In this paper, we present the enhancement results such as availability and accuracy using the GPS L1 and Galileo E1 signal combination. To enhance the acquisition and tracking performance of signal processing in GNSS receiver. several tracking loops with integrator, discriminator, and loop filter module are applied. Also, this paper presents the performance comparison results between prototype receiver equipped with hardware board and software receiver. Also the tracking loop performance of real hardware receiver is verified by comparing with tracking accuracy, sensitivity occurred by the Spirent simulator. Especially, to process the Galileo E1 signal, it is used the a power early late type which is the typical type for DLL discriminator.

This paper shows the research about the development of software receiving platform processing GPS/Galileo L1/E1/E5a signal. Various researches for new GNSS signal character are possible using software receiving platform by facile program code modification. In addition, the program that processes GPS and Galileo signal integration is expected to help developing integration of receiver algorithm that deal with new various GNSS signal. In this paper, it is introduced the structure of GPS/Galileo receiving platform using sampled IF data as a program input. The function of the software platform embodied using MATLAB tool is tested by live data from Galileo test satellites. The software platform is modulated according to their roll and function. Each module is able to use selective function on GNSS signal.

The key technologies of GNSS receiver for GNSS sensor station are under development as a part of a GNSS ground station in ETRI. This paper presents the GNSS receiver implementation and signal processing result which is implemented based on FPGA to process the Galileo E1 and E5 signal. To verify the working and performance for GNSS receiver which is implemented based on FPGA, live signal received from GIOVE-B which is second test satellite is used. We gather GIOVE-B signal by using prototyping antenna and RF/IF units including IF-component. To verify Galileo E1 and E5 signal processing function from GIOVE-B, FPGA based signal processing module is implemented as a prototyping hardware board.

In this paper, the key technologies of Navigation receiver for GNSS sensor station are presented as a development result of a GNSS ground station in ETRI. A wide-band antenna and RF/IF components and SW signal processing unit to cover the GPS and Galileo signals for GNSS receiver are developed and its performance is verified by using GPS live signal and GNSS RF signal simulator from SpirentTM. We also gather GIOVE-A signal by using H/W antenna and RF/IF units in IF-level as sampling frequency and bit number, 112MHz and 8bits, respectively by using the developed wide-band antenna and RF/IF components. Data acquisition is done by using commercial data acquisition device from National Instrument TM. The gathered data is fed into SW receiver to process Galileo E1 to verify Galileo signal processing by Galileo live signal from GIOVE-A.

Galileo is a new civil Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS) developed by Europe. GIOVE-A, a satellite to test Galileo system performance, transmits navigation signal on orbit. Evaluation of Galileo system and development of Galileo receiver needs to analyze GIOVE-A signals. In this paper, we received GIOVE-A signals and processed it using GIOVE-A Interface Control Document(ICD). Signal acquisition, tracking and navigation message decoding made grasping current signal status possible. Bandwidth increase by BOC modulation is one of the difference from GPS. Therefore, we investigated feasibility of conventional GPS L1 RF front-end to receive GIOVE-A E1 signal by evaluation of receiving performance of navigation signal on each bandpass filter of RF front-end.

We analyzed photoreflectance (PR) characterization of the $Al_xGa_{1-x}As$ epilayer grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. The band-gap energy $(E_0)$ satisfying low power Franx-Keldysh (LPFK) due to GaAs buffer layer is 1.415 eV, interface electricall field $(E_i)$ is 1.05$\times$$10^4$V/cm, carrier concentration (N) is $1.3{\times}10^{15}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$. In PR spectrum intensity analysis at 300 K the $A^*$ peak below $(E_0)$ signal is low and distorted because of residual impurity in sample growth. The trap characteristic time ${\tau}_i$ of GaAs buffer layer is about 0.086 ms, and two superposed PR signal near 1.42eV consist of the third derivative signal of chemically eteched GaAs substrate and Franz-Keldysh oscillation (FKO) signal due to GaAs buffer layer.

This paper contains the signal receiving algorithm for Galileo E5 AltBOC signal and the development of Galileo E5 signal receiving software. The software runs the process from signal acquisition to extracting measurement data to get navigation solution. It uses logged IF data file as an input. In signal acquisition stage, 1ms and delayed 1ms data are used for reducing correlation ross from secondary code and navigation bit conversion. Signal tracking stage is made of two stages which are coarse tracking and fine tracking. It is for taking advantage of AltBOC characteristic and resolving ambiguity problem due to BOC modulation. The functions of software are verified by signal processing using logged IF data from commercial GNSS simulator.

Photoreflectance (PR) measurents have been performed on $In_xGa_{1-x}As/GaAs$ grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Bandgap $(E_0)$ of $In_xGa_{1-x}As$ epilayer measured from PR was separated as heavy-hole $(E_0(HH))$ and light-hole $(E_0(LH))$ by strain effect. The compositions and the strains of epilayer were obtained from the energy value of $E_0(HH)$ and from energy difference of $E_0(HH)$ and $E_0(LH)$, respectively. In addition, the PR signal of $E_0(LH)$ was diminished below 160 K. The interface electric field (E) of InGaAs/GaAs was increased from $0.75{\times}10^5$ V/cm to $2.66{\times}10^5$ V/cm as In composition increased, which was calculated from Franz-Keldysh oscillation (FKO) peaks. As the temperature dependence of the PR signal at x=0.09 sample, we obtained Varshni and Bose-Einstein coefficients.
