This paper analyzed the precision and accuracy of the altitude-aided GNSS using the altitude information from digital map. The precision of altitude-aided GNSS is analysed using the theoretically derived DOP. It is confirmed that the precision of altitude-aided GNSS is superior to the general 3D positioning method. It is also shown that the DOP of altitude-aided GNSS is independent of altitude bias error while the accuracy was influenced by the altitude bias error. Furthermore, it is shown that, since the altitude bias error influenced differently to each pseudorange measurement, the effect of the altitude bias error is more serious than clock bias error which does not influence position error at all. The results are evaluated by the simulation using the commercial RF simulator and GPS receiver. It confirmed that altitude-aided GNSS could improve not only precision but also accuracy if the altitude bias error are small. These results are expected to be easily applied for the performance improvement to the land and maritime applications.

GNSS 측위 정확도에 영향을 주는 전리층 오차는 전리층에 존재하는 전자로 인해 위성의 전파가 굴절됨에 따라 발생하는데 태양활동 정도, 지역, 시간에 따라 그 값이 변한다. 정밀한 전리층 오차 추정이 가능한 이중주파수 수신기와 달리 단일 주파수 수신기의 경우에는 전리층 오차 모델이나 인근 고정기준국을 통해 제공 받는 의사거리 보정정보에 의존해야 한다. 하지만 일반적인 전리층 오차 경향과 달리, 국지적으로 전리층 총 전자수의 급격한 변화가 발생하는 경우 전리층 오차모델을 통한 오차 보정이 어려우며 만약 전리층의 변화가 고정기준국 상공의 전리층과 상이하다면, 의사거리 보정정보를 이용하여도 전리층 오차를 보정하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는, 이런 위험에 대처하기 위한 국지적 전리층 이상 현상에 대한 감시 기법에 대해 제안하고 실제 전리층 이상 현상이 발생한 데이터를 이용해 이를 검증하였다. 제시된 기법을 통해 전리층 이상 현상 발생 여부를 파악하고 단일 주파수 수신기 사용자의 항법해에 대한 신뢰도를 증가시킬 수 있을 것이다.

위성항법시스템은 전지구에서 어디에서나 위성신호만 수신하면 수신기의 위치와 시간 정보를 획득할 수 있는 편리한 시스템이다. 하지만 항법신호는 오차를 포함하고 있고 신호의 수신 상태에 따라 수신기의 위치 오차가 발생한다. 또한, 위성들의 기하학적 배치에도 위치 오차는 영향을 받는다. 그러므로 가시위성의 개수와 상태에 따라 수신기의 위치 성능은 변화한다. 특히, 위성이 뜨거나 지는 시각에는 해당 위성의 신호 상태가 좋지 않으며 도심지에서 건물 등의 장애물로 인해 신호가 차단되는 경우에는 수신기의 위치가 변화하여 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 보정량을 추정하여 수신기가 측정한 의사거리에 반영하는 기법과 가시위성을 조정하는 기법을 이용하여 위성항법 성능을 향상하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법을 가시위성의 개수가 빈번하게 변화하는 환경에 적용하여 위성항법 시스템의 성능향상을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a 3D carrier-smoothed GNSS/DR (Global Navigation Satellite System/Dead Reckoning) integrated system for precise ground-vehicle trajectory estimation. For precise DR navigation on sloping roads, the AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) methodology is employed. By combining the integrated carrier phase of GNSS and DR sensor measurements, a vehicle trajectory with an accuracy of less than 20cm is obtained even when cycle slip or change of visibility occur. In order to supplement the weak GNSS environment with DR successfully, the DR sensor is precisely compensated for using GNSS Doppler measurements when GNSS visibility is good. By integrating a multi-GNSS receiver with low-cost IMU, a precise 3D navigation system for land vehicles is proposed in this paper. For real-time implementation, a decoupled Kalman filter is employed in the integrated system. Through field experiments, the performance of the proposed system is verified in various road environments, including sloping roads, good-visibility areas, high multi-path areas, and under-ground parking areas.

GNSS 수신기는 자율주행 자동차에 장착되어 항법 장치를 이루는 필수 요소이다. 하지만 의도적인 재밍 신호가 발생하였을 경우, GNSS 수신기 추정 위치 값의 성능 저하로 인해 사고 위험에 노출될 우려가 있다. 이를 방지하기 위한 연구가 필요하며, 그에 따라 재밍 발생 장치가 구비되어야 한다. 그러나 재밍에 관련한 법 조항에 따라 이를 불법으로 규정하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 법 조항을 준수하고, 주위 GNSS 센서에 영향을 주지 않는 차량 내 재밍 발생 장치를 구현한다. GNSS 알고리즘의 성능 평가를 위해 드라이빙 시뮬레이션을 활용하며, 간섭 환경에서 발생하는 자율주행 차량의 오작동 및 GNSS 센서에서 출력된 데이터 오차를 분석한다.

For a GNSS receiver's robustness against RFI and the high accuracy of navigation solution in GNSS, interference source detection and mitigation are needed. In this paper, an adaptive lattice IIR notch filter is employed to track single-tone continuous wave and swept continuous wave interference signals, and an interference detection method is proposed. Furthermore, this paper presents interference source characterization algorithm using multiple ground stations' interference detection results. The measurement of the signal powers from each ground station is used to build weighting factors to estimate the type of the interference. The performance of interference detection algorithm is simulated for scenarios of GPS signal in the presence of single-tone continuous wave interference and swept continuous wave interference.

The accuracy and integrity of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) can be improved by using GNSS augmentation systems. Large ionospheric spatial gradient, during ionosphere storm, is a major threat for using GNSS augmentation systems by increasing the spatial decorrelation between a reference system and users. Ionosphere decorrelation behavior can be analyzed by using dual frequency GPS data. GNSS receivers have their own biases, called inter-frequency bias (IFB) between dual(P1 and P2) frequencies and they must be accurately estimated before computing ionosphere delays. GPS network data in Korea is used to compute each receiver's IFB, and their estimation accuracy and variability are analyzed. IFB estimation methodology to apply for ionosphere gradient analysis is discussed.

A graphic processing unit (GPU) can perform the same calculation on multiple data (SIMD: single instruction multiple data) using hundreds of to thousands of special purpose processors for graphic processing. Thus, high efficiency is expected when GPU is used for the generation and correlation of satellite navigation signals, which perform generation and processing by applying the same calculation procedure to tens of millions of discrete signal samples per second. In this study, the structure of a GPU-based GNSS simulator for the generation and processing of satellite navigation signals was designed, developed, and verified. To verify the developed satellite navigation signal generator, generated signals were applied to the OEM-V3 receiver of Novatel Inc., and the measured values were examined. To verify the satellite navigation signal processor, the performance was examined by collecting and processing actual GNSS intermediate frequency signals. The results of the verification indicated that satellite navigation signals could be generated and processed in real time using two GPUs.

GNSS has the disadvantage of being vulnerable to jamming, and thus, the necessity of jamming countermeasure techniques has gradually increased. Jamming countermeasure techniques can be divided into an anti-jamming technique and a jammer localization technique. Depending on the type of a jammer, applicable techniques and performance vary significantly. Using an appropriate jamming countermeasure technique, the effect of jamming on a GNSS receiver can be attenuated, and prompt action is enabled when estimating the location of a jammer. However, if an inappropriate jamming countermeasure technique is used, a GNSS receiver may not operate in the worst case. Therefore, jammer identification is a technique that is essential for proper action. In this study, a technique that identifies a jammer based on template matching was proposed. For template matching, analysis of a received jamming signal is required; and the signal analysis was performed using a spectral correlation function. Based on a simulation, it was shown that the proposed identification of jamming signals was possible at various JNR.

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.
