Description
Procedimiento de determinación autónoma de la orientación de un receptor GNSS, con una sola antena, a partir de su información ionosférica.Procedure for the autonomous determination of orientation of a GNSS receiver, with a single antenna, from Your ionospheric information.
La presente invención se refiere a una procedimiento de determinación autónoma (sin necesidad de receptores/antenas adicionales) de la orientación de un receptor de navegación por satélite ("Global Navigation Satellite System" -GNSS- en general, GPS, Glonass y Galileo en particular) a partir de su información ionosférica. En efecto, la combinación libre de geometría de las fases de dos portadoras observadas en dos frecuencias distintas y desde un satélite dado, viene dada por el término de refracción ionosférica junto a la rotación de fase o "wind-up" (debido al movimiento del usuario), además del "wind-up" determinista (debido al movimiento del satélite) y de términos constantes (debidos a la ambigüedad de la portadora en el momento del enganche de la señal y al retraso instrumental entre frecuencias). Precisamente sustrayendo una estimación del término ionosférico, bien a partir de correcciones externas (proporcionadas por ejemplo por una red de estaciones de referencia usando, entre otras posibles, la técnica WARTK, ver por ejemplo Hernández-Pajares et al. 2000) [Hernández-Pajares M, J.M. Juan, J. Sanz, O. Colombo, Application of ionospheric tomography to real-time GPS carrier-phase ambiguities resolution, at scales of 400-1000 km and with high geomagnetic activity, Geophysical Research Letters, Vol. 27, No. 13, p. 2009-2012, 2000], o bien a partir de un filtro adaptativo, el término de rotación del usuario se aísla e integrado nos proporciona la orientación respecto de una valor inicial arbitrario.The present invention relates to an autonomous determination procedure (without the need for additional receivers / antennas) of the orientation of a satellite navigation receiver ("Global Navigation Satellite System" -GNSS- in general, GPS, Glonass and Galileo in particular ) from your ionospheric information. Indeed, the geometry-free combination of the phases of two carriers observed at two different frequencies and from a given satellite is given by the term ionospheric refraction next to the phase rotation or "wind-up" (due to the movement of the user), in addition to the deterministic "wind-up" (due to the movement of the satellite) and constant terms (due to the ambiguity of the carrier at the time of the signal hitch and the instrumental delay between frequencies). Precisely subtracting an estimate of the ionospheric term, either from external corrections (provided for example by a network of reference stations using, among other possible, the WARTK technique, see for example Hernández-Pajares et al . 2000) [Hernández-Pajares M, JM Juan, J. Sanz, O. Colombo, Application of ionospheric tomography to real-time GPS carrier-phase ambiguities resolution, at scales of 400-1000 km and with high geomagnetic activity, Geophysical Research Letters, Vol. 27, No 13, p. 2009-2012, 2000], or from an adaptive filter, the term of rotation of the user is isolated and integrated provides us with guidance regarding an arbitrary initial value.
El procedimiento de determinación autónoma de la orientación de un receptor GNSS, con una sola antena, a partir de su información ionosférica, se da en el contexto de la navegación electrónica precisa a través de señales de satélites (por ejemplo de los propios satélites GPS y de los futuros Galileo), que se ven refractadas por la Ionosfera y afectadas por la rotación del usuario (en el caso de la fase de la portadora).The procedure for autonomous determination of orientation of a GNSS receiver, with a single antenna, from its ionospheric information is given in the context of navigation precise electronics through satellite signals (for example from the GPS satellites themselves and the future Galileo), which are seen refracted by the Ionosphere and affected by the rotation of the user (in the case of the carrier phase).
Los usuarios GNSS utilizan típicamente un único receptor y antena GNSS para obtener su posición tridimensional. Y hasta ahora no era posible con ese equipo básico (usando por ejemplo la relación Señal-Ruido) obtener información de los cambios de orientación del usuario, en particular el del movimiento de rotación alrededor del eje de simetría (o "boresight") de la antena. Para ello se tenía que usar adicionalmente un sensor ad-hoc, como giróscopos y sensores inerciales, o alternativamente varios (al menos 3) receptores y antenas conectados entre sí. En cualquier caso el producto final queda encarecido sustancialmente tanto por el "hardware" adicional necesario como por el "software" de integración de sensores.GNSS users typically use a single GNSS receiver and antenna to obtain its three-dimensional position. Y until now it was not possible with that basic equipment (using by example the signal-to-noise ratio) get information of user orientation changes, in particular the rotational movement around the axis of symmetry (or "boresight") of the antenna. For this you had to use additionally an ad-hoc sensor, such as gyroscopes and inertial sensors, or alternatively several (at least 3) receivers and antennas connected to each other. In any case the final product is substantially increased both by the additional "hardware" required as per the "software" of sensor integration
El invento presentado en este documento viene a proporcionar una nueva funcionalidad a los receptores GNSS o "posicionadores" tridimensionales por satélite: la de giróscopos basados en la información libre de geometría, que contiene la orientación junto al retraso ionosférico, proporcionada por las fases de las portadoras en dos frecuencias. Es lo que llamaremos "giroscopio ionosférico", y no supone "hardware" adicional, siendo el software adicional necesario generalmente sencillo e integrado en el propio "software" de navegación del usuario.The invention presented in this document comes to provide new functionality to GNSS receivers or three-dimensional satellite "positioners": gyroscopes based on geometry-free information, which contains the orientation next to the ionospheric delay, provided by the phases of the carriers in two frequencies. It is what we will call "ionospheric gyroscope", and it does not mean additional "hardware", the additional software being necessary generally simple and integrated into the "software" itself User navigation
