The main function in operating the satellite navigation system is to accurately determine the orbit of the navigation satellite and transmit it as a navigation message. In this study, we developed software to determine the orbit of a navigation satellite by combining an extended Kalman filter and an accurate dynamic model. Global positioning system (GPS) and quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS) orbit determination was performed using international gnss system (IGS) ground station observations and user range error (URE), a key performance indicator of the navigation system, was calculated by comparison with IGS precise ephemeris. When estimating the clock error mounted on the navigation satellite, the radial orbital error and the clock error have a high inverse correlation, which cancel each other out, and the standard deviations of the URE of GPS and QZSS are small namely 1.99 m and 3.47 m, respectively. Instead of estimating the clock error of the navigation satellite, the orbit was determined by replacing the clock error of the navigation message with a modeled value, and the regional correlation with URE and the effect of the ground station arrangement were analyzed.

GPS is an efficient system in surveying and car navigation. but it is difficult to catch minimum number of satellite when it is hindered by obstacle such as city area. GLONASS system doesn't have perfect constellation yet, but it has many similarities with GPS system in principle of point positioning and signal system. so, it is expected to be much efficient when it is used with GPS system. For the purpose of this, the coordinates of GPS and GLONASS system, the quality of time and frequency was investigated, and the algorithm of point positioning was made. also, the efficiency of GPS/GLONASS combination was presented by analysing the precision of 3D point positioning using C/A code and Yuma satellite orbit information.

this paper, integrity analysis in Korean region using GPS, modernized GPS, Galileo, SBAS and GBAS is given. The simulation results show that Cat. I requirement can be met using modernized GPS and Galileo alone, however, Cat. II and III are not met even augmenting SBAS because of VPL. A more efficient augmentation such as GBAS reduces VPL to meet Cat. II and III requirements in Korean region. This result will be used to design and implement not only an augmentation system but also regional satellite navigation system.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been used as a tool to accurately extract the Total Electron Content (TEC) in the ionosphere. The multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS) constellations bring new opportunities for ionospheric research. In this study, we develop a regional ionospheric TEC model using GPS, Galileo, and QZSS measurements. To develop an ionospheric model covering the Asia-Oceania region, we select 13 International GNSS Service (IGS) stations. The ionospheric model applies the spherical harmonic expansion method and has a spatial resolution of 2.5°×2.5° and a temporal resolution of one hour. GPS TEC, Galileo TEC, and QZSS TEC are investigated from January 1 to January 31, 2024. Different TEC values are in good agreement with each other. In addition, we compare the QZSS(J07) TEC and the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) Global Ionosphere Map (GIM) TEC. The results show that the QZSS TEC estimated in the study coincides closely with the CODE GIM TEC.

Voices demanding a revision of the aviation law on the operating drones are continuously rising high with the increase of their applicability in various industry fields. According to the current regulations, drones are permitted to fly under very strict conditions, which include limited places and the line-of-sight visibility from pilots. Because of the strict regulations, it is almost impossible for drones to be used in many industries such as parcel delivery services. To improve the business value of drones, we have to improve the accuracy of drones' positions and provide the proper protection levels in order to detect and avoid any risks including the collisions with the other drones. SBAS(Satellite Based Augmentation System) can support the aviation requirements with the accuracy and integrity so as to reduce the position errors and to calculate the protection levels of drones. In this paper, we assign the flight heights of drones according to the decision heights as per LAAS(Local Area Augmentation System) landing categories and conduct a simulation to predict the SBAS available time of the day.

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) is operating widely in civil and military area. GNSS signals, however, can be easily interfered because its signal is vulnerable to jamming. Thus, a sort of backup or alternative system is needed in order that the navigation performance is assured to a certain degree in case of GNSS jamming. In order to suggest a series of backup or alternative system of regional navigation, in this paper, we introduced a high altitude long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (HALE UAV) with pseudolites using inverted GPS and transceiver system. We simulated the positioning error of the regional navigation system using HALE UAV with inverted GPS or transceivers concepts. We estimated the position error of HALE UAV calculate user position errors based on the position error of HALE UAV and general pseudorange error.

Globally, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is being developed and operated in advanced countries. China's Beidou is developing rapidly, starting with global positioning system (GPS), which is the most representative system. In this paper, we analyze the visibility of Beidou satellite in Korea at present time to utilize rapidly changing Beidou. In this analysis, it is compared with GPS which is stable service. The results of the visibility analysis are based on the results of the mask angle (the low elevation satellite exclusion angle) and the result of the skyplot (a visual representation of the position of the satellite at the user location). Visibility analysis shows that the high elevation angle of Beidou satellite is higher than that of GPS satellite in Korea. In addition, GPS and Beidou's availability and positioning accuracy analysis are performed to confirm the effect of increasing elevation angle satellites. According to the results, Beidou is more effective than GPS in using high elevation satellites in Korea.

SLR (Satellite Laser Ranging) 데이터의 높은 거리측정 정밀도는 위성 추적 시스템의 검증 및 보정, 위성의 정밀궤도결정, 지구와 관련된 물리 상수 및 모델 검증, 우주파편과 같은 우주물체의 추적 및 감시 등에 활용이 가능하다. 특히 위성의 정밀궤도결정에 SLR 데이터를 활용하는 것은 고정밀 지구관측 위성 및 독자적인 항법 시스템 운영에 필수적인 부분이다. SLR 시스템은 위성 관측 가능 시간 및 지역이 한정되어 있기 때문에 정밀궤도 결정에 활용하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 SLR 데이터를 사용하기 위한 효율적인 정밀궤도결정 전략에 대해서 알아보았다. 동역학 및 관측 모델, 지상국의 개수, 초기 궤도 오차, 필터링 방법, 고도각에 따른 관측 데이터 선택 등의 기준을 선정하고 각각의 경우에 대해 정밀궤도결정을 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다. 정밀궤도결정 테스트를 위해서는 YLPODS (Yonsei Laser-ranging Precision Orbit Determination System)과 SLR정규점 (Normal Point) 데이터를 사용하였다. 이를 통해서 SLR 데이터를 사용하기 위한 효율적인 정밀궤도결정 전략에 대해 고찰해보았다.

Recently, multi-sensor integration techniques have been actively studied to obtain reliable and accurate navigation solution in GPS (Global Positioning System)-denied harsh environments such as urban canyons, tunnels, and underground roads. In this paper, we propose a low-cost ultrasonic-speedometer utilizing the characteristics of the ultrasonic propagation. An efficient integrated INS (inertial navigation system)/ultrasonic-speedometer navigation system is also proposed to improve the accuracy of positioning in GPS-denied environments. To evaluate the proposed system, car experiments with field-collected measurements were performed. By the experiment results, it was confirmed that the proposed INS/ultrasonic-speedometer system bounds the positioning error growth effectively even though GPS signal is blocked more than 10 seconds and a low-cost MEMS IMU (micro electro mechanical systems inertial measurement unit) is utilized.

납치ㆍ유괴는 개인의 자유로운 활동에 많은 영향을 미치는 위험요소이다. 이러한 위험 요소로부터 벗어나기 위해서 개인의 위치를 확인할 수 있는 시스템이 절실히 필요하다. 위성 항법 시스템(Global Positioning System, GPS)은 기상 상태에 상관없이 지구 전역에서 사용 가능한 효율적인 항법 시스템으로 위치정보에 대한 지표를 제공한다. GPS는 현재 지속적인 개발에 의해 수신 모듈의 소형화 고성능화가 이루어지고 있으며, 고정 또는 이동하는 시스템의 위치정보를 제공한다. GPS 시스템을 개인이 휴대하게 되면 개인의 이동경로를 확인할 수 있게 된다. 일반적으로 개인의 이동경로는 생활권역 내에 특정 지역으로 한정되는 경우가 많으며 이동경로 자체도 주된 교통수단과 맞물려 일정한 패턴을 형성한다. 이러한 이동특성에 착안하여 본 논문에서는 개인 안전을 위해 GPS의 위치정보와 소프트 컴퓨팅 기법을 접목한 시스템을 휴대한 사용자의 이동경로를 학습하여 개인의 안전을 보장하는 방법을 제안한다.
