The present Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can provide at least double-frequency observations, and especially the Galileo Navigation Satellite System (Galileo) can provide five-frequency observations for all constellation satellites. In this contribution, precision point positioning (PPP) models with Galileo E1, E5a, E5b, E5 and E6 frequency observations are established, including a dual-frequency (DF) ionospheric-free (IF) combination model, triple-frequency (TF) IF combination model, quad-frequency (QF) IF combination model, four five-frequency (FF) IF com-bination models and an FF uncombined (UC) model. The observation data of five stations for seven days are selected from the multi-GNSS experiment (MGEX) network, forming four time-frequency links ranging from 454.6 km to 5991.2 km. The positioning and time-frequency transfer performances of Galileo multi-frequency PPP are compared and evaluated using GBM (which denotes precise satellite orbit and clock bias products provided by Geo Forschung Zentrum (GFZ)), WUM (which denotes precise satellite orbit and clock bias products provided by Wuhan University (WHU)) and GRG (which denotes precise satellite orbit and clock bias products provided by the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES)) precise products. The results show that the performances of the DF, TF, QF and FF PPP models are basically the same, the frequency stabilities of most links can reach sub10−16 level at 120,000 s, and the average three-dimensional (3D) root mean square (RMS) of position and average frequency stability (120,000 s) can reach 1.82 cm and 1.18 × 10−15, respectively. The differences of 3D RMS among all models are within 0.17 cm, and the differences in frequency stabilities (in 120,000 s) among all models are within 0.08 × 10−15. Using the GRG precise product, the solution performance is slightly better than that of the GBM or WUM precise product, the average 3D RMS values obtained using the WUM and GRG precise products are 1.85 cm and 1.77 cm, respectively, and the average frequency stabilities at 120,000 s can reach 1.13 × 10−15 and 1.06 × 10−15, respectively.

According to Doppler effect of satellite on the time synchronization technology between satellite and the ground station, a real-time measurement method of Doppler is proposed based on GPS carrier signals. Using Doppler observations from GPS receiver, the method can real-timely measure Doppler frequency shift of GPS including dynamic Doppler and media Doppler whose error can be timely modified in the receiver end. Simulation results show that the frequency shift caused by dynamic Doppler, a main influencing factor in the course of transmission of time-frequency signal by GPS satellite, is between plus or minus several thousands Hz. Comparing to traditional measurement method of Doppler, the method makes it possible to fast track phase of signal in large dynamic range in synchronous technology.

Instantaneous speed (IS) is of great significance of fault diagnosis and condition monitoring of the high speed spindle. In this paper, we propose a novel zoom synchrosqueezing transform (ZST) for IS estimation of the high speed spindle. Due to the limitation of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the conventional time-frequency analysis (TFA) methods cannot provide both good time and frequency resolution at the whole frequency region. Moreover, in most cases, the interested frequency component of a signal only locates in a narrow frequency region, so there is no need to analyze the signal in the whole frequency region. Different from conventional TFA methods, the proposed method arms to analyze the signal in a specific frequency region with both excellent time and frequency resolution so as to obtain accurate instantaneous frequency (IF) estimation results. The proposed ZST is an improvement of the synchrosqueezing wavelet transform (SWT) and consists of two steps, i.e., the frequency-shift operation and the partial zoom synchrosqueezing operation. The frequency-shift operation is to shift the interested frequency component from the lower frequency region to the higher frequency to obtain better time resolution. The partial zoom synchrosqueezing operation is conducted to analyze the shifted signal with excellent frequency resolution in a considered frequency region. Compared with SWT, the proposed method can provide satisfactory energy concentrated time-frequency representation (TFR) and accurate IF estimation results. Additionally, an application of the proposed ZST to the IS fluctuation estimation of a motorized spindle was conducted, and the result showed that the IS estimated by the proposed ZST can be used to detect the quality of the finished workpiece surface.
