Abstract
Asian Pacific Space Geodynamics (APSG) geodetic Very Long Baseline Interfero-metry (VLBI) observing sessions are being regularly performed to improve the accuracy of the geocentric coordinates of the participating stations in the Asia-Pacific region. Two small antennas, located at Jilin and Sanya, have been built and operated by the National Time Service Center (NTSC). They have a wide frequency coverage of 1.2-9.0 GHz and no standard geodetic recording mode available. We conducted mixed-mode observations with participation of those two NTSC stations in APSG40 and APSG46 experiments. The observational data have been correlated and analysed at Shanghai. For the first time we derived the coordinates of JILIN and SANYA at 1 cm level by means of geodetic VLBI technique. The difference of coordinates of JILIN station between two APSG experiments is about 2 cm if the comparison is made on the same epoch of observations. Here we present the experiment setup, data processing method and analysis results.
