Title:
POSITION MEASUREMENT METHOD, POSITION MEASUREMENT DEVICE, AND SATELLITE SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/209149
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
One problem associated with conventional satellite systems is the difficulty in reducing size and weight of a satellite. A position measurement method according to the present invention includes: observing, in a first satellite (11), phases of a plurality of carrier waves transmitted from a plurality of transmission stations and generating first observation data (S1); observing, in a second satellite (12), phases of the plurality of carrier waves and generating second observation data (S2); performing phase difference calculation for calculating phase difference between the plurality of carrier waves observed in the first satellite (11) and the second satellite (12) by using the first observation data and the second observation data (S5); and performing base line vector calculation for calculating a base line vector that indicates a relative position between the first satellite and the second satellite, on the basis of the phase difference calculated in the phase difference calculation (S6). The phase difference calculation and the base line vector calculation are performed by either the second satellite or a position measurement device disposed on earth.
