Ma, H. (author), Psychas, D.V. (author), Xing, Xuhuang (author), Zhao, Qile (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Liu, Xianglin (author)The tropospheric delay is one of many error sources that affect the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning solutions. The widely used troposphere models assume a homogeneous atmosphere so that only the zenith delay needs to be determined and is mapped through an elevation-dependent mapping function. This procedure is to reduce...journal article 2021

Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Khodabandeh, A. (author)Although ionosphere-weighted GNSS parameter estimation is a popular technique for strengthening estimator performance in the presence of ionospheric delays, no provable rules yet exist that specify the needed weighting in dependence on ionospheric circumstances. The goal of the present contribution is therefore to develop and present the...journal article 2021

Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Massarweh, L. (author), Verhagen, S. (author)In this contribution, we extend the principle of integer bootstrapping (IB) to a vectorial form (VIB). The mathematical definition of the class of VIB-estimators is introduced together with their pull-in regions and other properties such as probability bounds and success rate approximations. The vectorial formulation allows sequential block...journal article 2021

Haji Aghajany, S. (author), Amerian, Yazdan (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Rohm, Witold (author), Schuh, Harald (author)Tropospheric wet delay, the main source of which is water vapor, is one of the major factors affecting the accuracy of positioning techniques using microwave. Tropospheric tomography is a powerful method to reconstruct the water vapor content in four-dimensional (4D) space. This paper studies the effect of using function-based and voxel-based...journal article 2021

Haji Aghajany, S. (author), Amerian, Yazdan (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Rohm, Witold (author), Ma, H. (author)The water vapor content in the atmosphere can be reconstructed using the all-weather condition troposphere tomography technique. In common troposphere tomography, the water vapor of each voxel is represented by an unknown parameter. This means that when the desired spatial resolution is high or study area is large, there will be a huge number of...journal article 2020
