Abstract :
The problems met in highly dynamic conditions while measuring GPS carrier phase and detecting data transition are analyzed. The signal parameters are estimated through an extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm. A simple data transition and parameter correction method is studied vigorously. The tracking performance and tracking error of this simple method are simulated and compared with a no data transition detection method. The simulation shows that this data transition method conduces to improving the precision of phase estimation, and the dynamic performance of the algorithm is ameliorative too
