Since its introduction in 1990s, the GPS Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technique has been widely used for many high precision positioning applications such as the study of tectonic plate motion, establishment of national and regional reference frames and so on. Among the GPS PPP software packages, the GIPSY-OASIS II software package is the one of the most popular software package used by many research institutes worldwide. The processing of GPS data with the GIPSY-OASIS II software requires three main steps. The first step is to compute a daily GPS solution for each station and the second step is to combine daily GPS solutions into a multi-day averaged solution. The final step is to transform these multi-day averaged solutions into the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) coordinate solution and this step generally requires the use of available International GNSS service (IGS) stations to compute the required transformation parameters. In order to obtain high precision ITRF coordinate solutions, an investigation on a selection of IGS stations used for aligning the multi-day averaged solution into ITRF is therefore needed. This study aims to investigate the effect of number of IGS stations used for aligning the multi-day averaged solutions into the final ITRF coordinate solution in Thai region. Data from two different GPS campaigns (with epochs before and after the 2004 SumatraAndaman earthquake) measured by the Royal Thai Survey Department (RTSD) were used in this investigation. By varying the number of IGS station used in the alignment step, results indicate that the use of at least 16 IGS stations in the alignment process can produce reliable and accurate ITRF solutions especially those impacted by the large earthquake.

This research aims to assess the performance of GPS Precise Point Positioning (PPP) with code and carrier phase observations from L1 signal collected from geodetic GPS receiver around the world. A simple PPP software developed for processing the single frequency GPS data is used as a main tool to assess a positioning accuracy. The precise orbit and precise satellite clock corrections were introduced into the software to reduce the orbit and satellite clock errors, while ionosphere-free code and phase observations were constructed to mitigate the ionospheric delay. The remaining errors (i.e. receiver clock error, ambiguity term) are estimated using Extended Kalman Filter technique. The data retrieved from 5 IGS stations located in different countries were used in this study. In addition, three different periods of data were downloaded for each station. The obtained data were then cut into 5-min, 10-min, 15-min and 30-min data segments, and each data segment was individually processed with the developed PPP software to produce final coordinates. Results indicate that the use of 5-min data span can provide a horizontal positioning accuracy at the same level as a pseudorange-based differential GPS technique. Furthermore, results confirm effects of station location and seasonal variation on obtainable accuracies.
