ODTK general enhancements
Antenna phase center offsets for GNSS
ODTK now enables you to apply GNSS antenna phase center locations and variations using the IGS v1.4 ANTEX file. This is especially helpful when you use IGS-generated SP3 files.
GPS Nav Sol IOD
When using a GNSS Navigation Solution for an initial orbit determination, ODTK provides the following enhancements:
- Output now includes read-only attributes for minimum and maximum number of satellites available as well as the minimum and maximum geometric dilution of precision. You can use these as diagnostic metrics to evaluate the quality of the initial orbit determination (IOD) solution.
- The maximum time allowed between the requested IOD time and potential data points increased from 60 minutes to 120 minutes, adding flexibility to your selection.
Covariance for a second central body
You can now use ODTK’s CreateEphFileTool to generate relative covariance data with respect to an estimated target body that is different from the satellite's central body.
Importing and exporting objects
You can now import and export two or more objects either to or from ODTK at the same time.
Additional measurement processing
SB TDOA SBE: Initial geolocation of surface vehicles
ODTK now can process space-based TDOA from space-based emitter (SB TDOA SBE) measurements. This enables you to perform initial geolocation of surface vehicles.
Bistatic ground FDOA
You can now use bistatic ground FDOA as a measurement type in ODTK. This measurement type allows for the processing of TDOA measurements of signals emitted from a fixed, ground-based transmitter where one signal path is direct to a ground-based receiver and the other signal path reflects off a satellite.
SB one-way Doppler
ODTK can now process space-based, one-way Doppler measurements. This enables you to estimate relative clock frequency.
