Comment on the three main differenced data solutions. What parameters
are adjusted? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each solution?
Discuss the role that "ambiguity resolution" plays in conventional
static GPS and "modern GPS surveying". What impact does it have
on baseline accuracy?
Discuss the factors that influence ambiguity resolution (whether it
can occur or not). What are some of the strategies that can be employed
to overcome some of these problems?
List and comment on the indicators of quality that can be gleened
from the output list file. What steps would you follow to determine whether
a baseline solution is of acceptable quality?
Describe the basic steps in the ambiguity resolution process. How
can each of them be improved?
Describe the process of searching through candidate ambiguity sets
in order to find the "best" set. How does one measure the "reliability"
of this process?
Discuss the steps of ambiguity resolution for "modern GPS surveying"
techniques. Comment on how the definition of the apriori ambiguity values
and the search procedures have been improved.
Describe the basis of the Ambiguity Function Method. What are some
of its advantages and disadvantages?
