The DGPS reference station is a national infrastructure generating GPS correctional information and transmitting the signal for Differential GPS. Currently, Korea has applied and operated the software-based DGPS reference station as a standard of the next generation proposed by the USCG in order to improve the hardware-based DGPS reference system. However, software-based DGPS reference station proposed by USCG was changed in software method, only for form. There is no advantage to changing software-based because the most critical part of architecture has not been improved. In this paper, we have designed a new software-based marine DGPS station architecture that a reference station software and a monitor station were integrated. The new marine DGPS station architecture based on software is a more simplified structure than it used to be and can be utilized in the DGPS reference station.
