Abstract

For the purpose of improving the accuracy of Wide Area Differential GNSS (WA-DGNSS), estimation performance of ionospheric delay error which has a great impact on GPS error sources should be enhanced. This paper applied multi-constellation GNSS which represents GPS in USA, GLONASS in Russia, and Galileo in Europe to WA-DGNSS algorithm in order to improve performance of ionospheric delay estimation. Furthermore, we conducted simulation to analyze ionospheric delay estimation performance in Korean region by increasing the number of reference stations. Consequently, using multi-constellation GNSS to improve performance of ionospheric delay estimation is more effective than increasing the number of reference stations in spite of similar number of measurements which are in use for estimation. We expect this result can contribute to improvement for ionospheric delay estimation performance of single-frequency SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) user.

광역보정시스템(WA-DGNSS; wide area differential GNSS)의 정확성을 향상시키기 위해서는 GPS 오차 요인 중 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 전리층 지연 오차에 대한 추정 성능이 향상되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 전리층 지연 추정 성능 향상을 위해 미국의 GPS, 러시아의 GLONASS, 유럽의 Galileo와 같은 각 국의 다양한 위성항법시스템을 통합하여 광역보정시스템 알고리즘에 적용해보았다. 그리고 기준국 수를 증가시키면서 한반도 지역의 전리층 지연 추정 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석해보았다. 그 결과 추정에 사용한 측정치의 수가 비슷함에도 불구하고 기준국 수를 증가시키기보다는 다중 위성항법을 사용하는 것이 전리층 지연 추정 성능 향상에 더 효과적임을 확인하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 단일 주파수 SBAS (satellite based augmentation system) 사용자의 전리층 지연 추정 성능을 향상시키기 위한 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
