Extensive alteration of common integrated system designs offers major benefits in performance and economy. Estimation of dynamics from carrier-phase sequential differences can relieve the burden of ambiguity resolution, and therefore eliminate system instability from local minima sometimes producing incorrect integers. By placing emphasis appropriately on short-term behavior, computational complexity is also reduced with numerous algorithmic enhancements not commonly used. Various application-dependent alternative formulations are offered, with implications for interface standards for both inertial and GPS data. This work produced a program successfully validated with a low-cost inertial measurement unit, updated by GPS code and carrier at 1 Hz. Correlations are addressed, along with the influence on processing algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
