GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Position Accuracy depends on pseudo-range measurement and DOP (Dilution Of Precision) which indicates about navigation satellite geometry. Pseudo-Range has many error sources such as satellite clock, orbit, ionosphere, troposphere, multipath and so on. For the improvement of the accuracy, user can use corrected pseudo-range in DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System), which is one of the relative positioning methods. But, stationary station is needed in relative positioning. In case of DOP, Signal reception environment is important. If receiver sets in the center of city, it could be interrupted reception by buildings. This environment leads to decrease the number of visible satellites and to increase DOP. This paper proposes the concept of GNSS positioning with virtual satellites which have usable VRM (Virtual Range Measurement). Via virtual satellites and VRM, users could get an accurate position. Especially referred virtual satellites constellation has an effect on vertical error.

In satellite operations and space exploration missions, a ranging is one of the most essential technologies to get its navigational information of space probes. Recently, the importance of cross-support between space agencies is increasing for more fine performance of space mission. For cross-support, mutually compatible ranging system between space agencies is recommended. For these reasons, the consultative committee for space data systems (CCSDS) recommends pseudo noise (PN) ranging as a digital standard ranging system. The length of PN sequence in CCSDS standard is proper for deep space missions, however, it is too long to use for ranging in near earth missions. In this paper, we propose Variable Length PN sequence schemes suitable for ranging of near earth satellites, such as low-earth orbit (LEO), medium-earth orbit (MEO) and Geostationary orbit (GEO). Therefore we propose variable length PN sequence ranging system including CCSDS standard for multiple missions.

In this paper, we developed the signal generator of GNSS navigation signals and analysis the performance of DCO(Digitally Clock Oscillator) compensation algorithm for cumulative distance error thorough simulation. In general, To generate a GNSS signal calculates the Doppler and Initial Pseudorange by using the location information of the receiver and the satellite. The GNSS signal generator generates a signal by determine the carrier and code output frequency using the Doppler information which is calculated as a function of time. The output frequency of the carrier and code would be used the DCO scheme. At this time, It extract the bit and code information on a for each sample by accumulating the DCO. an error of Pseudorange is generated by the cumulative error of the DCO. If Pseudorange error occurs, so that the influence to and operation of the receiver. Therefore, in this paper, we implemented the accumulated error compensation algorithm of the DCO to remove the accumulated error components DCO thereof, Pseudorange accumulated error is removed through the experiment, it was confirmed to be a high accuracy can be operated.

This paper focuses on the generation algorithm of BeiDou pseudorange correction (PRC) and simulation based performance verification for design of Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) reference station and integrity monitor (RSIM) in order to prepare for recapitalization of DGNSS. First of all, it discusses the International standard on DGNSS RSIM, based on the interface control document (ICD) for BeiDou, estimates the satellite position using satellite clock offset and user receiver clock offset, and the system time offset between Global Positioning System (GPS) and BeiDou. Using the performance verification platform interfaced with GNSS (GPS/BeiDou) simulator, it calculates the BeiDou pseudorange corrections , compares the results of position accuracy with GPS/DGPS. As the test results, this paper verified to meet the performance of position accuracy for DGNSS RSIM operation required on Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) standard.

최근 전 세계적으로 구제역, 화산, 지진재해 등 장기적이고 광역적인 재해 재난의 심각성을 반영하는 듯 다양한 기술개발과 재난관리 적용성에 관한 연구가 전개되고 있다. 그 가운데 인공위성에 대한 가치와 활용에 대한 기대치가 높아짐에 따라 국내외로 신속한 재난대응 및 광역적 피해지역에 대한 조기분석 등에 관한 다양한 지원체계구축에 대한 연구가 심화되고 있다. 국내에서도 재해 재난에 대한 인공위성의 활용성 및 실무적 대안마련에 대한 검토가 시작되고 있으며, 특히 재해시 영상의 확보 및 분석과 의사결정지원 등 재난관리 프로세스에 대한 정부부처의 활용방안 마련에 대한 기대가 높아지고 있는 가운데 재난총괄기관인 소방방재청은 국립방재연구소에 방재영상분석팀을 신설하였다. 2010년 1월 HAITI 지진피해, 2010년 12월 삼척 산불모니터링, 2011년 1월 포항 폭설피해 등의 재해 재난 분석을 통해 의사결정지원체계를 구축하고 있다. 위성영상 분석기술은 국외기관과 비슷한 실정이나, 본질적으로는 영상촬영 및 수급문제 해소에 있다고 하겠다. 현재, 지구관측센터(KEOC) 및 한국항공우주연구원에서도 이와 같은 수급체계에 대한 문제의식을 공유하고 있다는 점은 재난관리업무 담당자로서 고무적이고 개선에 대한 희망이 밝다. 향후 본 연구를 기반으로 우리나라 재난관리업무에 있어 위성영상을 기반으로 하는 선제적이고 과학적인 재난관리기법이 개발되고 방재분야의 위성영상활용의 위상이 높게 제고 되었으면 한다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 현재 전 세계적으로 운영되고 있는 인공위성들을 대상으로, 시 공간 해상도별 분포도를 작성하여 인공위성의 특성을 살펴보았다. 특히, 한국항공우주연구원과 소방방재청에서 2010년 10월에 가입한 국제재해관리를 위한 위성영상활용 협력기구인 International Charter에서 재해 재난관련 위성영상 분석 및 현황을 조사하여 재난유형별 활용성을 검토하였다. 마지막으로 조사 분석된 내용을 토대로 위성영상을 통한 재난관리 분야에 적합한 업무 프로세스를 도출하였다. 또한, 재해발생지역에 대한 신속한 위성영상의 확보와 정량적 피해규모 파악에 따른 응급 복구지원이 가능한 대응전략에 대해서 검토하였다.

In order to prepare for recapitalization of differential GNSS (DGNSS) reference station and integrity monitor (RSIM) due to GNSS diversification, this paper focuses on differential correction algorithm using GPS/Galileo pesudorange. The technical standards on operation and broadcast of DGNSS RSIM are described as operation of differential GPS (DGPS) RSIM for conversion of DGNSS RSIM. Usually, in order to get the differential corrections of GNSS pesudorange, the system must know the real positions of satellites and user. Therefore, for calculating the position of Galileo satellites correctly, using the equation for calculating the SV position in Galileo ICD (Interface Control Document), it estimates the SV position based on Ephemeris data obtained from user receiver, and calculates the clock offset of satellite and user receiver, system time offset between GPS and Galileo, then determines the pseudorange corrections of GPS/Galileo. Based on a platform for performance verification connected with GPS/Galileo integrated signal simulator, it compared the PRC (pseudorange correction) errors of GPS and Galileo, analyzed the position errors of DGPS, DGalileo, and DGPS/DGalileo respectively. The proposed method was evaluated according to PRC errors and position accuracy at the simulation platform. When using the DGPS/DGalileo corrections, this paper could confirm that the results met the performance requirements of the RTCM.

A solar array makes a Solar Array Regulator (SAR) for Low-Earth-Orbit satellite have different small signal characteristic. Therefore, an Average-Current-Mode (ACM) controller cannot control the BUCK-BOOST type SAR which operates in a current region of the solar array. In this paper, we present the Pseudo-Continuous Current Mode (PCCM) BUCK-BOOST Type SAR which can be controller by the ACM Controller. We explain the circuit operation of the PCCM BUCK-BOOST Type SAR, derive its small signal transfer function and design ACM Controller. Finally, we verify the ACM control of the PCCM BUCK-BOOST Type SAR by using a simulation.
