consequence, e.g., sensor offsets (in the inertial frame) are computed based on attitude<br />

information and no site displacements due to tides or tropospheric corrections<br />

are applied. For CHAMP the corresponding section in the file looks like<br />

• The satellite has to be listed in both sections of the satellite information file (e.g.,<br />

${X}/GEN/SATELLIT.I05, description in Section 22.4.5). The LEO satellite requires<br />

a PRN number between 901 and 999. The attitude flag has to be specified in the<br />

first section of the file (description at end of the file), satellite name – the same as<br />

the name in the station information file – as well as the sensor offsets, boresight and<br />

azimuth vectors in the satellite-fixed frame have to be specified in the second section<br />

(definition at end of the file). Some of the LEOs equipped with <strong>GPS</strong> receivers are<br />

already included in the satellite information file that may be downloaded from CODE<br />

(http://www.aiub.unibe.ch/download/BSWUSER50/GEN, see Section 4.12.1).<br />

• The phase center file (description in Section 22.4.4) must contain the antenna specified<br />

in the RINEX file or in section TYPE 002: STATION INFORMATION of the station<br />

information file. Frequency dependent phase center patterns (if available) and phase<br />

center offsets are taken from this file. Sensor offsets, on the other hand, are taken from<br />

the satellite information file. We refer to Section 16.2.4 for more details.<br />

• The receiver together with the corresponding code tracking information has to be<br />

included in the receiver information file (${X}/GEN/RECEIVER., description in Section<br />

22.4.3).<br />

• Due to technical reasons the coordinate file needs to contain an entry for the satellite<br />

(with the same name as in all other files). The coordinates may be zero. A coordinate<br />

file used, e.g., for CHAMP may thus look like<br />

• Before starting the LEO data processing, the parameter MAXAMB in<br />

${I}/P <strong>GPS</strong>EST.f90 and ${I}/M MAXDIM.f90 should be increased. Due to the<br />

fast changing constellation seen by a LEO, the number of ambiguities per day is<br />

much larger than for ground stations. We recommend to set at least MAXAMB = 600 to<br />

process a data set of 24 hours. This requires a complete compilation of the software<br />

using the COMPLINK command (see Sections 23.2.6 and 23.1.5).<br />
