Based on the methods of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite orbit determination and inter-satellite single-difference ambiguity resolution, this paper utilizes uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) and observable-specific signal bias (OSB) products to achieve precise orbit determination for eight LEO satellites, namely GRACE-C/D, SWARM-A/B/C, and SENTINEL-3A/3B/6A, and evaluates the impact of these two products on orbit determination accuracy. The results indicate that both products achieve a nearly 100% fixed rate for wide-lane ambiguities; except for the GRACE satellites, which have a narrow-lane fixed rate of approximately 85%, the remaining satellites achieve rates close to 95%. Ambiguity resolution significantly enhances orbit determination accuracy, with the fixed solutions obtained using UPD and OSB products showing comparable three-dimensional accuracy, reaching 1.5 cm, 1.7 cm, and 0.9 cm for the GRACE-FO, SWARM, and SENTINEL series satellites, respectively, representing improvements of up to 50% compared to the float solutions. Additionally, a multi-system analysis of the SENTINEL-6A satellite reveals that the fixed solution accuracy for the combined GPS/Galileo orbit determination is 0.9 cm, representing improvements of 10% and 18% compared to single-GPS and single-Galileo systems, respectively. This study confirms that ambiguity resolution can effectively improve the orbit determination accuracy of LEO satellites and provides a reference for future research on orbit determination for large-scale LEO constellations.
