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.

In this study, we analyzed the signal environment of 17 DGNSS stations operated by DGPS Central Office through TEQC quality checking, visibility analysis and site visits. With TEQC, we produced times series of four indices of TEQC quality checking: observation ratio, L1 pseudorange multipath, L2 pseudorange multipath, and the frequency of cycle slip events. From visibility analysis, the directions where missing observations are happening were identified and the result was verified through onsite investigation. Without considering TEQC indices at the six sites(Palmido, Eochungdo, Geomundo, Pyeongchang, Seongju, and Chungju), the average TEQC indices were: 98% observation ratio, 0.19m of L1 pseudorange multipath, 0.71m of L2 pseudorange multipath, and 1.3 cycle slips per 1000 observations. The observation ratios at Palmido and Eochungdo were low. It was found that receiver settings were incorrect so that they could track the P2 signal of GPS satellites with L2C capability. No signal-blocking obstacles were found around the Geomundo station except the lighthouse. Thus, we guess that the poor TEQC indices at the site are believed to be caused by problems in the GPS hardware or cables. The low observation ratio at Pyeongchang is being caused by the surrounding hills blocking the satellite view from the south to the northwest directions. Even though all of four TEQC indices were bad at Seongju and Chungju stations, we found that the signal reception environment at the two sites is in good condition. We think that the quality indices got poor probably because of malfunctioning equipment. So, further investigation is needed for the Seongju and Chungju sites.

본 연구에서는 기준국을 달리함으로써 관측 횟수를 달리하여 RTK-GPS 측량을 시행하여 보고 이에대한 정확도 분석을 토대로 지적측량에 효율적인 적용 방안을 제시하여 보고자 하였다. 실험지역을 선정하고 기준국을 달리하여 관측 후 기존 TS 성과와 비교한 결과, 제1기준국은 X좌표의 RMSE가 ${\pm}0.024m$, Y좌표의 RMSE가 ${\pm}0.016m$로 산출되었고, 제2기준국은 X좌표의 RMSE가 ${\pm}0.040m$, Y좌표의 RMSE가 ${\pm}0.029m$로 산출되었다. 이는 모두 현행 지적법령에서 규정하고 있는 성과인정 범위 이내의 오차이고, 더불어 두 성과의 차이는 크지 않았다. 따라서 GPS 위성자료 수신에 장애가 없다면 1회 관측으로도 충분히 안정적인 성과의 취득이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 측량 환경에 따라 주변에 수신에 제약을 받는 요소가 있다면 이러한 지역에 대해서는 성과의 안정적인 취득을 위해 2회 이상의 관측이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, a GPS/MEMS IMU integrated navigation receiver module capable of operating in a high dynamic environment is designed and fabricated, and the results is confirmed. The designed module is composed of RF receiver unit, inertial measurement unit, signal processing unit, correlator, and navigation S/W.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is the most ideal navigation system which can be used on the earth irrespective of time and weather conditions. GPS has been used for various applications such as construction, survey, environment, communication, intelligent vehicles and airplanes and the needs of GPS are increasing in these days. This paper deals with the design and implementation of the RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) for a GPS navigation computer in the GPS/INS integrated navigation system. The RTOS provides the optimal environment for execution and the base platform to develop GPS application programs. The key facilities supplied by the RTOS developed in this paper are priority-based preemptive scheduling policy, dynamic memory management, intelligent interrupt handling, timers and IPC, etc. We also verify the correct operations of all application tasks of the GPS navigation computer on the RTOS and evaluate the performance by measuring the overhead of using the RTOS services.

In general, Personal Navigation Systems (PNSs) can be defined systems to acquire pedestrian positional information. GPS is an example of PNS. However, GPS can only be used where the GPS signal can be received. Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) can estimate the positional information of pedestrians using Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Therefore, PDR can be used for GPS-disabled areas. This paper proposes a PDR scheme considering various movement types over GPS-disabled areas as combat environments. We propose a movement distance estimation scheme and movement direction estimation scheme as pedestrian's various movement types such as walking, running and crawling using IMU. Also, we propose a fusion algorithm between GPS and PDR to mitigate the lack of accuracy of positional information at the entrance to the building. The proposed algorithm has been tested in a real test bed. In the experimental results, the proposed algorithms exhibited an average position error distance of 5.64m and position error rate in goal point of 3.41% as a pedestrian traveled 0.6km.

GNSS signal is vulnerable to jamming signal because of well-known signal structure and weak signal power. For these reasons, the need for analysis of jamming effects and anti-jamming techniques of is increasing. In this paper, a GNSS signal generator is designed which includes a radio wave propagation model for six kind of tactical environments and a body masking model for the reception environment of a vehicle. The radio wave propagation model for downtown, rural, forest, coastline, waste land and snow or ice area is designed using two-ray model. The body masking model is designed the effect which the antenna is affected by the reception environment of a vehicle and radiation pattern from a user configuration. The performance of generated signals from the GNSS signal generator considering reception environment of a vehicle is evaluated by a commercial GPS L1 receiver(NordNav) in normal and jamming environment. Also, the generated GNSS signal is compared to a commercial GPS L1 H/W based RF signal generator(STR4500). The results show that the designed GNSS signal generator in a normal environment compared to the same navigation performance. In jamming environment, it is shown that the body masking effect and GNSS signal acquisition and tracking loss in compliance with the jamming signal are precisely working in the reception environment of a vehicle.

위치정보는 사용자에게 유용한 서비스를 제공하는데 필요한 주요 컨텍스트 중의 하나로, 이를 얻기 위해 GPS(Global Positioning System)가 널리 사용되고 있다. GPS는 위성신호를 이용하기 때문에 별도의 기지국이 필요 없고 전 세계를 포함하는 넓은 가용범위를 갖지만, 도심과 같이 높은 건물이 많은 지역에서는 수신이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 주변기기들의 위치정보를 공유 받아 모바일 기기의 GPS 정보손실을 복구하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 주변의 모바일 기기나 기지국의 유효한 위치정보를 근거리 통신의 애드혹 네트워크인 스캐터넷을 통해 공유받는다. 그 후, 근거리 통신의 가용범위와 지도상의 지형정보를 함께 고려하여 복구 알고리즘을 통해 자신의 위치를 추측한다. 본 논문에서는 최근 모바일 기기에 기본으로 장착되는 근거리 통신기술인 블루투스(Bluetooth)를 가정하여 시뮬레이션 환경을 모델링 하였으며, 실험결과 제안하는 방법을 통해 손실된 GPS 정보의 상당부분이 복구되는 것을 확인하였다.
