Abstract
This letter shows the first carrier phase tracking and positioning results with Starlink’s low earth orbit (LEO) satellite signals. An adaptive Kalman filter based algorithm for tracking the beat carrier phase from the unknown Starlink signals is proposed. Experimental results show carrier phase tracking of six Starlink satellites and a horizontal positioning error of 7.7 m with known receiver altitude.
