Rapid precise point positioning ambiguity resolution (PPP-AR) is of great importance to improving precise positioning efficiency. There is an expectation that Galileo multi-frequency (three or more frequencies) data processing will offer a promising way to accelerate PPP-AR. However, the performance of different combination observables out of raw Galileo multi-frequency data is still unclear, and the adverse impacts of missing receiver antenna phase center corrections have not been quantified in detail. We therefore studied uncombined Galileo PPP-AR by contrasting three typical triple-frequency combinations, which are E1/E5a/E5b, E1/E5a/E6, and E1/E5/E6 signals, using 30 days of data from 15 stations across Australia. We carried out triple-frequency PPP-AR by separately applying the official GPS receiver antenna phase centers, as currently employed in most relevant literatures, as well as the pilot Galileo receiver antenna phase centers preliminarily measured by the International GNSS Service. We found that, compared to dual-frequency (E1/E5a) PPP-AR, triple-frequency PPP-AR based on E1/E5a/E5b signals shortened the convergence time by only 7.6%, while those based on E1/E5a/E6 and E1/E5/E6 increased unexpectedly the convergence time by 17.6% and 12.7%, respectively, if the GPS receiver antenna corrections were presumed for Galileo signals. However, after using the pilot Galileo phase center corrections, triple-frequency PPP-AR based on E1/E5a/E5b, E1/E5a/E6, and E1/E5/E6 signals could speed up the convergence on average by about 16.2%, 30.3%, and 17.7%, respectively. Therefore, we demonstrate the critical impact of correct Galileo receiver antenna phase centers on multi-frequency PPP-AR convergences. Moreover, the triple-frequency signal combination E1/E5a/E6 is advantageous over others in achieving rapid triple-frequency Galileo PPP-AR.
