Among the current navigation satellites, a dual one-way ranging (DOWR) approach based on intersatellite links (ISLs) is widely adopted in the BeiDou system and global positioning system (GPS) to transmit satellite time reference information. However, the accuracy of DOWR is restricted by the pseudonoise (PN) code rate. To improve the accuracy of DOWR, the PN code measurement must be replaced by the carrier phase measurement. This paper introduces an algorithm that utilizes frequency hopping to achieve carrier phase ranging. In addition to the high-precision advantages of carrier phase measurements, the anti-interference performance of the ranging signal is also improved due to the characteristics of the frequency hopping signal itself. Ultimately, at a carrier-to-noise ratio of 40 dB-Hz, the measurement accuracy is 9.54 \u03bcm, while the PN code measurement accuracy in the same environment is 0.13 m. As the carrier-to-noise ratio increases, the measurement accuracy further improves.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16101694","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]],"date-time":"2024-05-10T05:25:47Z","timestamp":1715318747000},"page":"1694","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Carrier Phase Dual One-Way Ranging Method Based on a Frequency Hopping Signal"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jiebin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100080, China"}]},{"given":"Wenquan","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100080, China"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100080, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenhua","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Space Technology, Beijing 100080, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"367","DOI":"10.1017\/S0373463314000617","article-title":"Navigation Performance of the Libration Point Satellite Navigation System in Cislunar Space","volume":"68","author":"Zhang","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
