Abstract.
In this contribution GPS statistics are presented for the case that the relative receiver-satellite geometry is included in the single baseline model and for the case that the relative receiver-satellite geometry is excluded. It is shown that the statistics are linked through a particular form of a phased adjustment. Based on the stepwise approach of a phased adjustment, the impact of using satellite geometry or dispensing with it, on the least-squares estimators, on the teststatistics and their associated reliability, and on the integer ambiguity estimation, is presented and analyzed.
