RESUMO
This paper presents the performance analysis of CentiSpace low earth orbit (LEO) experiment satellites. Distinguishing them from other LEO navigation augmentation systems, the co-time and co-frequency (CCST) self-interference suppression technique is employed in CentiSpace to mitigate significant self-interference caused by augmentation signals. Consequently, CentiSpace exhibits the capability of receiving navigation signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) while simultaneously broadcasting augmentation signals within the same frequency bands, thus ensuring excellent compatibility for GNSS receivers. CentiSpace is a pioneering LEO navigation system to successfully complete in-orbit verification of this technique. Leveraging the on-board experiment data, this study analyzes the performance of space-borne GNSS receivers equipped with self-interference suppression and evaluates the quality of navigation augmentation signals. The results show that CentiSpace space-borne GNSS receivers are capable of covering more than 90% visible GNSS satellites and the precision of self-orbit determination is at the centimeter level. Furthermore, the quality of augmentation signals meets the requirements outlined in the BDS interface control documents. These findings underscore the potential of the CentiSpace LEO augmentation system for the establishment of global integrity monitoring and GNSS signal augmentation. Moreover, these results contribute to subsequent research on LEO augmentation techniques.
