In order to prepare for increasing performance requirement for Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) services of International Maritime Organization (IMO) and International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA), this paper focuses on design of network-based Automatic Identification System (AIS) reference station system that can perform the functionality of Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) reference station in an AIS base station system. AIS base station receives the differential corrections from the DGPS reference station, and it is not a method for transmitting the received differential corrections to onboard AIS units, but it is a method for generating the optimized differential corrections for onboard AIS units in AIS coverage. Therefore this paper proposes an algorithm for generating the differential corrections at AIS reference station, and performs the performance assessment of the proposed algorithm based on DGPS correction data measured from a DGPS reference station. Finally this paper discusses the test results and efficiency of the proposed system.

Wide area differential GNSS(WA-DGNSS) collects GPS measurements from the several reference stations and estimates 3-D satellite orbit error, satellite clock error, ionospheric delay. These correction messages are broadcasted to user, then user can have more accurate and reliable position estimates. The performance of WA-DGPS can be changed depending on the position of reference stations. To select proper reference stations, performance analysis with the change of reference stations is necessary. In this paper, changing the geographical location of reference stations, we carried out simulation based test and show the performance of WA-DGNSS in Korea.

A new adaptive filter is proposed for an aided strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS). The proposed filter can be used to effectively estimate the time-varying variance of the measurement noise. Then, the in-flight alignment for the radar aided SDINS is designed using the additive quatermion error model. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive filter effectively improves the performance of the radar aided SDINS.

In this paper, we describe a compensation method of diurnal effect which is one of the factors giving large effect on the performance when using ground-wave signals like Loran-C for a backup and substitute navigation system of global satellite navigation system such as GPS, and currently many researches of the topics are doing in USA and in Europe. In order to compensate diurnal effect, we find periodic frequency components by using the Least Square Spectral Analysis (LSSA) method at first and then compensate the effect by subtracting the estimated compensation signal, obtained by using the estimated amplitude and phase of the individual frequency component, from the original signal. In this paper, we propose a simple compensation algorithm and analysis the performance through simulations. From the results, it is observed that the amplitude and phase can be estimated with under 5 % and 0.17 % in a somewhat poor receiving situation with 0 dB Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). Also, we analyze the obtainable performance improvement after compensation by using the measured Loran-C data. From the results, it is observed that we can get about 22 % performance improvement when a moving average with 5 minutes interval is employed.

A GPS/INS system is widely used in the UGV to estimate position during the mission. However, there are few restrictions when a GPS/INS system used alone. For example, GPS provides precise location information but easily interrupted by external factors like weather, environment, etc. INS provides continuous location data but positioning errors grew very rapidly with time. Therefore, it is necessary to integrating multi-sensors for more continuous and correct position estimation. In this paper, we propose location estimation algorithm of the UGV for GPS/INS integrated system that combines Fuzzy Inference and Unscented Particle Filter(UPF) to improve navigation. Fuzzy inference provides the simplest method integrating GPS/INS and UPF is non-linear estimation filter well suited to the correction of errors. The performance of the proposed algorithm was tested to compare with other algorithms. the results show that the proposed algorithm is more accuracy in position estimation and ensures continuous position tracking.

In this paper, we deal with a real time implementation of the integrated image-based navigation parameter extraction system using the TMS320C80 MVP(multimedia video processor). Our system consists of relative position estimation and absolute position compensation, which is further divided into high-resolution aerial image matching, DEM(Digital elevation model) matching, and IRS (Indian remote sensing) satellite image matching. Those algorithms are implemented in real time using the MVP. To achieve a real-time operation, an attempt is made to partition the aerial image and process the partitioned images in parallel using the four parallel processors in the MVP. We also examine the performance of the implemented integrated system in terms of the estimation accuracy, confirming a proper operation of the our system.

This paper focuses on development status of eLoran system which is an representative backup PNT system in order to overcome the vulnerability of GNSS signals by radio frequency interference such as jamming. eLoran testbed system consists of new transmitting system for amplifying the signal through signal generation and modulation, differential Loran (dLoran) reference stations for calculating the signal errors received from transmitters, an integrated operation and control system (IOCS) for eLoran service. Therefore we present the configuration of testbed architecture for trial operation of eLoran service and the development status, and discuss about the next step toward backup PNT service using eLoran system.

오늘날 위성항법, 위성통신을 이용한 항공항법감시의 새로운 변화 가운데 국제민간항공기구(ICAO)에서 VDL(VHF Digital Link) Mode 4로 채택된 STDMA (Self-organized Time Division Multiple Access)에 관심이 증대되고 있다. 해양분야에서는 선박위치 자동인식시스템(AIS) 및 선박운행관리시스템(VTS)에서 2002년부터 적용될 예정이고, 항공분야에서는 향후 몇 년후에는 ADS-B, SMGCS에서 응용될 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 STDMA를 이용한 SMGCS구현을 위한 기술개발로서 사전에 측지된 기준국으로부터 실시간으로 GPS 보정값을 생성, 전송하도록 하는 실시간 DGPS기술과 동기신호에 따라 시분할 다중접속을 구현한 소프트웨어 기반의 TDMA기술을 구현하였으며 이를 연구원내에서 차량이동 실험을 수행하여 다수의 이동국간에 측위값을 상호전송함으로써 각각의 위치를 실기간으로 파악할 수 있음을 보였다.

eLoran 시스템에서 보다 높은 정확도로 시각 및 위치 정보를 제공하기 위해 별도의 데이터 채널인 Loran Data Channel (LDC)를 사용한다. LDC 메시지는 기존의 8개의 Loran 펄스 중 항법에 사용하지 않는 3-8번째 펄스의 전송시각을 변조하여 송출하는 Eurofix 방식과 9번째 추가 펄스를 이용해 데이터를 변조하는 9^th 펄스 방식으로 변조될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 eLoran 송신국에서 송출하는 LDC 메시지의 변조방법에 따른 수신 성능을 분석한다. 인천에서 운영 중인 eLoran 시험 송신국에서 9^th 펄스 변조방법과 Eurofix 변조방법으로 동시에 LDC 메시지를 송출할 수 있도록 설정하고, 인천과 평택의 eLoran 보정기준국의 데이터베이스 내 저장된 LDC 메시지를 분석해 변조방법에 따른 LDC 메시지 수신률을 분석한다. 또한 항로표지 관리선 인성 1호를 이용해 인천항 인근에서 실제 사용자의 LDC 메시지 수신률을 분석하였다. 본 연구결과는 eLoran 시범서비스 이후 본격적인 서비스 과정에서 중요하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
