위성항법시스템의 안정적인 정보 제공의 요구사항은 점차 증가하고 있지만, 의도적인 전파교란 및 자연환경에 의하여 성능이 저하된다. eLoran 시스템은 위성항법시스템의 단점을 보완하기위한 대표적인 지상파항법시스템으로 고출력 신호로 의도적인 전파교란에 강인한 장점이 있다. eLoran 시스템에서 사용자는 E-field 또는 H-field 2가지 종류의 수신 안테나를 사용 환경에 따라 적합한 것을 사용한다. 접지가 필요없고 상대적으로 주변 전자장비의 잡음에 강인한 H-field안테나는 두 개의 루프로 구성되어 루프간의 위상과 이득차이로 일정한 원형의 지향성을 가지지 못한다. 그러므로 수신한 신호의 방향에 따라 측정치의 변화가 발생하므로 H-field 안테나를 사용시에는 수신하는 신호의 방향에 따른 오차를 제거해야한다. 본 논문에서는 H-field 안테나와 송신국간의 기하학적 방향오차에 따른 오차를 제거하기 위한 후처리 필터를 제안하였다. eLoran 모의 신호생성기를 활용하여 오차를 분석하고 모델링하여 제거하는 기법을 개발하였다. 제안한 기법을 검증하기 위하여 시뮬레이션과 차량실험을 통하여 오차를 확인하고 제거하여 성능향상을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we present an azimuth error analysis for the correlative interferometer direction finding. The correlative interferometer is a direction finding method that compares the theoretical and measured phase differences. The direction of the radio transmitter can be estimated by obtaining the maximum correlation between two data sets. We used a 5-element circular array antennas arranged in a circle. To derive the correlation function between antenna elements, we assume that the incident plane wave arrives from a certain angle and the phase difference of each antenna can be derived by comparing with the reference. The suggested direction finding gives a relatively accurate result even if the radio transmitter is located in the higher altitude.

Although the needs for providing resilient PNT information are increasing, threats due to the intentional RFI or space weather change are challenging to resolve. eLoran, which is a terrestrial navigation system that use a high-power signal is considered as a best back-up navigation system. Depending on the user's environment in the eLoran system, the user may use one of E-field or H-field antennas. H-field antenna, which has no restriction on setting stable ground and is relatively resistant to noise of general electronic equipment, is composed of two loops, and shows anisotropic gain pattern due to the different measurement at the two loops. Therefore, the H-field antenna's phase estimation value of signal varies depending on its direction even at the static environment. The error due to the direction of the signal should be eliminated if the user want to estimate the own position more precisely. In this paper, a method to compensate the error according to the geometric distribution between the H-field antenna and the transmitting station is proposed. A model was developed to compensate the directional error of H-field antenna based on the signal generated from the eLoran signal simulator. The model is then used to the survey measurement performed in the land area and verify its performance.

The performance sensitivity analysis due to manufacturing/alignment errors is performed for the Ku-band offset parabola antenna of the domestic Communications and Broadcasting Satellite. The performance variations due to reflector random surface error, which inevitably happens during reflector manufacturing, are statistically analyzed using RMS error and correlation interval. The impact on the antenna performance of the fred hem's position and angular errors is investigated, and the sensitive directions are identified. When the target tolerances are applied, the performance degradations are found to be within the loss budget or corresponding performance margins.

In this paper, we are comparative analysis both class method and proposal method in order to estimation of incident signal direction on uniform array antenna system. Proposal method of this paper decrease error probability for a signal direction of arrival estimation using maximum posterior probability estimator. If it decrease to signal estimation direction error probability, signal direction of arrival can correctly estimate. Through simulation, we were comparative analysis proposed method and class method. Also, we were comparative analysis about signal estimation error probability with increasing array antenna element. We show the superior performance of the proposed method relative to the class method to decrease of signal estimation error probability about 12%.

This paper proposes a method to minimize the target's direction detection error using RADAR. The radar system cannot accurately detect the target direction due to the phase error of he received signal. The proposed method of this study obtains a phase by applying an root mean square to each antenna incident signal, and reduces the phase error by using an optimal signal to noise ratio. In the simulation result, the probability of detecting the target direction is the best when the antenna spacing is half wavelength. The conventional method of direction detection probability 10-1.7 and the proposed method is 10-3.3. The target detection direction of the existing method represents [-8°,8°] with an error of 2 degrees. The target detection direction of the proposed method is shown in [-10°,10°], and all target directions are accurately detected. In the future, There is need for a method to reduce the phase error even though the resolution decrease.

This paper deals with the estimation performance DoA (Direction of Arrival) using the 3D adaptive array antenna in W-CDMA signal. For this, we proposed the 5 types of 3D array antenna, and appied for the MUSIC in order to the estimation of DoA algorithm for that antenna, commonly, then the DoA estimation error was used for the estimation performance. In the mobile communication and radio positioning service, performing the spatial filtering after the DoA estimation in array antenna, the quality of receiving signal can improve by the nulling or minimization of interfering signal which is from the undesired direction and the forming of beam which is from the desired direction. The result of DoA estimation and the DoA estimation error by varying the signal to noise ration and the number of interfering signal and power of each type antenna was calculated by computer simulation. As a result of simulation, the other propose antenna has good performance excluding the stack 3D antenna in DoA estimation and the Curved-B type antenna has more superior performance when increasing the number of interfering signal and power in the DoA estimation error.

This paper deals with the performance analysis of 3-dimensional array antenna by DOA estimation and beamforming in GPS receiver for performance improvement by interference elimination. The array antenna in GPS receiver can improve the system performance by estimating DOA of arriving signal direction, making the main beam for desired direction and elimate the jammer signal by nulling while keeping the GPS signal direction by spatial filtering. In this paper, we propose five types of 3-dimensional array antenna and analyze the estimation error via MUSIC algorithm which is used for the estimation of DOA of arrived signal and beamforming performance. In analyzing DOA performance, we measure DOA estimation error, while in analyzing beamformig performance, we measure BER. In beamforming performance analyzing, we use various jammer power and the existence of GPS signal and angle spread. By performing through the computer simulation, Curved (B) 7-element antenna in proposed 3-dimensional array antenna exhibits the superior performance in the DOA estimation, estimation error, BER characteristic and angle spread compared to the rest four array antenna types.

In this paper, a phase comparison direction finding method of circular array composed of 8 antennas considering polarization characteristics is analyzed. A broadband cavity-backed patch antenna operating in 6 ~ 12 GHz is used, and the antennas are arranged in radial direction to receive various polarization signals. For the phase comparison, widely spaced elements are used to obtain precise DOA(Direction of Arrival), and narrowly spaced elements are used to resolve ambiguity. Two dimensional direction finding is performed for ±20° in both azimuth and elevation, and the DOA error is less than 0.5° and 1.6° near the boresight and the ±15° region, respectively.
