- Abstract
With the global service of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), the Galileo Navigation Satellite System (Galileo), and the modernization of the Global Positioning System (GPS), achieving high-precision positioning through triple-frequency-only observations in medium baseline real-time kinematics (RTK) is anticipated. This study investigates the impacts of double-difference (DD) troposphere delay and ionosphere delay on ambiguity resolution (AR) based on six medium baselines at a latitude of 30°. Additionally, it evaluates positioning accuracy, fixing rate, convergence time, and computational time using triple-frequency-only (B1I/B2a/B3I, E1/E5a/E5b, L1/L2/L5) data, comparing these results to those obtained from dual-frequency (B1I/B2a, E1/E5a, L1/L2) and combined dual-frequency and triple-frequency data. The experimental findings suggest that, for geometry-based wide-lane (WL) AR, the DD troposphere delay and ionosphere delay can be disregarded. However, they cannot be overlooked when aiming to resolve the raw ambiguity. Triple-frequency-only RTK exhibits comparable positioning accuracy to dual-frequency RTK, with its primary advantage lying in faster convergence. The probability of achieving convergence within 180 s is approximately 8.0% higher for triple-frequency-only RTK compared to dual-frequency RTK. In terms of computational time, the use of triple-frequency-only data reduces the required time by 8.26 s compared to the approach that simultaneously employs both dual-frequency and triple-frequency data, resulting in a computational time reduction of approximately 20%. Therefore, when conducting medium baseline RTK positioning, it is recommended to adopt the ambiguity resolution method proposed in this paper based on triple-frequency-only observations.
