Viterbi and Reed Solomon concatenated decoders. The proposals are combined and the performance of the proposed receiver is evaluated on typical conditions of SFN and on typical multipaths for TV reception in Brazil / Doutorado / Telecomunicações e Telemática / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica

Factors that impede the formation of basic scientific concepts during teacher training in Ghana

Sarfo, Solomon 02 1900 (has links)
The investigation aimed at identifying the factors that accounted for the teacher trainees’ low understanding of basic scientific concepts and the appropriate strategies needed to rectify these obstacles. In this investigation thirty open ended questions were administered to test three hundred teacher trainees’ understanding of science concepts. Also, observations were conducted during science lessons to monitor the participation of trainees. The teacher trainees’ poor background in science was identified. Inflexible teaching methods such as lecturing and provision of pointers to correct answers by teachers contributed. Teacher trainees lacked the necessary conceptual, logical and linguistic background, and the vocabulary to express themselves in English. Most science lessons did not consider media integration, but were conducted through verbal communication. Teacher trainees employed ineffective study techniques in learning science. Recommendations included reading assignments, laboratory work, media integration and the employment of effective study techniques in the teaching and learning of science. / Teacher Education / Thesis (M.

Lasers de frequência única de Nd:YIF e Nd:YVO4 na região do vermelho / Single frequency Nd:YLF and Nd:YVO4 laser in the red emission

Camargo, Fabíola de Almeida 15 July 2010 (has links)
Lasers de estado sólido sintonizáveis com uma estreita largura de linha de emissão na região do vermelho são uma alternativa conveniente aos lasers de corante para aplicações em espectroscopia de alta resolução. Nesse trabalho, foram investigados lasers contínuos de Nd:YLiF4 e Nd:YVO4 operando em frequência única na região de 1,32 - 1,34&mu;m, assim como a geração de segundo harmônico (GSH) desses lasers usando cristais de BiB3O6 (BiBO) e KTiOPO4 com inversão periódica de domínios (ppKTP), para a obtenção da emissão no vermelho (0,65 - 0,67&mu;m). Utilizando um laser de Nd:YVO4 operando em frequência única em uma configuração em anel com um cristal não linear BiBO do tipo I, demonstrou-se o recorde de 680mW no vermelho em 671,1nm, sem a utilizaçãde nenhum elemento seletivo. Uma intonia em todo o ganho (~4 nm) foi obtida atravésda inserção de um etalon com filme refletor (R = 40%) e com 100&mu;m de espessura, o que reduziu a potência de saída no vermelho para 380mW no comprimento de onda de maior ganho (671,15 nm). Em 1342nm foi demonstrada uma potência de saída de 1,5W em frequência única quando utilizado um espelho de saída com transmissão de 2%. Foi demonstrado ainda uma ótima eficiência de conversão de segundo harmônico em um laser em anel de Nd:YLF na polarização &pi; (&lambda; = 1321,5nm) quando usando um cristal de ppKTP. Este laser forneceu 1,4W em frequência única no vermelho em 660,5nm. Essa potência é a máxima que pode ser extraída desse laser no segundo harmônico e no fundamental quando utilizado um espelho com transmissão ótima. Utilizando um etalon com filme refletor (R = 25%), o laser pôde ser sintonizado em &Delta;&lambda; ~ 1,6nm. / All solid-state continuous-wave (cw) narrow emission linewidth and tunable red lasers are convenient alternative sources to bulky and expensive dye-lasers for highprecision laser spectroscopy. Single-frequency operation of diode-pumped Nd:YLiF4 and Nd:YVO4 cw ring lasers were investigated in the 1.32 - 1.34&mu;m range, together with their intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG) to the red spectral range (0.65 - 0.67&mu;m) using either BiB3O6 (BiBO) or periodically-poled KTiOPO4 (ppKTP) crystals. We report on such a single-end diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 unidirectional red ring laser containing a type-I cut BiBO nonlinear crystal, yielding a record of 680 mW of single-longitudinal mode (SLM) red output power at 671.1nm without any intra-cavity etalon. For smooth SLM wavelength tuning over the full gain bandwidth (4 nm), a partially-coated (R = 40%) 100m-thin etalon was found necessary, reducing the maximum SLM power (at 671.15 nm) to 380 mW. At 1342.5nm and with a T = 2% transmission output coupler, the laser provided an optimal 1.5W of single-frequency power. We demonstrate also optimal intracavity SHG of a Nd:YLF ring laser in the &pi; - polarization ( &lambda;= 1321.5nm) using a ppKTP. The laser yielded 1.4 W of singlefrequency red power at 660.5 nm, as much as the maximum fundamental power that can be extracted from the resonator using an optimal output coupler. With a partiallycoated (R = 25%) thin etalon, the laser was tunable over &Delta;&lambda; ~ 1.6nm.
