Mas, esta observável pode sofrer perdas de ciclos durante o rastreamento do sinal. Uma perda de ciclo é uma descontinuidade de um número inteiro de ciclos na fase da onda portadora, causada por uma perda temporária de rastreamento do sinal pelo receptor. Assim, as perdas de ciclos devem ser detectadas e corrigidas para que se obtenha posicionamento acurado. Diversos métodos foram desenvolvidos com esse objetivo. Algo que também vem sendo amplamente estudado é a detecção das perdas de ciclos nos novos sinais GPS. O advento da terceira frequência disponibilizada a partir da modernização do GPS também deve ser explorado. Na presente pesquisa buscou-se estudar os diferentes métodos de detecção e correção de perdas de ciclos e implementar o mais adequado para o posicionamento de alta acurácia no Brasil. Foram selecionadas duas metodologias para fim de detecção e correção, sendo a primeira baseada no método das triplas diferenças (TD) clássico e a segunda baseada no método de sequência de combinações lineares. Além disso, foi proposta uma terceira metodologia para melhoria do método das TD. Foram realizados dois experimentos, sendo o primeiro realizado com dados simulados e o segundo com dados reais em período de alta atividade ionosférica, e para ambos os casos foram considerados dois cenários: linha de base curta e linha de base lo...

However, the carrier phase measurement may suffer cycle slips during signal tracking. A cycle slip is a discontinuity of an integer number of cycles in the phase observable, caused by a temporary loss of lock in the receiver carrier tracking loop. Thus, cycle slips must be detected and corrected in order to obtain accurate positioning. Several methods were developed for this purpose. Something that has also been studied is the detection of cycle slip in the new GPS signals. The advent of the third frequency available from the GPS modernization. Should be explored in the context of cycle slip detection and correction. In the present research the different cycle slip detection and correction methods were studied and t the most suitable for the high accuracy positioning in Brazil was implemented. Two methodologies were selected for the purpose of this research, the first one based on the classical triple difference (TD) method and the second based on the linear combination sequence method. In addition, a third methodology was proposed to improve the TD method. Two experiments were performed, the first one being carried out with simulated data and the second with real data in the period of high ionospheric activity, and for both cases two scenarios were considered: short baseline and long baseline. For simulated short baseline data, the classical TD method, the proposed TD metho... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

The L5 signal of the Global Positioning System (GPS) is becoming available on an increasing number of Block IIF satellites. As the third civilian signal, L5 is superior in signal design to the L1 C/A and L2C civilian signals. This new signal has been marked healthy for use on selected satellites since 2010, yet the hardware capable of tracking the L5 signal is still in the early stages of development. This work investigates the characteristics of the new signal and the quality of data produced by L5-tracking receivers. Commonly used receiver models chosen for this study are the Leica GRX1200+GNSS, the Trimble NetR8, and the Javad Delta TRE-G3TH. The metrics used in this analysis to assess the quality of data produced by these receivers are signal strength, receiver phase noise, receiver code noise, and multipath. The data used in these analyses were obtained from the International GNSS Service for the days of the year 275 to 281 in 2011. Metrics averaged over the GPS week 1656 provide a good indication of the overall performance of the receivers. / text
