Because the Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) has three types of satellites in the geostationary orbit (GEO), inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO), and medium earth orbit (MEO) maneuvers occur more frequently. Thus, it is essential to determine an effective approach for the detection of orbital maneuvers. This study proposes a method for the detection of orbital maneuvers using epoch-differenced carrier phase observations and broadcast ephemeris data. When using the epoch-differenced velocity estimation as a basic data solution model, the time discrimination and satellite identification factors are defined and used for the real-time detection of the beginning and the pseudorandom noise code (PRN) of satellites. The datasets from four GNSS stations (WUH1, BJF1, POHN, CUT0) from the year 2016 were collected and analyzed. The validations showed that the beginning, the PRN of the orbital maneuver of the satellite can be precisely detected in real time for all GEO, IGSO, and MEO satellites, and the detected results also showed good consistency, with the beginning time at a difference of 1\u20132 min across different stations. The proposed approach was observed to be more sensitive, and the detected beginning time was about 30 min earlier than the single point positioning approach when the high-precision carrier phase observation was used. Thus, orbital maneuvering can be accurately detected by the proposed method. It not only improves the utilization of the collected data but also improves the performance of PNT services.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20164584","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,17]],"date-time":"2020-08-17T04:35:51Z","timestamp":1597638951000},"page":"4584","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Real-Time Detection of Orbital Maneuvers Using Epoch-Differenced Carrier Phase Observations and Broadcast Ephemeris Data: A Case Study of the BDS Dataset"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4706-5373","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Tu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Time Service Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shu Yuan Road, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Time and Frequency Primary Standards, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"},{"name":"School of Astronomy and Space Science, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yu Quan Road, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7322-2953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Time Service Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shu Yuan Road, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Time and Frequency Primary Standards, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lihong","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Time Service Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shu Yuan Road, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Time and Frequency Primary Standards, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8707-9297","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junqiang","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Time Service Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shu Yuan Road, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Time and Frequency Primary Standards, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pengfei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Time Service Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shu Yuan Road, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Time and Frequency Primary Standards, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaochun","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Time Service Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shu Yuan Road, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Time and Frequency Primary Standards, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xi\u2019an 710600, China"},{"name":"School of Astronomy and Space Science, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yu Quan Road, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"144","DOI":"10.1007\/s11430-013-4769-0","article-title":"Preliminary assessment of the navigation and positioning performance of BeiDou regional navigation satellite system","volume":"57","author":"Yang","year":"2014","journal-title":"Sci.
