the ITRF (at present the ITRF2005
is used). The results are also
expressed in the (user defined)
geodetic datum (λ, β, h).
Station Velocities In program ADDNEQ2 station
velocities may be set up if a long
time series of NEQ systems
containing the same stations is
available.
No Yes Ch. 10
Epoch specific sta- A set of station coordinates is Yes No Ch. 10
tion coordinates assigned to each epoch (kinematic
surveys).
Receiver Clock Estimation using code and phase Yes No Ch. 14
Corrections zero-difference data (e.g., for time
transfer) relative to a reference
clock.
Satellite Clock Cor- Estimation using code and phase Yes No Ch. 14

receivers and satellites. Also
multipliers to verify the tracking
technology of a receiver may be
estimated.
Phase Ambiguities One initial phase ambiguity
parameter has to be assigned to
each (linearly independent) double
difference. Resolved ambiguities may
be introduced in subsequent
program runs.

Receiver Antenna Antenna phase center variations Yes No Ch. 16
Phase Center may be modeled using different
Variations techniques. Model parameters may
be determined.
