  • VLBI 안테나의 기준점을 정확하게 결정하는 것은 서로 다른 우주측지기술들을 연계하는 콜로케이션을 수행하기 위한 필수적인 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 VLBI 안테나의 기준점을 정확하게 산출할 수 있는 3D circle fitting 방법에 대한 비교와 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 평면상의 관측점 평행이동과 정규직교 좌표계 설정을 기반으로 하는 방법론과 unitary 좌표변환을 활용하는 방법론을 제시하고, 비교 대상 방법별로 fitting 정확도를 평가하였다. 각 방법의 3D circle fitting 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 관측점과 fitting 모델 사이의 잔차로써 직교거리를 산출하고, 과대오차를 소거하는 반복계산 과정을 수행하였다. 연구의 결과, unitary 좌표변환을 기반으로 하는 3D circle fitting 방법론이 VLBI 안테나의 방위각과 앙각축에 대한 최적의 방정식을 결정하는데 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 상기 방법으로 결정된 두 축의 교차점을 VLBI 안테나의 기준점으로써 계산하였고, 이러한 결과는 향후 VLBI 관측성과의 국가기준점 연계를 위한 다양한 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • For precise GNSS applications, the antenna phase center correction (PCC) is absolutely required. The PCC magnitude can reach the centimeter level with the antenna structure. In the present study, we first investigate the phase center offset (PCO) and phase center variation (PCO) of three different antenna models in two different reference frames, IGS08/igs08.atx and IGS14/igs14.atx. Clear L1 and L2 PCO differences were found between IGS08 and IGS14. In addition, the PCV showed characteristics that is dependent upon the signal direction (azimuth and elevation angle). The remarkable thing is that the changes of a Dorne Margolin choke-ring antenna model (AOAD/MT DOME) was very small in two reference frames. In order to analyze changes in positions according to different reference systems, GNSS data obtained from DAEJ, SUWN, and TSKB stations were processed by the precise point positioning (PPP) method. We suggest that an antenna PCO/PCV can affect the precise GNSS positioning on the order of several millimeters in two different reference frames.

  • The Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) system is a Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) under development to provide APV-I SBAS service in the Republic of Korea. The KASS ground segment generates correction and integrity information for GPS measurements of KASS users using the accurate positions of KASS Reference Station (KRS) antenna phase centers. For this reason, the accuracy of KRS reference points through geodetic survey campaigns is one of the important factors for providing the KASS service in compliance with the required navigation performance. In order to obtain accurate positions, two geodetic survey campaigns were performed at several reference points, such as Mark, Center of Mast at Ground Level (CMGL), and Center of Hole in Top Plate (CHTP), of each KRS site using three different survey methods, the Virtual Reference Station (VRS), Flächen Korrektur Parameter (FKP), and raw data post-processing methods. By comparing and analyzing the results, the computed coordinates of the reference points were verified and Antenna Phase Center (APC) positions were calculated using KRS Antenna Reference Point (ARP) data, and the first KASS Site Acceptance Test (SAT#1) was performed successfully using the verified APC coordinates. After the first site survey activities, the KASS operators should maintain the coordinates with the required performance such that the overall KASS navigation performance commitment is guaranteed during the lifetime of 15 years. Therefore, the maintenance plan for the KRS antenna coordinates should be developed before the commissioning of KASS operation planned after 2023. Therefore, this paper presents a geodetic survey method selected for the maintenance activities and provides the rationale for using this method.

  • In this paper, we overview the system development status of the national maritime precise point positioning-real-time kinematic (PPP-RTK) service in Korea, also known as the Precise POsitioning and INTegrity monitoring (POINT) system. The development of the POINT service began in 2020, and the open service is scheduled to start in 2025. The architecture of the POINT system is composed of three provider-side facilities-a reference station, monitoring station, and central control station-and one user-side receiver platform. Here, we propose the detailed functionality of each component considering unidirectional broadcasting of augmentation data. To meet the centimeter-level user positioning accuracy in maritime coverage, new reference stations were installed. Each reference station operates with a dual receiver and dual antenna to reduce the risk of malfunctioning, which can deteriorate the availability of the POINT service. The initial experimental results of a testbed from corrections generated from the testbed network, including newly installed reference stations, are presented. The results show that the horizontal and vertical accuracies satisfy 2.63 cm and 5.77 cm, respectively. For the purpose of (near) real-time broadcasting of POINT correction data, we designed a correction message format including satellite orbit, satellite clock, satellite signal bias, ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, and coordinate transformation parameters. The (near) real-time experimental setup utilizing (near) real-time processing of testbed network data and the designed message format are proposed for future testing and verification of the system.

  • It is important to test and evaluate the variation degree of ship-mounted antenna radiated power with respect to all directions in order to use more effectively antennas that installed on naval ships. The naval ship has various sensors for navigation, communication and electronic warfare, etc. And the performance of these sensors extremely depends on the various characteristics of antenna system to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave. The radiated power pattern of the antenna differs from all aspect angles of the ship because of complex superstructures. It is important to know the weak point(direction) of antenna radiation for appropriate operation. Therefore, the ARP(Antenna Radiation Pattern) of shipboard antennas is measured for the all aspect angles. The results of ARP measurement are utilized as reference for antenna arrangement of newly-built same class warship. This study also describes the development results for the ARP measurement technique, software design and test procedures to measure the radiation pattern of communication equipment antennas using the fixed test site.

  • In this paper we discuss a direct satellite broadcasting system for vehicle. The proposed satellite-steering algorithm and controller based on it are designed for a communication and broadcasting system which uses the Mugungwha satellite. The Mugungwha satellite that the proposed system should steer is a geostationary orbit device. The satellite-steering algorithm computes azimuth and elevation with reference to a stationary point on earth. This is extended to a real satellite steering algorithm that considers position and attitude. Real moving position and attitude are represented by latitude, longitude, roll, pitch and yaw. To apply these five pieces of information to the reference satellite steering algorithm, we introduce Euler's degree coordinates that express independently the rotation of each axis relative to an axis. There are two ways a basic algorithm of the antenna of a vehicle can track and orient to satellite. One way is a feedback loop method for broadcasting gain, while the other is a feedback loop method for position and attitude of a vehicle. In the present paper, we design a controller of satellite broadcasting system for a vehicle using an algorithm that combines the two methods. We performed a simulation and experiment to prove effectiveness.

  • The flight performance evaluation of navigation system is very significant because the reliability of navigation data directly affect the safety of aircraft. Especially, the high-level navigation system such as DGPS/INS, need more precise flight performance evaluation method. The performance analysis is evaluated by comparing between the navigation system in aircraft and reference trajectory which is more precise than navigation system in aircraft. In order to verify DGPS/INS performance of m-level, the GPS receiver, which is capable post-processed Carrier-phase Differential GPS(CDGPS) method of cm-level, have to be used as reference system. The DGPS/INS is estimated the Center of Gravity (CG) point of aircraft to offer precise performance while the reference system is output the position of GPS antenna which is mounted on the outside of aircraft. Therefore, in order to more precise performance evaluation, it needs to compensate the lever arm and coordinates transformation. This paper use quaternion and Direct Cosine Matrix(DCM) methods as coordinate transformation matrix in lever arm compensation of CDGPS reference trajectory. And it compares NED errors of DCM and quaternion transformation in lever arm of reference trajectory via DGPS/INS result.

  • 본 논문에서는 가시선 데이터링크용 추적안테나 시스템에 적용하기 위한 방위각 보정 알고리즘에 대해 연구한다. 이동하는 물체와 가시선 통신링크를 유지하기 위해서는 추적안테나 시스템이 필수적이다. 방위각과 고각계산을 위해서는 이동체와 안테나시스템의 GPS값을 이용하는데, 이때 두 좌표계의 동일성을 유지하기 위해서 초기에 지자기센서나 beacon등을 이용하여 보정을 하게 된다. 하지만 지형적으로 지자기교란이 생기기 쉬운 장소에서는 정확한 보정이 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 초기에 RF신호의 수신세기추적을 통해서 신호의 발생 위치를 검출하고 검출된 위치까지의 방위각 보정 값을 계산하여 통신링크개설 후 수신된 GPS값에 보정 값을 적용함으로서 주변의 영향을 최소화하면서 쉽고 빠르게 보정할 수 있다.

  • A well-designed mesh shape of the cable net is of essential significance to achieve high performance of cable-network antenna reflectors. This paper is concerned with the mesh design problem for such antenna reflector structure. Two new methods for creating the topological forms of the cable net are first presented. Among those, the cyclosymmetry method is useful to generate different polygon-faceted meshes, while the topological mapping method is suitable for acquiring triangle-faceted meshes with different mesh grid densities. Then, the desired spatial paraboloidal mesh geometrical configuration in the state of static equilibrium is formed by applying a simple mesh generation approach based on the force density method. The main contribution of this study is that a general technical guide for how to create the connectivities between the nodes and members in the cable net is provided from the topological point of view. With the new idea presented in this paper, multitudes of mesh configurations with different net patterns can be sought by a certain rule rather than by empiricism, which consequently gives a valuable technical reference for the mesh design of this type of cable-network structures in the engineering.
