Questions
• How well the individual antenna calibration values are valid
in the field ?
• What is the consistency between two sets of calibration
tables?
• Can we solve for the residual offsets of a GNSS-antenna?
• Residual offsets of the antenna should be zero if individual calibration values are
used in data processing. Some offsets may still be present. We call them residual
offsets.
• What is the effect of the changing the calibration table on
coordinates?

Simple test procedures
• Rotating the antennas without tilting (absolute N and E)
• Antenna swapping (relative)
• Comparing with ground truth (distances, height
differences, coordinate differences)
• Permutation method (relative)
• Antenna circulation (on three or more points)
• Full roving method (Bányai)
• Circulating and rotating antennas in a micro network
(relative Up, absolute N, E)
EMRP SIB60, Portugal 2014
Our test procedure
• Measurements: Each antenna visits every pillar. On some
pillars antennas are rotated about the vertical axis 180
degrees.
• Session solutions with Bernese separately with L1 and L2
• SINEX files
• Coordinates and covariance matrices are combined into the
final solution with residual offset parameters for antennas
• The datum defect is solved for by using Moore Penrose pseudo
inverse of normal matrix or by constraining the parameters.
• Residual offsets and their covariance matrices are converted to
NEU
• Statistical significances of the residual offsets are tested
• Height differences between antenna pairs are compared with
levelled height differences

Bernese processing
• Separately L1 and L2 daily solutions
• Robot (IfE, Univ. Hannover) and chamber (IGG, Univ. Bonn) individual
absolute calibration tables
• Bernese GNSS software version 5.2.
•
•
•
•
Double-difference approach
IGS final orbits and earth orientation parameters.
Ambiguities were solved using the sigma strategy
The troposphere using the Global Mapping Function. (Site specific troposphere parameters
were not estimated)
• Antenna orientation table in use for rotated antennas
• Separate solutions for observation cut-off in 10 and 15 degrees.
• The datum was defined by constraining one of the pillar points (440) to its
ITRF2008 coordinates in mid-epoch of the measurement campaigns.
• Together eight SINEX files for each measurement day.
• L1 and L2, two calibration tables, two cut of angles

Height differences from 440
Height differences between Revolver pillars
• The pillar 440 has different
multipath environment than the
Revolver pillars.
• The site specific multipath
environment doesn’t change
significally between sessions
• We can separate the influence of
antenna/antenna calibration table
from multipath
EMRP SIB60, Portugal 2014
Future plans
• To process the data gathered in July 2014 with splitted sessions in
order to find out the minimum time needed for the session
• To analyse the data with simpified configurations (swap and rotate) in
order to see if the residual offsets could be found quicker
• To develope (using the data already gathered) the test that can be
performed in reasonable time for practical use:
• It can be for example:
• Simple rotation and swapping with few sessions (few times a year or when needed) for
antenna pairs or group of antenna aimed to use in same project
• Or ground truth and reference antenna and rotation method
• If test results show significant residual offsets
• If the antenna is broken, change antenna
• If antenna is unbroken, use full permutation and rotating test or repeat the simple one
• If residual offsets are still more than the given
limits,
New robot or chamber calibration of the
antenna is needed
