Özet

Following substantial progress achieved recently, the Galileo constellation provides a considerable satellite resource for the GNSS applications. In this regard, the performance assessment of real-time single-frequency precise positioning with Galileo satellites is the main objective of this research. For this purpose, several experimental tests were conducted in this study with two single-frequency positioning models, namely single-frequency code-based positioning and code-phase combination. The results show that Galileo presents an adequate number of visible satellites sufficient for single-frequency positioning. Also, the study demonstrates that, in comparison to GPS observations, Galileo observations have a significantly lower noise level. For the single-frequency code-based positioning, Galileo presents a better positioning accuracy than GPS by 25.8% on average. When compared with GPS, a 9.4% better positioning accuracy is acquired from Galileo for the single-frequency code-phase combination, with its average convergence time shorter than GPS by a ratio of 24.4%.
