BeiDou – What is it?
北斗
Big Dipper or Plough, Northern Dipper
Chinese satellite navigation system
Demonstration system (BeiDou-1) completed
in 2003
Second generation under construction
(BeiDou-2; previously known as COMPASS)
SIS ICD released in December 2012
BeiDou signals will be free of charge
Full global constellation expected in 2020

BeiDou – Constellation
Operational constellation:
• 35 satellites (GPS currently 31 - MEO)
• 5 Geosynchronous Earth Obiter (GEO)
• 3 Inclined GeoSynchronous Orbiter (IGSO)
• 27 Medium Earth Orbiter (MEO)
• Global coverage
Current (2013) Constellation:

region

BeiDou – Time and Coordinate Systems
BeiDou Time System:
Beidou time (BDT) is synchronized with UTC
within 100 ns
Offset BDT and GPS time (GPST)/Galileo
time (GST) is broadcast by satellites
BeiDou Coordinate System:
BeiDou uses China Geodetic System 2000
(CGS2000)
Coincides with ITRF at few centimetre level;
for most (surveying) applications difference
between CGS2000 and ITRF can be ignored

BeiDou + GPS: Single Point Positioning (SPP)
B1 BEIDOU.
24 h of data (07/07/12) tracked at Curtin’s
permanent GNSS station (Trimble NetR9)
Single-frequency Beidou (B1 code) + GPS
(L1 C/A code) data used; cut off = 10 deg
Satellite orbits/clocks from nav. message
Estimate parameters: 3D position + 1
receiver clock error per constellation
Position errors computed by subtracting
estimated position from known coordinates

BeiDou + GPS: Real-Time Kinematic (RTK)
Positioning
Relative (2 receivers) positioning based on
code (pseudorange) and carrier phase
Integer carrier-phase ambiguity resolution
(IAR) = key to high-precision (mm-cm level)
positioning
CUTA (Left; reference) and CUTT (Right; rover)
Short baseline: elimination of clocks +
atmospheric errors
Most challenging: single-frequency BeiDou
(B1 code) + GPS (L1 C/A code) single-epoch
RTK
Double-differenced observations with unknown
parameters: 3D relative position + doubledifferenced phase ambiguities per
constellation

Conclusions
BeiDou is now operational in Asia-Pacific region and
signals can be tracked by multi-GNSS receivers
Combined BeiDou+GPS: increased availability of satellites
and frequencies
Data quality BeiDou ≈ GPS
First ever Australian combined BeiDou+GPS results were
presented, computed using in-house software of Curtin’s
GNSS Research Centre
Combined Beidou+GPS seems to be much more robust for
single-frequency RTK positioning and attitude determination
in challenging environments, compared to one constellation
