항공용 지역위성항법 보강시스템(Ground Based Augmentation System, GBAS)은 지상에서 위성항법시스템에 대한 위치보정정보와 무결성 정보를 생성 및 제공하여 공항 주변 항공기의 정밀 이착륙을 돕는 지상기반의 시스템이다. 이 시스템은 기본적으로 위성항법신호를 사용하기 때문에 전리층 영향을 받게 되는데 특히 전리층 폭풍(Ionospheric storm)의 경우 공간적으로 급격한 위치오차 차이를 발생시키기 때문에 안정적인 항공기의 정밀이착륙을 위해서는 전리층 폭풍의 영향을 최소화 하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위하여 현재 항공용 지역위성항법 보강시스템의 지상시스템(Ground Facility)과 항공기 탑재시스템에서의 전리층 폭풍에 대한 정확한 감시와 전리층 폭풍의 지배적 영향을 받는 위상항법신호를 제거하거나 보완하는 방식 등 전리층 폭풍의 영향을 최소화하기 위한 기법들이 계속해서 연구 중이다. 이 논문에서는 2001년과 2003년 미국에서 발생한 전리층 폭풍에 대한 위성항법데이터 분석 결과와 기존의 연구결과를 기반으로 전리층 폭풍에 대한 모델링과 지상시스템과 항공기 간의 공간적 상이현상(Spacial decorrelation)을 고려하여 전리층 폭풍이 항공기 이착륙에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석 결과를 제시한다. 전리층 폭풍에 대한 수학적 모델링을 하기 위해서는 전리층 폭풍의 물리적 특성에 대한 이해와 전리층 폭풍 발생 시 획득한 위성항법 데이터를 이용한 통계학적 분석이 선행되며 이러한 분석결과와 항공기 이착륙에 절차를 반영하여 항공기에 미치는 영향 분석을 위한 수학적 모델을 완성하였다. 완성된 모델을 국내 공항에서 실제 비행시험을 통하여 획득한 위성항법데이터에 적용하여 전리층 폭풍이 국내 공항에서 항공기 이착륙에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하였다. 또한, 대표적 전리층 폭풍 감지기법 중 하나인 Code-Carrier Divergence Test 알고리즘을 적용한 결과도 함께 제시하였다. 이 논문의 결과는 항공용 지역위성항법 보강시스템에 대한 전리층 폭풍의 영향을 최소화하기 위한 기법 연구의 기반이 되며 시스템의 성능평가를 위한 다양한 시뮬레이션환경의 하나로서도 활용이 가능할 것이다.

Civil global navigation satellite system (GNSS) does not meet user performance requirements for specific PNT (Positioning, Navigation, and Time) applications. Therefore, various differential systems are used to augment GNSS for improving positioning accuracy and integrity. The MTSAT satellite augmentation system (MSAS) is the Japanese satellite based augmentation system. This paper is for analyzing the characteristics of Japanese MSAS in Korean peninsula. First of all, it was done for analyzing not only DGNSS navigation signal but also the navigation parameter through simulation and experimental tests. As a result of data analyses, the sufficient navigation satellites to determine 3-D position based on DGNSS are simultaneously available at MSAS monitering station and the southern region of Korean peninsula. It was verified that the carrier to noise signals are stable to maintain the reliable 3-D position and that the level of 2m (2drms) accuracy is very similar to the ordinary worldwide DGNSS as well.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) like US Global Positioning System (GPS) and EU Galileo are based on providing precise time and frequency synchronized ranging signals. Because of the exploitation of very precise timing signals these GNSS are used to provide both navigation and time distribution services. Moreover, because the positioning accuracy will improve as more satellites become available, we should expect that a combination of Galileo and GPS will provide better performance than those of both systems separately. However, Galileo will not use the same time reference as GPS and thus, a time difference arises - the GPS-Galileo Time Offset (GGTO). The navigation solution calculated by receivers using signals from both navigation systems will consequently contain a supplementary error if the GGTO is not accounted for. In this paper, we compared GPS Time (GPST) with Galileo Sytem Time (GST) and analyzed the effects of GGTO on positioning accuracy by simulation test. And then we also analyzed the characteristics of two representative GGTO correction methods such as the navigation message based method at system level and the estimation method at user level and propose the conceptual design of the novel correction method being capable of preventing previous method's problems.

A GPS based wave height meter system is proposed in this paper. The proposed system uses a dual-frequency measurements, a precise GPS satellite information and a PPP-based navigation algorithm to estimate the position with high accuracy. This method does not need to receive corrections from the reference stations. Therefore, unlike RTK based wave meter, regardless of the distance to the reference stations, it is possible to estimate position with high accuracy. This system is very simple and accurate system, but accelerometer-based system requires the other sensors such as GPS. Because position error is accumulated in the accelerometer system and must be removed periodically for high accuracy. In order to get the measurements and test the proposed wave height meter system, a buoy equipped with the test platform is installed on the sea near by Jukbyeon habor in Uljin, Korea. Then, to evaluate the performance, compares built-in commercial wave height meter with proposed system.

To guide the guiding robot for the visually impaired carefully, the digital map to be used to search a path must be detailed and has some information about dangerous spots. It also has to search not only safe but also short path through the position data by GPS and INS sensors. In this paper, as the difference of the ability that the visually unpaired can recognize, we have developed the localization tracking system so that it can make a movement path and verify position information, and the global navigation system for the visually impaired using the GPS and INS. This system can be used when the visually impaired move short path relatively. We had also verified that the system was able to correct the position as the assistant navigation system of the GPS on the outside.

Space-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), which is one of the GPS augmentation systems, is a Wide-Area Differential GPS that provides differential GPS corrections and integrity data. In this study, we did performance analysis of kinematic SBAS surveying by conducting Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), DGPS, standalone, and SBAS surveys. Considering static survey results as truth, 2-D Root Mean Square (RMS) error and 3-D RMS error were computed to evaluate the positioning accuracy of each survey method. As a result, the 3-D positioning error of RTK was 13.1cm, DGPS 126.0cm, standalone (L1/L2) 135.7cm, standalone (C/A) 428.9cm, and SBAS 109.2cm. The results showed that the positioning accuracy of SBAS was comparable to that of DGPS.

Unlike OSR(observation space representation), the SSR(state space representation) augmentation system is suitable for a one-way broadcasting service because it provides the same corrections to all users in the service area. Due to this advantage, several GNSS(global navigation system) systems such as Galileo, BDS(beidou navigation satellite system), QZSS(quasi zenith satellite system) are establishing PPP (precise point positioning)/PPP-RTK precision positioning services based on SSR messages. Therefore, in this paper, we try to understand the trends of satellite-based PPP/PPP-RTK correction services by analyzing the system configurations, characteristics, and precise positioning performance of satellite-based SSR correction broadcasting services.

There are several ways such as GPS(Global Positioning System) and INS (Inertial Navigation System) to track the location of moving vehicle. The GPS has the advantages of having non-accumulative error even if it brings about errors. In order to obtain the position information, we need to receive at least 3 satellites information. But, the weak point is that GPS is not useful when the 혠 signal is weak or it is in the incommunicable region such as tunnel. In the case of INS, the information of the position and posture of mobile with several Hz~several hundreds Hz data speed is recorded for velocity, direction. INS shows a very precise navigational performance for a short period, but it has the disadvantage of increasing velocity components because of the accumulated error during integration over time. In this paper, sensor fusion algorithm is applied to both of INS and GPS for the position information to overcome the drawbacks. The proposed system gets an accurate position information from experiment using SVD in a non-accessible GPS terrain.
