GPS phase difference variation statistics: A comparison between phase scintillation index and proxy indices

Scintillated GPS phase observations are traditionally characterized by the phase scintillation index, derived from specialized GPS receivers usually tracking at 50 Hz. Geodetic quality GPS receivers, on the other hand, are normally tracking at frequencies up to 1 Hz. However, availability of continuously operating geodetic receivers both in time and geographical location are superior to scintillation receiver’s coverage in many parts of the world. This motivates scintillation studies using regional and global geodetic GPS networks. Previous studies have shown the usefulness of GPS estimated total electron content variations for detecting ionospheric irregularities. In this paper, collocated geodetic and scintillation receivers are employed to compare proxy indices derived from geodetic receivers with the phase scintillation index during quiet and moderately disturbed ionospheric conditions. Sensitivity of the phase scintillation indices at high latitude stations to geomagnetic activity is discussed. Global mapping of ionospheric disturbances using proxy indices from real-time 1 Hz GPS stations are also presented.     

WIOBSS: The Chinese low-power digital ionosonde for ionospheric backscattering detection

The ionospheric laboratory of Wuhan University has developed an ionosonde over about seven years. The prototype is designed as a portable, low-power digital MF (medium frequency) and HF (high frequency) radio system with high range and Doppler resolution. The first system is used for ionospheric oblique backscattering detection and called WIOBSS (Wuhan Ionospheric Oblique Backscattering Sounding System). WIOBSS is a portable monostatic ionosonde for both ionospheric research and HF channel management, adopting alternate transmitting and receiving patterns to transmit long coded pulse trains for high pulse compression gain. The almost perfect sequences are applied to modulate the pulse train for sounding without range sidelobes and the echo phase is used to estimate the Doppler velocity and velocity fluctuation. This paper introduces the new techniques adopted by WIOBSS and presents some observations.

Carrier phase prediction method for GNSS precise positioning in challenging environment

Since the signals of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) are blocked frequently in challenging environments, the discontinuous carrier phases seriously affect the application of GNSS precise positioning. To improve the carrier phase continuity, this paper proposes a carrier phase prediction method based on carrier open-loop tracking. In the open-loop tracking mode, the carrier numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) is controlled by the predicted Doppler, but not by the loop filter output. To improve the phase prediction effective time, accurate receiver clock drift estimation is studied in the prediction method. The phase prediction performance is tested on GNSS software receiver. In the phase prediction effective time tests, open-loop processes were set for the tested channel. The test results show that, when some satellite signals are blocked in 15?s, the probability of carrier phase error less than quarter cycles is more than 94%. In the real time kinematic (RTK) positioning tests, some satellite signals are blocked in 10–15?s repeatedly. The test results show that, the carrier phase continuity is basically not affected by the signal interruption, and the RTK can almost keep continuous centimeter-level positioning accuracy without re-fixing the integer ambiguity.

超临界RP-3航空煤油喷嘴内部流动与相变特性研究

未来航空燃气轮机采用燃油作为冷却剂,对发动机冷却空气及热端部件进行冷却,使得燃油在进入燃烧室之前超过其热力学临界点,燃油的热力学性质发生巨大变化,将对燃油在喷嘴内的流动和喷嘴下游的喷射掺混过程产生重要的影响,因此有必要对超临界RP-3在喷嘴内的流动与相变特性展开研究。本文采用自主设计的喷嘴内部收缩通道模拟试验件,对超临界RP-3在喷嘴内的沿程压力分布进行测量,并采用基于一维等熵假设的计算方法进行数值模拟。试验首次获得了超临界航空煤油RP-3在喷嘴收缩通道内的沿程静压分布随喷射压力、温度变化的规律。通过与模型对比,发现未发生相变时,计算结果与试验值拟合精度较高,可以较好地预测RP-3在喷嘴内的流动参数,喷嘴内的静压分布也趋于一致;发生冷凝相变时,计算结果与试验值产生误差较大,喷射参数对于静压分布存在着较大的影响。本文试验获得的超临界RP-3航空煤油在喷嘴内的流动与相变特性,为航空发动机超临界RP-3喷射的喷嘴设计提供了重要的设计依据。
