GNSS biases?

• A prominent example is: GPS group delays (TGD) as broadcast by the GPS.

• Parameters that might be considered as nuisance (or bias) parameters, such as- ionosphere,- troposphere,- antenna,- clock,

have in fact a physical meaning (and are useful for particular applications).

• Our main focus is on: biases with respect to specific GNSS observables.


List of GNSS biases

• GNSS differential code biases (DCB)• CODE’s DCB specialties (e.g., DCB multiplier estimation)• GLONASS interfrequency code biases (relevant to GNSS

clock estimation, or PPP)• Intersystem code biases• “DCPB” crucial for GLONASS ambiguity resolution• Intersystem phase biases (or drifts)• Uncalibrated phase delays (UPD) relevant to undifferened

integer fixing for PPP• GLONASS-GPS station-specific intersystem translations as

considered in CODE’s GNSS analysis• IGS ANTEX model• (GPS) quarter-cycle issue (again crucial)


List of GNSS biases






Receiver classification• The following code (pseudorange) observables are available from GPS:

C/A (=C1), P1(Y1), P2(Y2), and C2 (for the Block IIR-M constellation).• In the presence of Anti-Spoofing (AS), P-codes P1, P2 are encrypted for

non-authorized users to Y1, Y2. • We have to distinguish between three receiver classes (in terms of the

code tracking technology):- P1/P2: C1, P1, P2- C1/X2: C1, X2=C1+(P2-P1) - C1/P2: C1, P2

• C1/X2 receiver models are identified as cross-correlation (CC) receivers. Prominent examples are Rogue and Trimble 4000 models.

• The operation of CC receivers depends on the AS state. It is assumed here that AS is always on (!).

• The latest generations of Leica, Novatel, Trimble receivers belong to the C1/P2 receiver class (at least in terms of GPS).


Instrumental code biases

• Instrumental biases, BC1, BP1, BP2, BC2, are present with respect to C1, P1, P2, C2. These biases are not accessible (in the absolutesense).

• It is common to address the following differences of code biases:- P1-P2,- P1-C1, and- P2-C2 differential code bias (=DCB).

• By convention, precise satellite clock corrections contain a specific linear combination of P1 and P2 satellite biases, specifically the ionosphere-free LC: 2.55·BP1-1.55·BP2(+B0).

• It is obvious that code tracking data from both the C1/X2 and the C1/P2 receiver class must be corrected in order to achieve full consistency with P1/P2 data, or precise satellite clock information.

• Non-separability: satellite and receiver biases are generally not separable.


How to Use P1-P2 and P1-C1 Satellite DCB Information

Intersystem phase biases (1/4)

• Number of double-difference observations (per epoch) for four different analysis (or combination) scenarios, assuming 4 GPS and 2 GLONASS satellites in view.



• GPS-GLONASS inter-system phase bias variability, specifically the ionosphere-free linear combination of L1 and L2 biases, for baseline ZIMJ-ZIMT, for days 309–315, 2006 (GPS week 1400).



• GPS-GLONASS inter-system phase bias variability, the ionosphere-free linear combination (LC) of L1 and L2 biases, compared to biases directly associated with L1 and L2, for baseline ZIMJ-ZIMT, for day 309, 2006.



• Variability of epoch parameters compensating a supposed “GPS-GPS” differential phase bias between two sets of PRNs (PRN 01–16 and PRN 17–32), the ionosphere-free linear combination (LC) of L1 and L2 biases, compared to biases directly associated with L1 and L2, for baseline ZIMJ-ZIMT, for day 309, 2006.

GNSS analysis updates and treatment of these intersystem translation parameters at CODE

• Since GPS week 1619 (EUREF: 1615), an extra set of (3+1) parameters is set up for each GLONASS observing station to characterize- a GLONASS-GPS receiver antenna offset vector and- a GLONASS-GPS ZPD troposphere bias.

• Starting with GPS week 1625, these GLONASS-GPS bias parameters (4 for each GNSS station) are determined on a weekly basis and subsequently used for generation of our daily IGS analysis results.

• Note 1: The datum definition used for the GLONASS-GPS receiver antenna offset vectors is similar to that used for station coordinates: no-net translation and no-net rotation conditions with respect to all GLONASS observing stations are imposed.

• Note 2: GLONASS-GPS ZPD troposphere biases are generally treated unconstrained.

• Note 3: Our weekly SINEX contribution implicitly includes these GLONASS-GPS bias parameters (4 for each GNSS station).

List of GNSS biases






Remark concerning GNSS antenna phase center modeling• GNSS satellite antenna phase center offsets and variations

are commonly referred to the ionosphere-free LC• A set of corresponding parameters is set up in CODE’s

ionosphere analysis (with respect to the geometry-free LC)- retrieval of GNSS antenna information for L1 and L2


List of GNSS biases






GPS quarter-cycle issue (again crucial)

• L2(C) may show quarter-cycle biases for GPS Block IIR-M/IIF (with respect to previous, “non-C2” GPS generations) particularly in case of:- Leica- NovAtel- Javad


[IGSMAIL-6583] GPS quarter-cycle biasesUntil recently, we did expect GPS quarter-cycle biases between L2(P)and L2(C) only for Leica and NovAtel receivers. As a consequence,ambiguity resolution was not permitted between modernized GPSsatellites (specifically Block IIR-M and IIF) and older generations assoon as a receiver type belonging to the mentioned receiver group getsinvolved.

We could recognize, however, three additional characteristics that mustbe taken into account:

1. Javad receivers obviously also belong to this receiver group(potentially revealing quarter-cycle biases). We could verifycorresponding biases for the JAVAD TRE_G3TH DELTA receivers operated atAREV, DGAV, TABV, WTZZ. It is worth mentioning that AREV, DGAV, TABVstarted to provide C2 and thus implicitly L2(C) on February 3, 2012.Quarter-cycle biases started to occur exactly in coincidence with thatdate (day 034 of 2012) for these Javad receivers. Verification waspossible on the zero baselines AREV-AREQ (wrt ASHTECH UZ-12), DGAV-DGAR(wrt ASHTECH UZ-12), and ultimately on the 50km baseline TABV-JPLV (wrtJPS EGGDT).

2. Moreover, we realized that there are certain time periods forparticular modernized GPS satellites where C2 and L2(C) seem to becommonly unavailable (no receiver model was able to provide C2 andL2(C) at all). SVN49 is a prominent candidate in the table of such timeperiods:

PRN01/SVN49: 54951 <= MJD < 54970PRN25/SVN62: 55353 <= MJD < 55375PRN01/SVN49: 55677 <= MJD < 55688PRN24/SVN49: 55959 <= MJD < 56001

3. Finally, we noticed cases, where L2(C) was not observed byparticular receivers for one (or a subset) of the modernized GPSsatellites.

As a consequence of the above observations, we changed our analysissoftware in a way that ambiguity resolution is generally not permittedbetween modernized GPS satellites as soon as a Javad, Leica, or aNovAtel receiver type gets involved.




Our basic principle

• Multi-GNSS analysis with best possible consistency (among all considered GNSS) is strived for:- all significant biases must be taken into account (either

modeled/corrected or estimated)- finding the optimum/tradeoff between over and under

estimation of an analysis problem


We may summarize that …

• GNSS biases become relevant when- different observable types,- different frequencies,- different GNSS (or satellite generations),- different receiver antenna types,- different receiver antenna mountings,- different receiver antenna environments,- different receiver types,- different receiver firmware versions,- or, ultimately, different observation techniques (…)are involved.


Thank you for your attention …
