TLDR
The results show that the signal-in-space ranging error increases first and then decreases as the orbital height of the user increases, and that the impact of user height changes on the statistical properties of signal- in-spaceranging error cannot be ignored when evaluating the navigation performance of the space user.Abstract:
The number and scope of space applications of global navigation satellite systems have grown significantly. However, the availability and the navigation performance for a spacecraft operating within and beyond the space services volume are different from those of terrestrial service volume users. To effectively evaluate the space service performance of navigation satellite systems, we present the calculation method of signal-in-space ranging error for space users. Considering the geometric visibility and the constraints of the lowest carrier-to-noise ratio, we analyze the feasibility of receiving the signal transmitted from the different off-nadir angles and obtain the coverage area of navigation satellite. Then, the relationship between the weighting factors of ephemeris errors and the orbital height of the user spacecraft is analyzed. Finally, the statistics characteristic of signal-in-space ranging error of typical navigation satellites is presented. The results show that the signal-in-space ranging error increases first and then decreases as the orbital height of the user increases. Generally, when the user's orbital height is slightly higher than the orbital height of the navigation satellite, the signal-in-space ranging error reaches a maximum. In particular, due to the significant horizontal orbit error, global signal-in-space ranging error of the Beidou geostationary orbits satellites increase significantly compared with the user located on the ground. Therefore, the impact of user height changes on the statistical properties of signal-in-space ranging error cannot be ignored when evaluating the navigation performance of the space user.read more

GNSS Multipath and Jamming Mitigation Using High-Mask-Angle Antennas and Multiple Constellations
TL;DR: This paper proves a novel lower bound on the expectation of dilution of precision (DOP) and derives closed-form formulas that relate the lower bound to the antenna mask angle and the number of satellites and shows that using HMAAs is more beneficial to usersinterested in positioning accuracy than to users interested in time transfer accuracy.

Long-term behavior and statistical characterization of BeiDou signal-in-space errors
TL;DR: The cross-correlation analysis results show that there is a significant positive correlation between along-track errors and radial errors, whereas radial errors are not evidently correlated to clock errors as they are with GPS.
