Pseudolite is a contraction of the term "pseudo-satellite," used to refer to something that is not a satellite which performs a function commonly in the domain of satellites. Pseudolite are most often small transceivers that are used to create a local, ground-based GPS alternative. This paper proposes a clock synchronization scheme for pseudolite.

본 논문에서는 GPS와 의사위성을 이용하는 무인항공기 착륙용 측위 정확도 예측 프로그램의 개발을 나타내었다. 무인항공기의 착륙 환경을 모사하기 위하여 착륙 장소의 GIS 데이터를 기반으로 광선추적(ray tracing) 기법을 이용하여 의사 위성신호의 전파과정을 상세히 모사하였으며, GPS 위성의 위치는 위성궤도 생성 프로그램과 오차 모델을 이용하여 생성하였다. 의사위성 신호와 GPS 신호를 동시에 사용하여 위치를 구할 수 있으며, 일반적인 GPS UERE 모델과 의사위성 설치 환경의 UERE 모델을 이용하여 DOP와 NSP를 계산하고 측위 정확도를 예측할 수 있다. 개발된 측위 정확도 예측 프로그램은 무인항공기의 착륙지의 선정 및 오차 예측뿐 아니라 의사위성과 GPS를 동시에 사용하는 모든 응용에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있다.

Pseudolite is a contraction of the term "pseudo-satellite", used to refer to something that is not a satellite which performs a function commonly in the domain of satellites. Pseudolite are most often small transceivers that are used to create a local, ground-based GPS alternative. Pseudo-range measurement of pseudolite has around 300m range error, when time synchronization error of $1{\mu}sec$ occurs. Therefore the time synchronization methods play an important part in navigation augmentation using pseudolite. This paper proposes three clock synchronization methods that are installation method of pseudolite station, method using KRISS-UTC and method using PRN code phase difference for pseudolite. The simulation platform structure is presented for evaluating proposed clock synchronization performance.

Pseudolite systems are used for backup systems of GPS satellite or indoor navigation systems. The pseudolite transmits GPS-like signal on the ground. Fundamentally, to estimate a position, clock synchronization among satellites is essential, because GPS receiver uses measurement based on TOA. Therefore, in order to improve the navigation performance in applications using pseudolite, clock synchronization with GPS satellites is required. This paper proposes design of monitoring system for pseudolite clock synchronization. The monitoring system analyzes clock synchronization accuracy of pseudolite and can be used for clock adjustment.

This paper considers the performance of the non-participating GPS software receivers under the presence of GPS pseudolite(PL). For the continuous PL signal and pulsed PL signal, the impact of PL signals on the GPS software receivers is investigated according to the signal strength of the PL and the distance between the PL and the GPS receiver.

Automatic landing performance of UAV can be enhanced by adding Pseudolite(PL) to GPS. However, it is very hard to install and operate PL with confidence because GPS satellites are moving and the landing zone are usually changeable. The coverage and accuracy of combined GPS and PL can be estimated by using simulator and the correct information is very crucial to UAV operation. In this paper, design, implementation and evaluation of GPS/PL simulator for UAV landing are given. A very realistic coverage estimation is obtained using GIS data and ray launching method with considerations of the transmitter power level, altitude of UAV, number and location of PL. The expected accuracy is estimated using DOP and NSP computed using both GPS and PL. The performance of simulator is evaluated by comparing with the results of a real GPS receiver, and the certified simulator shows the required accuracy for UAV landing can be easily met by proper installation of at least 2 PLs.

In this paper, the navigation performance analysis techniques of a pseudolite navigation system are proposed. To validate the techniques, operation and navigation test results using real test data are addressed. The conventional navigation performance analysis methods used for satellite navigation system, such as Galileo and GPS, are analyzed to identify the error factor and to check the criterion of UERE defined in the standard document. And then the method to calculate the UERE through the ranging measurements are studied. By identifying the error factor in pseudolite navigation system based on these methods, the available UERE observation and calculation method applicable to pseudolite navigation are proposed. Simulation results considering various circumstances and the actual flight test results are presented to verify the proposed method.

사용자 의사거리 보정 잔차(UDRE)는 위성항법보정정보의 측위성능을 예측하는데 이용하는 매우 중요한 무결성 감시정보이다. 위성항법보정정보 사용자는 위성별로 제공되는 사용자 의사거리 보정 잔차 정보를 이용하여 목표로 하는 측위성능을 보장할 수 있는지 여부를 계산하고, 이 결과를 반영하여 위성항법보강시스템의 보정정보를 사용할지 아니면, 무시할지를 판단한다. 즉, 사용자 의사거리 보정 잔차는 위성별로 제공되는 보정정보를 이용하여 보정을 한 후에도 제거되지 않고 남는 위성과 사용자 수신기 간의 통계학적 거리 오차로서 가우시안 분포를 갖는다고 본다. 따라서 동일한 위성항법신호 환경이라도 위성항법보강시스템의 종류와 응용분야별로 다르게 설정되는 측위성능의 보장 수준에 따라 사용자 의사거리 보정 잔차는 다른 값을 갖게 된다. 본 논문은 위성항법보강시스템의 무결성 감시성능에 영향을 미치는 사용자 의사거리 보정 잔차 추정기법의 성능해석을 목적으로 다중 기준국 원시정보를 이용한 사용자 의사거리 보정 잔차 추정기법 구조분석과 영향력을 소개하고, 성능에 영향을 미치는 인자와 사용자 의사거리 보정 잔차 추정성능의 지표에 대해 정의한다. 그리고 마지막으로 성능해석의 방법을 제안하고, 타당성을 검증한다.

This paper proposes three methods of the time synchronization for Pseudolite and GPS and analyzes pseudolite time synchronization error factors for software based performance evaluation on proposed time synchronization methods. Proposed three time synchronization methods are pseudolite time synchronization station construction method, method by using UTC(KRIS) clock source and GPS timing receiver based time synchronization method. Also, we analyze pseudolite time synchronization error factors such as errors of pseudolite clock and reference clock, time delay as clock transmission line, measurement error of time interval counter and error as clock synchronization algorithm to design simulation platform for performance evaluation of pseudolite time synchronization.

In this paper, the practical applications of the pseudolite are explained with the basic concept of the pseudolite. Many researches have been developed to improve the performance of the GPS. Most of those researches need the extra equipments. But without the extra equipments, the performance of GPS can be improved only with the change in the software in GPS system. In this paper, the pseudolite and the integrated navigation system including GPS as well as pseudolite only with navigation system for the demand of more precise navigation system are introduced. Also, the advantage of the pseudolite is confirmed by some simulations.
