B-spline function-based approach for GPS tropospheric tomography

Tropospheric tomography is one of the most important techniques to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) images of the tropospheric water vapor fields using a local GNSS network. In the conventional tropospheric tomography method, called voxel-based tropospheric tomography, the 3D space is divided into many voxels and the amount of water vapor...

An efficient implementation of fixed failure-rate ratio test for GNSS ambiguity resolution

Ambiguity Resolution (AR) plays a vital role in precise GNSS positioning. Correctly-fixed integer ambiguities can significantly improve the positioning solution, while incorrectly-fixed integer ambiguities can bring large positioning errors and, therefore, should be avoided. The ratio test is an extensively used test to validate the fixed...
