How to use CODE's IAR analysis products for PPP-AR, or integer-PPP (IPPP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please use the CODE IGS products of a particular analysis line - eph ... SP3c/SP3d orbit file, - erp ... IERS ERP file, - clk ... 30-sec Clock(-RINEX) corrections - clk_05s ... 5-sec Clock(-RINEX) corrections (available for the final product) in conjunction with - bia ... the accompanying Bias-SINEX file from CODE. These daily bias files contain pseudo-absolute (OSB) - pseudorange and - phase bias values for the GPS/Galileo constellation that are *consistent* with the associated ambiguity-fixed clock product and and thus has to be applied for *each* involved observation, specifically in the sense: O_measured = O_computed + B_satellite where O stands for Observation and B for Bias. Note that just satellite OSB (Observable-specific Signal Bias) corrections are relevant for PPP ambiguity resolution (PPP-AR) and integer-PPP (IPPP), respectively. Following this convention, you should get the integer nature of single-receiver (between-satellite) phase ambiguities automatically recovered for both - wide-lane (WL) ambiguities using the Melbourne-Wuebbena LC and - narrow-lane (NL) ambiguities using the ionosphere-free LC (when introducing the previously resolved WL integers). Note: NL ambiguity resolution may be performed in phase-only or in pseudorange-supported mode. CAUTION: It is critical that no satellite PCO corrections are applied for the Melbourne-Wuebbena LC. The current phase bias values of CODE are conditioned accordingly. This is crucial especially for GPS Block IIIA satellites as well as the complete Galileo constellation. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please follow the "no phase bias no AR" rule. References ---------- CODE rapid product series for the IGS. Published by Astronomical Institute, University of Bern.
