Refinement of BeiDou satellite antenna phase center correction model and its impact on precision orbit determination and positioning

Aiming at the lack of high accurate antenna phase correction (PCC) model for the BDS-2 IGSO and MEO satellites, in the BDS-2 and BDS-3 satellites joint precision orbit determination (POD) and precise point positioning (PPP), in this paper, an improved method for estimating PCV and z-offset parameters is used to refine the B1I/B3I ionosphere-free linear combination PCC model for the BDS-2 IGSO and MEO satellites. Compared with the results obtained using the ground-calibrated PCO model published by BeiDou official, the STD of SLR residuals obtained by the POD using the refined PCC model is reduced by 0.6~2.4 cm, and the improvement percentage is about 8.6%~33.3%. The floating PPP solution results, based on the refined BDS-2 satellite PCC model in this paper and the existing BDS-3 PCC model, have been significantly improved by 9.5 mm (37.2%) in the elevation direction.
