Analysis of the properties of regional geodetic GNSS networks built by the relative method. General case

Abstract

In this paper, we continue to study the geodetic stations adjusted coordinates’ statistical properties in permanently operated networks. Analytical reconstructing the variance-covariance matrix of a real vector solution obtained from processing a redundant set of the same GNSS observation session’s measured vectors is performed. The mentioned matrix is compared with the same one, of the vector solution, resulted on the measured lines’ total set basis. Common properties of both arrays are revealed, as well as discrepancies in features for different types of solutions. As a suitable tool for studying the latter, the corresponding absolute way is offered
