Inclined geosynchronous orbit ( IGS0 ) satellite is one of the important components of BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System ( BDS-3 ), with strong signal resistance and occlusion ability, especially inlow latitudes , its performance advantages are obvious. To study the influence of IGS0 satellites on tropospheric parameter estimation, firstly, six MGEX (multi-GNSS experiment) tracking stations in the Asia-Pacific region were selected. Secondly, GAMIT10.71 was used to study the effects of different elevationmask angle ( EMA) at low levels of solar activity and the estimation of tropospheric parameters of IGSOsatellites at high levels of solar activity. Finally, it is divided based on different solar activity levels andEMAs, and its causes are discussed. The experimental results show that when the solar activity level islow and the EMA range is within 10°, the IGS0 satellite has the greatest influence of zenith wet delay(ZWD), precipitable water (PW), north-south gradient ( NS) and east-west gradient (Ew ), re-spectively 20. 70 mm, 3. 35 mm, 30. 12 mm and 31.89 mm; When EMAs range from 10 ~20°, the im-pact of lGS0 satellites on tropospheric estimation is positively correlated with EMA. At high levels of so-lar activity and an EMA of 10°, IGS0 satellites have a greater impact on the estimation of troposphericparameters, with the maximum influence of tropospheric ZWD, Pw, NS.. and EW reaching38.60 mm, 6. 23 mm, 53. 57 mm and 53. 20 mm, respectively. The experimental results further showthat the influence of the lGS0 satellite on the estimation of tropospheric parameters at night is much high-er than during the day, and the effect is higher at low latitudes than in high latitudes.
