To evaluate the Doppler positioning performance of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, this paper analyzes the related errors and positioning performance of single-LEO navigation test satellite. Furthermore, the worldwide constellation Doppler positioning performance is analyzed in conjunction with low-orbit constellation simulation extrapolations. The results show that: ① The Doppler measurement error accuracy is at the decimetre level, which is more than one order of magnitude greater than the other error terms. Furthermore, the Doppler User Equivalent Range Rate Error (UERRE) accuracy of the comprehensive related error term is better than 0.27 m/s; ② The single-satellite Doppler positioning 3D error converges to 200 m in approximately eight minutes, with a post-convergence positioning accuracy of approximately 85 m. Furthermore, the single-star Doppler-equivalent PDOP eventually converges to around 200; ③ When the cut-off altitude angle is 10° or less and the cumulative observation time is 8 min or more, the global average of the constellation Doppler equivalent PDOP is superior to 28.8 m, the RMS is superior to 58.8 m, and better than 156.1 m on the 95%. Furthermore, the constellation Doppler positional accuracy (3D, 1σ) is superior to 7.8 m on average globally, and better than 15.9 m on the RMS, and better than 42.2 m on the 95%. The constellation Doppler-equivalent PDOP and positional accuracy are optimal at high latitudes, suboptimal at midlatitudes, and relatively poor at low latitudes.
