Abstract

Phase center of GPS receiving antennas are significant error source in GPS precise orbit determination. The error source was influenced by all kinds of environment and was not be calibrate by testing in ground. This paper study a method for calibration GPS antenna phase center offsets (PCO) and phase center variation (PCV) by GPS pseudo-range and carrier phase. A lot of orbit by GPS receiver was compared with by each other, the GPS antenna phase center offsets was be eliminated from the GPS precise orbit determination.
