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/QZSS 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 whether (or not) satellite PCO corrections are applied for the Melbourne-Wuebbena LC. This is crucial especially for GPS Block IIIA satellites as well as for the complete Galileo constellation. - APPLIED: The above mentioned PCO correction is generally applied for products generated from day 331 of 2022 (start of GPS week 2238) or if indicated with the header record "*SATELLITE_ANTENNA_PCC_APPLIED_TO_MW_LC YES". The current phase bias values of CODE are conditioned accordingly and must therefore be considered in conjunction with a PCO correction also when processing the MW LC. - NOT APPLIED: Such a correction is not applied to the MW LC if this is declared with "*SATELLITE_ANTENNA_PCC_APPLIED_TO_MW_LC NO" or if no corresponding header record is specified. In such a case, users should not apply any PCO correction to the MW LC. Note: It is important that, as far as PCO corrections are applied, they correspond to the underlying IGS ANTEX model. The latest IGS ANTEX model used in CODE's operational analysis lines can be found at: http://ftp.aiub.unibe.ch/CODE/I20.ATX http://ftp.aiub.unibe.ch/BSWUSER54/REF/I20.ATX IMPORTANT NOTE: Please follow the "no phase bias no AR" rule.
