GSOF message: Second Antenna VCV

This message describes the second antenna variance-covariance matrix information in the Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed (ECEF) frame. It contains the following data:

  • Position RMS

  • VCV xx

  • VCV xy

  • VCV xz

  • VCV yy

  • VCV yz

  • VCV zz

  • Unit variance

  • Number of epochs

  • Source for the solution of the second antenna

2 to 5

Position RMS

Float

 

The range residual RMS is the square root of the sum of the squares of the range residuals divided by the number of degrees of freedom in the solution.

6 to 9

VCV xx

Float

 

VCVxx through VCVzz is the variance-covariance matrix. This contains the positional components of the inverted normal matrix of the position solution in a ECEF WGS-84 reference.

VCV zz

Float

 

30 to 33

Unit variance

Float

 

The unit variance of the position solution.

34 to 35

Number of epochs

Short

 

Indicates the number of measurements used to calculate the position. Only “0” (zero) is expected since this antenna cannot be set with a STATIC constraint.
