Abstract:In order to compare the zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) estimated by precise point positioning (PPP) using BDS and GPS data respectively under the conditions of the existing constellation, the solutions by BDS only, GPS only and combined BDS/GPS are presented and analyzed. We use real tracking data of a single day from IGS and MGEX stations with precise orbit and precise satellite clocks obtained from CODE and WHIGG. The experimental results show that an accuracy of X mm level can be achieved by GPS, while less than 2cm can be achieved by BDS compare to IGS ZTD products. This suggests that a more accurate result is obtained by GPS than BDS. In addition, a similar result is achieved by combined GPS/BDS as compared to that of GPS only.
