In this paper, we describe on the position error of GBAS. In reality, there are many sources which make errors into the calculation of receiver position. It is well known that the DOP of GBAS is an important position error source and is dependent on the numbers and positions of the transmitters. Here, we develop an algorism to calculate the DOP of the GNSS with 2-line transmitters into Korean area. The result is useful to predict the DOP of the positions where transmitters and receivers are located.

High ionospheric spatial gradient during ionospheric storm is most concern for the landing approach with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) augmentation systems. In case of the GBAS (Ground-Based Augmentation System), the ionospheric storm causes sudden increase of the ionospheric delay difference between a ground facility and a user (aircraft), and the aircraft position error increases significantly. Since the ionosphere behavior and the storm effect depend on geographic location, understanding the ionospheric storm behavior at specific regional area is crucial for the GNSS augmentation system development and implementation. Korea Aerospace Research Institute and collaborating universities have been developing an integrity monitoring test bed for GBAS research and for future regional augmentation system development. By using the dense GPS (Global Positioning System) networks in Korea, a regional ionosphere map is constructed for finding detailed aspect of the ionosphere variation. Preliminary analysis on the ionospheric gradient variation during a recent storm period is performed and the results are discussed.

This paper presents the simulation results of GBAS availability and requirement (with respected to Vertical Protection Level) using simulated data at CAT I, CAT II/III DH point (Decision Height), which are generated using Jeju international GNSS reference position, aircraft horizontal velocity and reference/aircraft GNSS antenna performance index and so on. Two kinds of protection levels are presented, one is from a hypothesis (H0) and other is from a alternative hypothesis (H1). These protection levels are compared with AL (Alert Limit), and we analyse the GBAS availability and requirement for CAT I and CAT II/III at the airport.

GNSS is a satellite-based radio navigation aid. For using it in civil air navigation area, any GNSS service should meet the requirements of accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability in each flight phase established by ICAO. In this study, a remote integrity monitoring system(RIMS) for GNSS are proposed and explained to utilize it in the design of GNSS augmentation system such as GBAS and GRAS. The RIMS consists of signal-in-space receiving subsystem and signal processing subsystem. Each GPS receiver is connected to Host PC by the serial to ethernet converting device which is able to convert serial port connection to LAN port connection in order to exchange information via the internet. We can overcome the siting limitation of GPS receiver and antenna, and reduce signal loses in the cable between GPS antenna and receiver. This system is providing the development environment for GBAS CAT-I system.

Ionospheric storms, caused by the interaction between Solar and geomagnetic activities, may degrade the differential GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite Systems) performance significantly, and the importance of the ionospheric storm research is growing for the GBAS(Ground-Based Augmentation System) and SBAS(Satellite-Based Augmentation System) development. In order to support Korean GNSS augmentation system development, a software tool for analyzing the regional ionosphere is being developed and its preliminary results are discussed. After brief description of the ionosphere and ionospheric storm, the research topics on the GBAS applications are discussed. The need for ionospheric spatial gradient analysis is described and some results on the ionospheric spatial gradient during recent storm periods are discussed.

Since instrument landing system currently operating in most airports is operating in single-pass, it is not possible to accommodate a large number of aircraft. A satellite navigation system GBAS using a GNSS has been developed to solve these limitation when air traffic increases. GBAS is better than the ILS in position accuracy and capable of landing through multiple paths rather than a single path, the aircraft can perform varied landing procedures. In this paper, after we established a virtual ILS procedures at Taean Airfield in which ILS installation is impossible due to environmental requirements and airspace restrictions, flight test was performed by Cessna Skyhawk 172 to compare the virtual ILS procedures and curved approach procedure and the advantage of curved approach was confirmed.

According to the ICAO's Global Air Navigation Plan for CNS/ATM - Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance - systems, employing digital technologies, including satellite systems together with various levels of automation, are to be applied in support of a seamless global air traffic management system. For the future navigation, the focus of future implementation efforts can be placed entirely on an expected gradual migration toward GNSS-based navigation, Korea has been considered various options for airspace GNSS augmentation system: GBAS, SBAS and GRAS. This paper discusses current status and future trend of GNSS airspace navigation systems, and presents the results of possible augmentation options and scenarios to analyze system availabilities which could lead to the conclusion of the best program for Korea. The results showed that Korea could have sufficient availabilities from en-route to CAT-I approach with ABAS and GBAS. The study was in cooperated with MITRE, an American research company.

As the mechanical property of composite resin improved, composite resin has been widely used esthetic dentistry. In the field of esthetic dentistry, the color of prosthetic material is very important. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the color difference of specimens, by the types of alloys and gold electrodeposit. Experimental groups were as follows : Group Prec : Au-Pt alloy with no gold coating and no resin veneer. Group Semi : Pd-Ag alloy with no gold coating and no resin veneer. Group BAse : Ni-Cr alloy with no gold coating and no resin veneer. Group Gsem : Pd-Ag alloy with no gold coating and no resin veneer. Group Gbas : Ni-Cr alloy with no gold coating and no resin veneer. Group PreR : Resin veneer on the Pd-Ag alloy without gold coating. Group SemR : Resin veneer on the Pd-Ag alloy without gold coating. Group GbsR : Resin veneer on the Ni-Cr alloy with gold coating Group BasR : Resin veneer on the Ni-Cr alloy without gold coating. In this study, colors of metal surfaces and veneered resins were evaluated by the CIE $L^{*}a^{*}b$ system. The results obtained were as follows : 1. different alloy types and gold coating make the $L^{*}a^{*}b$ system. 2. The ${\Delta}E^*$ab value between groups semi and Base was less than 1.5 and there was no $a^*$ and $b^*$ value difference between groups Gsem and Gbas 3. The values of $L^*$ and $a^*$ ain groups GsemR and GbasR were so similar that the ${\Delta}E^*$ab value was as small as 0.58. 4. In resin specimens with gold coated semiprecious or base alloys showed yellower and redder deviation than the resin specimens with precious alloy. 5. The ${\Delta}E^*$ab values between goups PreR-GsemR and groups PreR-GbasR were as small as 2.68 and 2.22 respectively.

In this paper, we proposed a microstrip antenna (center frequency 118 MHz) with an omnidirectional radiation pattern that can replace the antennae used in VDB systems in GBAS. First, to obtain an omnidirectional radiation pattern from a microstrip antenna, we constructed a folded antenna. We then designed a miniaturized triple-folded antenna using perturbation effects. Thus we obtained suitable characteristics with a S₁₁ of -13.91dB, -10 dB bandwidth of 1.5 MHz (1.27%) in the center frequency of 118 MHz. Furthermore, in the yz-plane and xy-plane, the component exhibits an omnidirectional radiation pattern, and the size of the antenna achieves miniaturization of 64.2% compared to the reference antenna. Finally, it is suitable as an antenna for VDB systems in GBAS.

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.
