Abstract

The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) broadcasts to users integrity and correction information for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) such as GPS and GLONASS using geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites. In accordance with the recommendation of the International Civilian Aeronautical Organization (ICAO) to introduce SBAS until 2025, a Korean SBAS system development / construction project is underway with the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) is a high precision GPS correction system which is composed of KASS Reference Station (KRS), KASS Processing Station (KPS), KASS Uplink Station (KUS), KASS Control Station (KCS) and GEO satellites. In this paper, we provided the conceptual design of the KASS uplink station, which is composed of the Signal Generator Section (SGS) and the Radio-Frequency Section (RFS), and interface between the KASS ground sector and the GEO satellite.

위성항법보강시스템 (Satellite Based Augmentation System; SBAS)은 정지궤도(GEO) 위성들을 이용하여 GPS, GLONASS 등의 위성항법시스템 (Global Navigation Satellite System; GNSS) 사용자들에게 무결성 데이터 및 정정 데이터를 방송하는 데 목적이 있다. 국제민간항공기구 (International Civilian Aeronautical Organization; ICAO)의 2025년까지 SBAS 도입 권고에 따라, 국토교통부 사업으로 한국형 SBAS 시스템 개발/구축 사업이 진행 중에 있다. 한국형 위성항법보강시스템인 KASS(Korea Augmentation Satellite System)는 초정밀 GPS 오차보정시스템으로, 기준국(KASS Reference Station; KRS), 중앙처리국(KASS Processing Station; KPS), 위성통신국(KASS Uplink Station; KUS) 및 통합운영국(KASS Control Station; KCS)으로 구성된 지상시스템과 GEO 위성으로 이루어져 있다. 본 논문에서는 KASS 지상 부문과 GEO 위성간의 연동 역할을 하며 신호생성부(Signal Generator Section; SGS)와 RF부(Radio-Frequency Section; RFS)로 구성된 KASS 위성통신국에 대해 개념적 설계를 하였다.
