| Summary: | It is well known that multipath is one of the main sources of errors in GPS static high precision positioning of short baselines. Most algorithms for reducing multipath manipulate the GPS double difference (DD) observation residuals as input signal in GPS signal processing. In the traditional multipath mitigation methods, applying the wavelet transform (WT) to decompose the GPS DD observation residuals for identifying the multipath disturbance cannot effectively filter out the white noise of the high frequency part of the signal, and it is prone to edge effect. In this paper, for extracting multipath, a wavelet packet algorithm based on two-dimensional moving weighted average processing (WP-TD) is proposed. This algorithm can not only effectively filter out the white noise of the high frequency part of the signal, but also weaken the influence of the edge effect. Furthermore, considering the repeatability of multipath error in static positioning, we propose a method for determining the level of wavelet packet decomposition layers which make multipath extraction more effectively. The experimental results show that the corrected positioning accuracy is 14.14% higher than that of the traditional wavelet transform when applying the obtained multipath to DD coordinate sequences for position correction.
