Many researches on the GNSS integer ambiguity resolution methods for precise positioning and attitude determination applications have been done. However, by the time invariant property of the integer ambiguity, the reuse of integer ambiguity without performing time consuming integer search procedure is possible. In this paper, a new efficient integer ambiguity propagation method is proposed. The initial integer ambiguity can be determined using the famous LAMBDA method and it is propagated with the propagation method. The proposed method can reconfigure the integer ambiguity using the previous epoch's integer ambiguity and new carrier phase measurements under environmental variations such as geometry changes, signal blockage and reacquisition. Experiments with real measurements show the proposed method can determine an integer ambiguity effectively.

It is necessary to resolve integer ambiguity in GPS carrier based precise positioning. If there is no signal blockage or cycle slip, the integer ambiguity does not changed. however, signal blockage and cycle slip occur frequently under real operational environment. under this situation, integer ambiguity maintenance is indispensable for continuity of navigation information. In this paper, a cycle slip free technique is proposed for simplifying integer ambiguity maintenance procedure. this technique tested with simulated carrier phase signal with cycle slip aided intentionally. As a result, the proposed technique can give navigation information continuously even if cycle slip is occured.

In this paper, an algorithm for retrieving soil moisture from measurement of microwave reflection at the end of a coaxial canble is presented. Because the wave reflection from the boundary between air and soil layers depends on the dielectric constant of the soil layer, the dielectric constant can be obtained from measured reflection coefficient. At first, an equivalent circuit for the coaxial probe contaced on the soil surface was chosen with two unknown circuit elements. Then, the unknown circuit elements are obtained experrmentally by measuring the reflection constants of 20 soil samples, and consequently, an empirical formula for computing the dielectric constant from the reflection coefficient is obtained. The dielectric constant is mainly influenced by the soil moisture, and the soil moisture can be computed from the dielecfic constant using an existing empirical formula. HP Network Analyzer 8510C was used to measure the magnitude and the phase of the reflection coeffcient at 4.65 GHz, and the measured data set were used to obtain an empirical formula for computing the dielectric constant. The empirical formula obtained in this study was proven by other soil samples.

현재 GPS를 이용한 위성측위시스템은 기존의 DGPS에 의한 정밀도 향상 차원을 넘어 상시관측소를 활용한 기준국의 활용 증대 및 다양한 동시 사용자의 욕구를 충족시키기 위해 여러 가지 연구들이 진행되고 있다 현재 국내 연구동향으로 VRS-RTK (Virtual Reference Station Real Time Kinematic)에 대한 기초 연구가 진행 중에 있으며 해양수산부의 전파를 이용한 비콘 방식과 표준과학연구원 천문대에서는 MBC와 연계한 FM-DARC(Data Radio Channel)방식 등이 활용 방안으로 준비중에 있으며, 여러 기관과 대학 연구 기관에서 기초 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 따라서 이미 독일, 싱가폴, 일본 등에서 활용하고 있는 VRS의 연구를 보다 심화하여 현재 각기 다른 기관에서 보유하고 있는 70여개의 GPS 상시관측소의 효율적인 활용과 대 국민 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 시스템이 절실히 필요한 시기이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이런 가상관측의 결과를 산출할 수 있는 통계학적 모델링을 통한 가상관측 보정값을 산출할 수 있는 보정값을 제시할 수 있는 알고리즘 개발에 그 목적이 있다. 향후 알고리즘 개발이 완료되면 통계학적 모델링을 통해 단일 기준점에 의한 GPS 측량에서 불가능한 위치 결정 네트웍의 가상 관측을 가능하게 할 것이며, 신뢰성 있는 미지정수 해를 만들 수 있을 것이다.

This paper proposes a detection method for irregularity of ionospheric delay in network RTK (Real Time Kinematic) Environment. The linearity of network RTK correction provided to user can't be assured when a characteristic of temporal-spatial of ionospheric delay is rapidly changed due to geomagnetic storm or solar flare. Therefore, incorrect ambiguity can be resolved and positioning error can be increased. A detection method for irregularity of ionospheric delay is needed to provide reliable correction. In this paper, index to detect irregularity of ionospheric delay is calculated from dispersive corrections and occurrence of irregularity is judged by comparing index and thresholds.
