In this paper, the impact of jamming on the reference station in carrier phase-based relative baseline solutions is examined. Several scenarios are investigated in order to assess the robustness of carrier phase-based positioning towards jamming. Among others, these scenarios include a varying baseline length, the use of single- versus dual-frequency observations, and the inclusion of the Galileo and GLONASS constellations to a GPS only solution. The investigations are based on observations recorded at physical reference stations in the Danish TAPAS network during actual jamming incidents, in order to realistically evaluate the impact of real-world jamming on carrier phase-based positioning accuracy. The analyses performed show that, while there are benefits of using observations from several frequencies and constellations in positioning solutions, special care must be taken in solution processing. The selection of which GNSS constellations and observations to include, as well as when they are included, is essential, as blindly adding more jamming-affected observations may lead to worse positioning accuracy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13142680","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,7]],"date-time":"2021-07-07T12:31:25Z","timestamp":1625661085000},"page":"2680","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Characterization of Carrier Phase-Based Positioning in Real-World Jamming Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7992-6089","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00f8ren Skaarup","family":"Larsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geodesy and Earth Observation, DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark, Elektrovej 328, 2800 Kgs Lyngby, Denmark"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8792-3646","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna B.
