FAST RECOVERY FROM INCORRECT CARRIER PHASE INTEGER LOCKING

摘要

Determining a position of a device using a signal received from a reference emitter includes: receiving the signa (80)l; determining a state of a first filter (81), the state of the first filter including a first carrier phase ambiguity estimate that includes a floating value; determining a state of a second filter (82), the state of the second filter including a second carrier phase ambiguity estimate that includes a fixed value; determining whether the state of the second filter is consistent with one other filter state or measurement (83); maintaining the state of the second filter in response to the device determining that the state of the second filter is consistent with the other filter state (84); changing the state of the second filter to the state of the first filter in response to the device determining that the state of the second filter is not consistent with the other filter state (85); determining the position of the device based on the state of the second filter (86).
