GNSS를 이용한 정밀측위에서 미지정수 결정은 가장 중요한 과정이다. 정확한 미지정수를 추정하는 경우에는 수 mm에서 수 cm의 정밀한 측위결과를 가져오지만 부정확한 미지정수를 사용하는 경우에는 측위결과의 정확도와 정밀도를 보장할 수가 없다. 미지정수 결정은 IR(Integer Rounding), IB(Integer Bootstrapping), ILS(Integer Least Squares) 등의 기법을 기반으로 수행할 수 있다. 이중에서 ILS는 이론적, 실험적으로 가장 좋은 성능을 보여준다. 하지만 다른 기법들과 달리 ILS는 미지정수에 대한 후보를 검색하기 때문에 올바른 미지정수를 판단하기 위한 타당성 검정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 타당성 검정 기법간의 실험적인 비교 분석을 수행한다. 실험에는 타당성 검정 기법으로 자주 쓰이는 R-ratio, F-ratio, W-ratio가 사용되었다. 각 타당성 검정 기법의 성능을 정상동작, 검출, 미검출, 오검출로 나누어 평가하였다. 실험결과로 각 타당성 검정 기법의 장단점이 분명하게 나타났으며, 이를 통해 적용환경에 따라 기법이 선택되어야 함을 확인하였다.

As one of validation tool for attitude determination system, we have used various constraints using priori information which is known through base vector set up. However these conventional constraints cannot guarantee validity in terms of final solutions such as Euler angle. So we suggest attitude boundary concept to verify the final attitude solution on the flying airplane, it is based on the combination of velocity based attitude estimation technique and ambiguity resolution. we can say it can check invalid solution effectively at just one epoch without repeatability test of resolved cycle ambiguity. In this paper we show that the suggested constraint can effectively reject incorrectly resolved cycle ambiguity the conventional constraints have missed.

Rapid and high-precision positioning with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is feasible only when very precise carrier-phase observations can be used. There are two kinds of mathematical models for ambiguity resolution. The first one is based on both pseudorange and carrier phase measurements, and the observation equations are of full rank. The second one is only based on carrier phase measurement, which is a rank-defect model. Though the former is more commonly used, the latter has its own advantage, that is, ambiguity resolution will be freed from the effects of pseudorange multipath. Galileo will be operational. One of the important differences between Galileo and current GPS is that Galileo will provide signals in four frequency bands. With more carrier-phase data available, frequency combinations with long equivalent wavelength can be formed, so Galileo will provide more opportunities for fast and reliable ambiguity resolution than current GPS. This paper tries to investigate phase only fast ambiguity resolution performance with four Galileo frequencies for short baseline. Cascading Ambiguity Resolution (CAR) method with selected optimal frequency combinations and LAMBDA method are used and compared. To validate the resolution, two tests are used and compared. The first one is a ratio test. The second one is lower bound success-rate test. The simulation test results show that, with LAMBDA method, whether with ratio test or lower bound success rate validation criteria, ambiguity can be fixed in several seconds, 8 seconds at most even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 12 mm. While with CAR method, at least about half minute is required even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 3 mm. It shows that LAMBDA method performs obviously better than CAR method.

To use the Global Positioning System (GPS) carrier phase measurement for precise positioning, the integer ambiguities at the early stage of most algorithms must be determined. Furthermore, if a precise positioning is to be applied to real time navigation, fast determination and validation methods for integer ambiguity are essential. In this paper, the Wald test that simultaneously determines and validates integer ambiguities is used with assistance of the Inertial Navigation System (INS) to improve its performance. As the Wald test proceeds, it assigns a higher probability to the candidate that is considered to be true at each time step. The INS information is added during the Wald test process. Large performance improvements were achieved in convergence time as well as in requiring fewer observable GPS satellites. To test the performance improvement of the Wald test with the INS information, experimental tests were conducted using a ground vehicle. The vehicle moved in a prescribed trajectory and observed seven GPS satellites. To verify the effect of the INS information on the Wald test, the convergence times were compared with cases that considered the INS information and cases that did not consider the INS information. The results show that the benefits of using the INS were emphasized as fewer GPS satellites were observable. The performance improvement obtained by the proposed algorithm was shown through the fast convergence to the true hypothesis when using the INS measurements.
