선박의 항해 도중 GPS 위성을 이용하여 위치를 추정하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 재밍으로 인하여 항해 중에 간헐적인 GPS 신호의 획득은 가능하나 지속적인 신호 추적이 불가하여 GPS 위성의 코드 위상 측정치만 얻을 수 있는 상황을 가정하였다. 동 시간대의 기준국에서 수신한 항법 메시지와 신호 획득 과정에서 측정된 코드 위상 만을 이용하여 GPS C/A 코드의 반복 횟수를 정확히 추정하고 대략적인 위치 해를 계산하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다.

GPS is a representative satellite navigation system that provides users with accurate location and time information. GPS L1 C / A is opened for civilian and thus utilized in various fields. When the satellite signal reaches the receiver, signal acquisition unit of the digital signal processing hardware searches and acquires the signal among visible satellites. The signal acquisition unit has different implementation methods depending on the signal searching method, such as serial search acquisition, parallel frequency search, parallel code phase search. In this paper, we compare and analyze the three representative acquisition hardwares using live GPS L1 C/A signals. According to the comparison, the parallel code phase search acquisition outperforms the other methods due to reduction of the number of the searchings and a high resolution.

The United States will proceed with the effort to modernize the GPS system, and one of its main content is to provide L5 signal. L5 will be transmitted in a radio band reserved exclusively for aviation safety services. And, L5, in combination with L1, will improve the position accuracy via ionospheric correction and robustness via signal redundancy. However, The acquisition processing time of L5 takes longer than that of L1 as the code length of L5 is 10 times longer than that of L1. To reduce this acquisition processing time, a higher number of correlators in the aquisition module should be used. However, there is a problem that this causes increase in the complexity of the correlator configuration and the computation power. So, in this paper, we propose L5 signal tracking scheme using tracking results in the GPS L1/L5 receiver. The proposed scheme could reduce the hardware complexity as the GPS L5 signal acquisition module is not needed, and provide fast and stable tracking of L5 signal by aiding L1 tracking results such as PRN, the code phase synchronization, and the Doppler frequency. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through simulation results.

In the presence of spoofing signal the GPS signal having the same PRN with the spoofer is hard to be acquired since the power of spoofing signal is usually stronger than that of GPS signal. If a spoofing signal exists for the same PRN, there are double peaks in two-dimensional space of frequency and code phase in acquisition stage. Using double peak information it is possible to detect spoofing signal and acquire GPS information through separate channel tracking. In this paper we introduce an anti-spoofing method using double peak detection, and thus can acquire GPS navigation data after two-channel tracking for the same PRN as the spoofing signal.

This paper analyzed GNSS signal acquisition performance of a regional navigation receiver when an interference cancellation capability is applied. Intereference between the regional navigation and GNSS signal can be mitigated by the interference cancellation technique such as the successive interference cancellation (SIC) algorithm. However signal acquisition performance will be degraded when jamming-to-signal ratio (J/S) is large due to a cross-correlation properties of residual signals. In this paper we analyzed signal acquisition performance degradation due to the interference between the Kasami and GNSS Gold code signal. Monte Carlo simulation is used for the analysis and compared results with those of GNSS Gold code only condition.

The public regulated restriction signals are encrypted generally with the very long period code in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including Global positioning system (GPS). Unlike civilian navigation signals, the long period code is used for the security enhancement purpose. The navigation signals with the long period code are very difficult to acquire due to their own non-periodic characteristics. The application of Acquisition Code (AC) is required for the proper working of the long period navigation signals. In this paper, we present the design and analysis results of the navigation signal with acquisition code. Specifically, the acquisition performance and Time To First Acquisition (TTFA) are presented analytically. In the process of the navigation signal design, we include AC length, insertion pattern, code rate, and filter effects. Also, the navigation signal receiving process include the effects of Side Band Filter (SBF), doppler frequency and code phase errors. The indicators that used to evaluate navigation signal acquisition performance are the detectability and TTFA.

In this paper, we analysis the effect of error of code tracking and frequency tracking according to the chip delay of spoofing signal through the simulation. Firstly, we investigate the type of spoofing signal and defense technical of spoofing attack. For simulation, we generated the intermediate spoofing signal using the software GNSS signal generator simulator(SGGS), the intermediate spoofers synchronize its counterfeit GPS signals with the current broadcast GPS signals. The software GPS receiver simulator(SGRS) received the spoofing signal and normal signal from SGGS, and process the signals. In paper, we can check that the DLL and PLL tracking loop error are generated and pseudo-range is changed non-linear according to chip delay of spoofing signal when the spoofing signal is entered. As a result, we can check that navigation solution is incorrectly effected by spoofing signal.

This paper considers the evaluation of the hybrid acquistion perdformance for the pilot signal in the direct sequence code division multiple access(DS/CDMA) forward link. the hybrid acquisition is introduced by the combination of two schemes, the parallel and serial acquisions. The mean acquisition time of the proposed scheme is derived to consider both the best case(the correct code-phase offsets are included i one subset) and the worst case(the correct code-phase offsets exist at the boundary of two subsets), which are cause by the distribution of the correct code-phase offsets in the subset. Expressions for the detection, false alarm, and miss probabilities are derived for the case of multiple correct code-phase offsets and multipath Rayleigh fading channel. Numerical results present the hybrid acquistion performance with repect to design parameters such as postdetectio integration length in the search and verification modes, subset size, and number of I/Q noncoherent correlators, and compare the hybrid acquistion with the parallel acquistion in terms of the minimum acquistion time under the same hardware complexity.

본 논문에서는 유도 무기와 같이 고속으로 운동하는 항체에서 GPS 신호 탐색 시간을 줄이기 위하여 INS와 다중 상관기를 이용한 신호 획득 기법을 제안한다. 신호의 코드위상을 여러 개의 상관기에서 동시에 탐색하도륵 다중 상관기를 구성하여 코드위상 검색에 소요되는 시간을 단축시키며 INS로부터의 속도와 위치를 이용하여 도플러 주파수를 추정하고 이것을 도플러 검색 초기 값으로 사용하여 검색시간을 줄인다. 제안한 기법을 검증하기 위하여 GPS와 IMU 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 INS와 다중 상관기를 이용하였을 때 TTFF가 매우 크게 단축되는 것을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, the use of an antenna array is considered for code timing acquisition of DS-CDMA signals. The probabilities of acquisition are evaluated by applying multiple narrow fixed-beams to the conventional MUSIC acquisition approach in the multiuser environment on the time-varying Rayleigh fading channel. Each fixed-beam for spatial filtering is dedicated to an individual angular sector that is formed by dividing the entire angular domain by the number of antenna elements. The fixed-beams with a capability of interference suppression provide the additional degrees of freedom,. Hence, the multibeam-based MUSIC estimator can be used to synchronize to more users than the conventional MUSIC algorithm for one antenna. The multibeam-based subspace method is evaluated to significantly improve the performance of a single antenna based MUSIC technique in multiuser scenarios.
