The Phase Ambiguity Resolution by the Exhaustion Method in a Single-Base Interferometer
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: In the paper, the phase methods are considered for the measurement of the spatial orientation of an object by means of satellite navigation equipment. Methods for the resolution of phase ambiguity are analyzed. Effectiveness and applicability of the one-step methods are discussed in more detail. It is proved that for the realization of the exhaustion method the minimal group of navigation spacecrafts should include 5–6 observed ones. When measuring signals of 8 spacecrafts of base length 1 m, an unambiguous solution is achieved practically in all cases.
