1. Introduction and Overview<br />

• built-in html-based help system,<br />

• new front-end for automatization (<strong>Bernese</strong> Processing Engine, BPE),<br />

• easy multi-session parallel processing,<br />

• Perl as BPE script language,<br />

• new, elaborate BPE examples for basic applications: RINEX-to-SINEX (doubledifference<br />

processing), comprehensive precise point positioning (also relying on IGS<br />

products), clock determination (zero-difference network processing),<br />

• precise orbit determination not only for <strong>GNSS</strong> but also for low Earth orbiting satellites<br />

(LEO),<br />

• <strong>GNSS</strong> satellite parameters available for complete constellation history,<br />

• sophisticated tool for efficient combination and manipulation of analysis results on<br />

the normal equations level (ADDNEQ2),<br />

• improved troposphere modeling,<br />

• unrestricted kinematic analysis capability,<br />

• IERS 2000 conventions compliance,<br />

• support of <strong>GNSS</strong> satellite antenna PCV patterns,<br />

• further refinements concerning, e.g., undifferenced processing, handling of pseudorange<br />

biases.<br />

1.2 Main Objectives and General Characteristics<br />

The <strong>Bernese</strong> <strong>GPS</strong> <strong>Software</strong>, <strong>Version</strong> <strong>5.0</strong> , continues in the tradition as a high performance,<br />

high accuracy, and highly flexible reference <strong>GPS</strong>/GLONASS (<strong>GNSS</strong>) post-processing package.<br />

State-of-the-art modeling, detailed control over all relevant processing options, powerful<br />

tools for automatization, the adherence to up-to-date, internationally adopted standards,<br />

and the inherent flexibility due to a highly modular design are characteristics of the <strong>Bernese</strong><br />

<strong>GPS</strong> <strong>Software</strong>.<br />

Typical users are:<br />

• scientists for research and education,<br />

• survey agencies responsible for high-accuracy <strong>GNSS</strong> surveys (e.g., first order networks),<br />

• agencies responsible to maintain arrays of permanent <strong>GPS</strong> receivers,<br />

• commercial users with complex applications demanding high accuracy, reliability, and<br />

high productivity.<br />

At the time of the release of this document about 400 institutions and universities on all<br />

continents are users of the <strong>Bernese</strong> <strong>GPS</strong> <strong>Software</strong> for a vast variety of applications.<br />

The <strong>Bernese</strong> <strong>GPS</strong> <strong>Software</strong> is particularly well suited for:<br />

• rapid processing of small-size single and dual frequency surveys,<br />

• automatic processing of permanent networks,<br />
