This study addresses on the design of performance monitoring system for the time synchronization service of the enhanced long-range navigation (eLoran) system, which has a representative ground-wave radio broadcast system capable of providing positioning, navigation, timing and data (PNT&D) services. The limitations of time-synchronized systems due to the signal vulnerabilities of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) are explained, and the performance monitoring system for the eLoran timing service as a backup to the GNSS is proposed. The time synchronization service using eLoran system as well as system configurations and the user requirements in the differential Loran (dLoran) system are described to monitor the time synchronization performance. The results of the designed system are presented for long-term operation in the eLoran testbed environment. As the results of time performance monitoring, we were able to verify the time synchronization precision within 43.71 ns without corrections, 22.52 ns with corrections. Based on these results, the eLoran system can be utilized as a precise time synchronization source for GPS timing backup.

It has been studied for DGPS/INS(Differential Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System) to offer the more precise and reliable navigation data with the aviation industry development. 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, as DGPS/INS, need more precise flight performance evaluation method. The performance analysis is performed by comparing between the DGPS/INS navigation data and reference trajectory which is more precise than DGPS/INS. The GPS receiver, which is capable of post-processed CDGPS(Carrier-phase DGPS) method, can be used as reference system. Generally, the DGPS/INS is estimated the CG(Center of Gravity) point of aircraft while the reference system is output the position of GPS antenna which is mounted on the outside of aircraft. For this reason, estimated error between DGPS/INS and reference system will include the error due to lever arm. In order to more precise performance evaluation, it is needed to compensate the lever arm. This paper presents procedure and result of flight test which includes lever arm compensation in order to verify reliability and performance of DGPS/INS more precisely.

The inaccuracy of inertial sensors used in low cost IMU's limits the usage to ARS, at best. Sensor fusion technologies are widely used to overcome this problem. GPS is the most popular secondary sensor, but GPS alone cannot fully compensate the IMU errors in the initial alignment process and rectilinear flights. This paper presents a new concept of aiding the low cost IMU with the sun line of sight vector. The simulation and experimental results in this paper proves that aiding of INS/GPS with the sun line of sight vector increases the observability and improves accuracy remarkably.

현재 국토해양부에서 전국을 대상으로 실시하고 있는 지상파 DMB 기반 DGPS 실험방송의 정확도를 PC기반 수신 시스템과 내비게이션 단말을 이용하여 평가하였다. 정확도 평가를 위한 지역은 인천 송도 신도시와 서울 반포지역으로, 두 지역에 측위 경로를 선정하여 이동측위를 실시하였으며 각각 GPS 단독측위와 DMB 기반 DGPS를 이용한 측위 결과를 비교하였다. 먼저 위치보정정보의 송수신을 위하여 개발된 PC 기반 수신 시스템을 이용한 정확도 평가 결과는 송도에서 GPS 단독측위의 경우 2.5m의 수평오차가 발생하였고, DMB 기반 DGPS는 1.5m의 수평오차가 발생하였다. 또한 반포지역에서는 GPS 단독에서 2.0m, DMB기반 DGPS에서는 0.8m 수평오차가 발생하였다. 앞서 PC 기반 수신 시스템을 통해 검증 된 알고리즘을 구현한 DMB 기반 DGPS 샘플 내비게이션 단말을 이용하여 동일한 방법으로 정확도를 평가하였고 본 논문에서 그 결과를 소개한다.

GPIR(GPS Position Information Revision) system is a new concept of GPS system which utilizes database containing the location of taking a picture by the existing GPS, an angle between a camera and a subject and the location information of buildings and minimizes the GPS's own margin of error and there by provides the services, such as location-guiding via GPS and way-guiding via navigation in an exact and precision way more than before. GPIR system comprehends the location of taking photos via GPS information saved in G-files, searches database in the direction of taking a photo at a photo-taking position via location information and the photo-taking directional angle. And GPIR system corrects the GPS information searched to the location of a subject, again saves such information in a G-file and is ready for receiving more detailed location of the subject. This study explores into the design and development of a receiver which a GPIR user is able to utilize its system as well as the design of the receiver's prototypes.

To overcome the limitation of tracking speed on signal-shaded area and the discontinuity of GPS, we present a system which estimates the speed of moving object using GPS and accelerometer. This system is designed to correct accelerometer's noises which are caused by vibration and impact to the object and errors of itself, from the navigation information of GPS receiver and accelerometer which are installed to moving object. And using this information, it estimates the speed of moving object on GPS signal-shaded area to complement discontinuity of GPS navigation information. We designed Kalman Filter structure using GPS and accelerometer to apply this system, and verify that the system can estimate object's speed on GPS signal-shaded area. Finally, we present the possibilities applying to telematics systems like automatic navigation system.

This study describes an SDINS/GPS/ZUPT integration algorithm for land navigation systems. The SDINS error can be decoupled in two parts. The first part is the the Schuler component which does not depend on object motion parameters, and the other is the Non-Schuler part which depends on the product of object acceleration and azimuth error. Azimuth error causes SDINS error in proportion to the traversed distance. The proposed system consists of a GPS/SDINS integration system and an SDINS/ZUPT integration system, which are both realized by an indirect feedforward Kalman filter. The main difference between the two is whether the estimate includes the Non-Schuler error or not, which is decided by the measurement type. Consequently, subtracting GPS/SDINS outputs from SDINS/ZUPT outputs provide the Non-Schuler error information which can be applied to improving azimuth accuracy. Simulation results using the raw data obtained from a van test attest that the proposed SDINS/GPS/ZUPT system is capable of providing azimuth improvement.

Wide Area Differential GNSS(WA-DGNSS) was developed in order to improve the accuracy and integrity performance of GNSS. In this paper, overall structure of Pseudolite-Based Augmentation System(PBAS) and experimental methods which enables the post-processing test with commercial receiver will be described. For generating augmenting message, GPS measurement collected from five NDGPS reference stations were processed by reference station S/W and master station S/W. The accuracy of augmenting message was tested by comparing SP3, IONEX data. In the test, RF signal of user was collected and correction data were generated. After that, RF signal was broadcasted with pseudolite signal. Test was conducted using three commercial receiver and the performance was compared with MSAS and standalone user. From the position output of each receiver, it was shown that improved position was obtained by applying augmenting message.

현재 차량 위치 추적 시 사용빈도가 가장 많은 방법은, 지도상에 자신의 위치를 수치로 보여주는 GPS 수신기를 사용하여 지도상 실외의 위치를 측위 한다. 위의 GPS를 이용한 내비게이션은 차량의 진행방향, 출발 도착 지점을 설정하여 차량을 운행한다. 또한 GPS 음영지역 및 신호 지연의 문제를 해결하기 위한 지자기센서와 가속도센서를 사용하는 시스템도 있다. 그러나 센서를 활용할 경우 차량의 방향 정보를 얻을 수 있지만 음영 및 신호 왜곡 시간이 길어질 경우 정확한 차량의 위치를 판단 할 수 없다. 즉, GPS의 신호에 오류가 있을 경우 차량의 이동거리를 알 수 없으므로 차량의 회전 정보는 효용 가치가 떨어진다. 따라서 이를 보정하기 위해서는 정확한 차량의 위치를 판단할 수 있는 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존 GPS의 문제를 해결하기 위해 차량의 속도정보와 스마트폰의 지자기센서를 활용한 실외 위치 추적 시스템과 WiFi 정보를 활용한 차량용 WPS시스템을 설계 하였다.

Using GPS carrier phase whose cycle ambiguities are resolved, it is possible to perform precise survey requiring centimeter-level positioning accuracy. Because of an optical illusion, we cannot recognize the exact slope of Dokaebi Road. In this paper, we performed kinematic survey experiments in order to calculate the exact slope of Dokaebi Road with high positioning accuracy of CDGPS. By post-processing experimental data using CDGPS, it was possible to generate the exact vertical trajectory of Dokaebi Road with centimeter-level accuracy.
