Accurate positioning method using low cost GPS modules is proposed, which use the technique of differential GPS. DGPS experiments have been made using two coarse-acquisition (C/A) code GPS modules. Position accuracy of better than 5 m was obtained for position dilution of precision (PDOP) of 2-3 and that of better than 10 m after filtering was obtained for PDOP of about 9 in a local area. Static DGPS experiments were performed at Kookmin university with the DGPS correction data of KRISS reference station at Taejon. The distance between two stations is about 140 km. The results show that precision of the position is about 10 m (2 drms), which is ten times better than the results with the GPS module alone. Accuracy of about 10 meters can be obtained in near real time by the DGPS service with a reference station in our country.

Space-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), which is one of the GPS augmentation systems, is a Wide-Area Differential GPS that provides differential GPS corrections and integrity data. In this study, we did performance analysis of kinematic SBAS surveying by conducting Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), DGPS, standalone, and SBAS surveys. Considering static survey results as truth, 2-D Root Mean Square (RMS) error and 3-D RMS error were computed to evaluate the positioning accuracy of each survey method. As a result, the 3-D positioning error of RTK was 13.1cm, DGPS 126.0cm, standalone (L1/L2) 135.7cm, standalone (C/A) 428.9cm, and SBAS 109.2cm. The results showed that the positioning accuracy of SBAS was comparable to that of DGPS.

This paper proposes a DGPS (Differential GPS) mobile reference station. The proposed systems can provide user with real-time correction data when the internet connention is possible. Since the GPS receiver part and network hardware are designed in a module, it can be easily moved and fixed. In order to verify the proposed system, several tersts have been carried out and the test results show the validity of the proposed system.

DGPS provides less altitude accuracy than horizontal accuracy according to geometric characteristics of GPS satellite arrangement. To assist DGPS altitude measurements, two barometric altitude sensors were used and set up at the mobile and the reference station respectively to get the differential altitude. This differential altitude is coupled with the DGPS altitude measurement by a Kalman filter so that the improved altitude is estimated. The differential altitude is based on the relative altitude measurement but results in providing the absolute altitude. The precision of this differential altitude is verified by experiments in accordance with a baseline length.

Nowadays, GPS is used widely, especially in case which needs precise position information, such as car navigation systems and various kinds of position measuring instruments in an outdoor environment. According to their applications, there are many kinds of GPS receivers with different costs and error rates. The maximum error range of the general-purpose GPS receiver is within 30m, though the error rate depends on receiving rate of signal and weather condition. RTK(Real-Time Kinematic) and DGPS(Differential Global Positioning System) have more precise accuracy than the general-purpose GPS. However end users can't afford use them because of their high price and large size of equipments. In order for the end user to obtain precise position information, it is important that GPS receivers has portability and low price. In this study, we introduce a new system that offers precise position information using the DGPS mechanism satisfying low cost and portability.

This study focuses on examination of the availability and effectiveness about application of the differential GPS methods for navigation and acquisition of the geo-spatial information. For this, the algorithms related to a navigation solution and differential GPS were implemented in MATLAB code, a number of software simulations on test model were carried out to assess its performance, comparing the results with those obtained from the commercial software. Expecially, the results coming from tracking test on test model of the OO's WADGPS which is the commercial real-time satellite-based augmentation system via geostationary satellite (GEOs), which has been investigated with those from the above GPS methods. And also, the accuracy of absolute positioning by Navigation solution and WADGPS before and after SA-off has been compared. The above results show that DGPS methods are very reliable and efficient methods for acquisition of the geo-spatial information.

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.

Hardware dedicated off-the-shelf maritime differential GPS RSIM lacks the open architecture to meet all the minimum maritime user requirements and to include future GNSS improvements after recapitalization. This paper carries out a study to replace existing hardware dedicated differential GPS RSIM with software differential GPS RSIM in order to make up the weak point of hardware dedicated off-the-shelf maritime differential GPS RSIM. In this paper, the architecture of software RSIM is proposed for maritime DGPS recapitalization. And the feasibility analysis of the proposed software differential GPS RSIM is performed as the first phase to realize the proposed architecture. For the feasibility analysis, the prototype RF module and DSP module are implemented with properties as wide RF bandwidth, high sampling frequency, and high speed transmission interface. This paper shows that the proposed architecture has the possibility of real time operation of software RSIM functionality onto the PC-based platform through the analysis of computation time. Finally, this paper verifies that the L1/L2 dual frequency software differential RSIM designed according to the proposed method satisfies the performance specifications set out in RTCM paper 221-2006-SC104-STD.
