Surveillance is an enabler of safety with respect to aircraft separation and as a consequence capacity and efficiency with respect to aircraft operations. The new emerging technology among modern civil aviation surveillance is Multilateration (MLAT) which would affect on the surveillance capacity with both side of surveillance signal and operational properties. Multilateration system is needed to receive the signal which must reach at least 3 ground receivers simultaneously and has the effect that will have on with the ultimate accuracy. In this paper, the principle and the system configuration are reviewed. And its benefit of development is considered with use in situations where it is difficult to locate tranditional radar. This MLAT requires no additional avionics equipment to supply service with more accurate and less expensive. And it is able to enhance performance that meets international standards and extend the investment of air navigation service providers with reducing environmental impact by utilizing a small footprint on existing structures. Finally, it can be added to meet a wide range of coverage requirements and future surveillance needs.

This study is to analyze the performance for ADS-B(Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) operations by the Balanced Scorecard(BSC). It is also to collect the opinions of users(pilots, air traffic controllers and ground operators) relating ADS-B and to use the results as data about preparing political measures of aviation safety. For these purpose, BSC model redesigned on 4 different points of view is used for measuring the performance of the ADS-B operation. The proposed perspectives are affairs effectiveness, user orientation, system orientation and the capacity. As the results of this study, it is showed that the continuous development of ADS-B should be required and the users must be involved in the activities, additionally, the relevant authorities should try to be drawn the user-oriented results through the process.

Due to the influence of Han-la Mountain which is located at the center of Jeju Island, a radar blind sector has been appearing in the south-east, low-altitude area of Jeju Island. Thus, the region is perilous for aircraft using surveillance in this area with the existing radar equipment that is currently available. In addition, as the popularity for domestic leisure aviation is on the rise, the safety in low-altitude area should be guaranteed. Where not only IFR flights but also VFR flights are mainly used. Therefore, immediate measures to the present state of radar blind sector in Jeju Island should be taken into serious account. Regarding the circumstances, this study's purpose is to help secure the aviation safety in Jeju region by analyzing the current air traffic surveillance system in Jeju Island and comprehending its vulnerable factors. Moreover, this study compares secondary radar surveillance system, ADS-B and MLAT(Multilateration) system with factors based on the guidance materials from ICAO Asia and Pacific region office to suggests an adequate surveillance technology considering the regional characteristics of Jeju.

ADS-B(Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) has been recognized as a key component of Surveillance and ATM in CNS/ATM System. In addition to providing surveillance for air traffic control(ATC), ADS-B also supports airborne applications such as enhanced traffic situational awareness through the display of other aircraft to pilots and flight crew. It provides the real-time and same air traffic information to pilots in the aircraft cockpit, air traffic controllers in tower and surface vehicles on the ground at the same time. Aircraft Cockpit Display Unit will display the given information precisely and accurately. This paper describes progress in the development of a Cockpit Display with ADS-B data that enable pilots to acquire, verify and maintain pre-defined spacing intervals from other aircraft for general aviation and small regional aircraft. The designed display provides analogous information in the form of traffic position, range, and ground speed, etc.

Recently, U.S. and Europe, which are advanced to Air Traffic Control Management, are interest in replacing Radar System with Communications, Navigation and Surveillance(CNS) and Air Traffic Management(ATM). They pursue to research the efficient Air Traffic Control Management. This paper covers ADS-B 1090ES system which is one of CNS/ATM surveillance systems. This research satisfied all performance required by RTCA DO-268B and EUROCAE ED-129. It optimized algorism to mainly enhance performance such as quality of receiver signal, dynamic range, and so on. The optimized mechanism provided stable performance of demodulation, tuned the level of signal, and had reduced the false reception ratio by the signal level difference. The analyzed algorism helped great performance and will be considered to apply broad system applications.

This article introduces the next-generation air surveillance system and investigates how to design of front-end low noise amplifier of the ground station receiver. In consideration of the international standard documentation and the performance of existing products, the study conducts the link budget on the entire system so that it can be competitive in terms of receive sensitivity or reliability. To obtain a proper low noise amplifier, standards of design are decided so that such factors as gain, gain flatness, and reflective loss can be optimal. In its design, the bias circuit appropriate for the characteristics of low power, low noise, or high gain was built, and according to the results of the simulation conducted after the optimal design, its gain was 16.24dB, noise factor was 0.36dB, input-output reflective loss was -18dB and -28dB each, and frequency stability was 1.11. According to the results measured after the design, its gain was 17dB, noise factor was 0.51dB, gain flatness was 0.23dB, and input-output reflective loss was -18.28dB and -24.50dB each, so the results gained were suitable for building the overall system.

This paper covered the design and implementation of the demodulation receiver in the ADS-B 1090ES system, which is one of the CNS/ATM's surveillance systems. This researched demodulation performed at the level required by RTCA DO-268B and EUROCAE ED-129. The single signal process method, which applies a baseline multi-sample technique among multi-amplitude sample demodulations, was suggested to improve the quality of the receiver signal, the dynamic range and so on. The suggested multi-signal level tuning method has enhanced the single-signal process method, reducing the unstable reception ratio by the transmit output level difference and manufacturing receiver hardware. The result was that the receiver suggested by the method had 0~87dBm in dynamic range and -90dBm in MTL. This shows a better performance by -3dBm less than the international standard in ADS-B 1090ES ground receiver equipment. The systems which use a similar modulation method, will be considered to be widely applied.
