Satellite Differential Code Bias Estimated Using EGYNET: A Local Egyptian Permanent Network

Abstract

This paper proposes to determine the GPS satellites DCB using nine GPS receivers located in the middle of Egypt. During four seasons and 36 days characterized by quiet geomagnetism, the performance of the proposed method is examined. The dual GPS data selected is used and applied to the GPS receiver chain notes. The Bernese program V.5 is used to estimate DCBs from the data of a single GPS station where the results of the algorithm operation are compared to the CODE DCB data and the main differences in GLONASS data are recorded. According to the comparison of the results between the proposed method and the currently existing methods, it can be shown that the accuracy of the DCB estimates is at a level of about 0.31 and 0.17 ns.
