Abstract:The inconsistency of three frequency carrier phases of Block IIF satellites (PRN01 with PRN25)causes difference between the satellite clock biases (SCBs)derived from L1/L2based ionospherefree linear combination and the SCBs obtained from L1/L5based ionospherefree linear combination.The SCBs’ inconsistency between L1/L2 and L1/L5 is called interfrequency clock biases (IFCBs).IFCBs of Block IIF satellites (PRN01,PRN24,PRN25,PRN27)were obtained by processing the data from 37 IGS network stations.Analysis for the features of these IFCBs indicates:1)The epochdifferenced method is more efficient than the undifferenced one;2)All the Block IIF satellites exist apparent IFCBs,whose magnitude are approximately in centimeter to decimeter;3)The periods of 12,6,8 and 4 h can describe the IFCBs’ periodic variation better than other period groups.4)The model is also suitble for PRN24 and PRN27 Block IIF satellites.
