A Ship Makes Its Navigation Receivers Vote
Multiple satellite references can expose an ionospheric disturbance hidden in one apparently clean link.
Summary
Multiple satellite references can expose an ionospheric disturbance hidden in one apparently clean link.
A new method combines several carrier-phase tests instead of trusting one reference. In a ten-hour, 96.3-kilometer ship experiment using six BeiDou references and three baselines, the collaborative rules improved detection sensitivity. The result still needs trials in rougher seas and other interference environments.
Why it matters
Multiple satellite references can expose an ionospheric disturbance hidden in one apparently clean link.
