摘要

In recent years, the flex power of the global positioning system (GPS) Block IIR-M and Block IIF satellites has frequently been activated and deactivated. Ground-based GPS flex power monitoring faces several challenges, including uneven receiver distribution, multipath error arising from complex environments, and significant fluctuations in low-elevation carrier-to-noise ratio data. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel GPS flex power detection method by introducing a detection metric, CN0el. Spaceborne receiver data from 15 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites and historical data from February 2022 to December 2023 are utilized to train an extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) machine learning model. The detection model achieves an accuracy exceeding 99%, as validated by the measured data from January and February 2024. These findings demonstrate that integrating XGBoost machine learning with LEO satellite data offers a highly effective solution for GPS flex power detection.
