Sadegh Nojehdeh, Parvaneh (author), Khodabandeh, Amir (author), Khoshelham, Kourosh (author), Amiri Simkooei, A. (author)The provision of accurate ionospheric corrections in PPP-RTK enormously improves the performance of single-receiver user integer ambiguity resolution (IAR), thus enabling fast high precision positioning. While an external provider can disseminate such corrections to the user with a time delay, it is the task of the user to accurately time...journal article 2023

Psychas, D.V. (author)Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) modelling and processing method that provides single-receiver users with high positioning accuracy anywhere on the globe, without the explicit dependence on reference receivers.

Vanhamel, J. (author), Machiels, Walter (author), Lamy, Hervé (author)In the last couple of years, the use of weak signal propagation reporter (WSPR) has grown significantly in the radio amateur community and beyond. This protocol allows to probe potential propagation paths between radio transceivers, operating at a low-power level. The protocol decodes the received signals and translates them into appropriate...journal article 2022

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

Schreiter, Lucas (author), Montenbruck, Oliver (author), Zangerl, Franz (author), Siemes, C. (author), Arnold, Daniel (author), Jäggi, Adrian (author)Gravity fields derived from GPS tracking of the three Swarm satellites have shown artifacts near the geomagnetic equator, where the carrier phase tracking on the L2 frequency is unable to follow rapid ionospheric path delay changes due to a limited tracking loop bandwidth of only 0.25 Hz in the early years of the mission. Based on the...journal article 2021

Beenen, Kathelijne (author)Accurate weather forecasting plays an important role in predicting precipitation events. With the warming climate the precipitable water vapour in the atmospheric is increasing. Since weather parameters as precipitable water vapor have a high spatial variability, interpolation of water vapor data over an area of hundreds of kilometer does not...student report 2020

Wang, K. (author), Khodabandeh, A. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)Various studies have been performed to investigate the accuracy of troposphere zenith wet delays (ZWDs) determined from GPS. Most of these studies use dual-frequency GPS data of large-scale networks with long baselines to determine the absolute ZWDs. For small-scale networks the estimability of the absolute ZWDs deteriorates due to high...journal article 2019
