There are several ways such as GPS(Global Positioning System) and INS (Inertial Navigation System) to track the location of moving vehicle. The GPS has the advantages of having non-accumulative error even if it brings about errors. In order to obtain the position information, we need to receive at least 3 satellites information. But, the weak point is that GPS is not useful when the 혠 signal is weak or it is in the incommunicable region such as tunnel. In the case of INS, the information of the position and posture of mobile with several Hz~several hundreds Hz data speed is recorded for velocity, direction. INS shows a very precise navigational performance for a short period, but it has the disadvantage of increasing velocity components because of the accumulated error during integration over time. In this paper, sensor fusion algorithm is applied to both of INS and GPS for the position information to overcome the drawbacks. The proposed system gets an accurate position information from experiment using SVD in a non-accessible GPS terrain.

저궤도위성에서 수신한 지구대기에 의해 엄폐된(Occulted) GPS 신호를 이용한 연직 수증기량 산출에 관해 다루었다. 전파엄폐(Radio Occultation) 기법은 원래 행성대기에 의해 엄폐된(Occulted) 별빛을 이용하여 행성의 대기를 분석하는데 사용되던 기법을 일컫는 말로 최근엔 GPS를 이용한 지구대기 분석에 활용되고 있다. 1995년 GPS/MET 위성을 통해 처음으로 GPS 전파엄폐 기술을 통한 대기정보의 연직분포를 산출하였고, 현재는 COSMIC 위성군을 비롯해 많은 저궤도위성에서 GPS 전파엄폐기술을 통해 온도, 압력, 습도 등의 연직분포를 산출하고 있다. 이 중 연직 수증기량 분포는 기상예보를 위한 수치모델(Numerical Weather Model)에서 매우 중요한 초기 값이다. GPS 전파엄폐 기술을 통한 연직수증기량 산출은 라이오존데(Radiosonde)나 마이크로미터와 같은 연직수증기량 관측기기의 검증 및 상호 통합활용이라는 측면에서 활용가치가 매우 높다. 특히, GPS 전파엄폐 기법은 시공간적 제약이 상대적으로 전 지구적인 기후분석에는 적합한 기법으로 주목을 받고 있다. 이 연구에서는 COSMIC에서 제공하는 굴절각(Bending Angle)정보를 이용하여 연직 수증기량을 산출하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 또한 천문연이 보유하고 있는 마이크로미터에서 산출한 가강수량과의 비교.검증하기위한 방안을 도출하였다. 이 연구결과는 현재 진행 중인 다목적실용위성 5호의 전파엄폐용 수신기의 활용에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has become an indispensable tool for providing precise position, velocity and time information for many applications like traditional surveying and navigation etc. However, Global Positioning System (GPS), which was developed and is maintained and operated by the U.S. Department of Defence (DoD), has monopolized the world industry and market, and hence there exists the situation that most of GNSS users absolutely depend upon the GPS. In order to overcome the monopoly, some countries, such as Russia, Japan and European Union (EU), have developed their own GNSSs, so-called GLONASS, JRANS and Galileo systems. Among them, the most prospective system in near future is EU's Galileo system scheduled to launch in 2008. This research has focused on the next generation GNSS system based on GPS and Gralileo system with developing a GNSS simulation software, named as GIMS2005, which generates and analyzes satellite constellation and measurements. Based on the software, a variety of simulation tests have been carried out to recognize limits of GPS-only system and potential benefits of integrated GPS/Galileo positioning. Geometry simulation results have showed that comparing with GPS-only case, the number qf visual satellites, Dilution of Precision (DOP) values, internal reliabilities and external reliabilities.

This article investigates the problem of data preprocessing for the precision orbit determination (POD) of low earth orbit satellite using GPS .aw data. Several data preprocessing algorithms have been developed to edit the GPS data automatically such that outlier deletion, cycle slip identification and correction, and time tag error correction. The GPS data are precisely edited for the accuracy of POD. Some methods of data preprocessing are restricted to the rate of the collections of the pseudorange and carrier phase measurements. This study considers the preprocessing efficiency varied with the rate, the quality of receiver and the altitude of the satellite's orbit. We also propose the proper methods in accordance with the rate for single frequency and dual frequency receivers.

Currently many vessels determine an overhead obstruction by a rule of thumb based on their draft for maritime navigation. Therefore they doesn't have a good overhead obstruction clearance because vertical position of vessels varies on time by tidal. As a result, it is occurred maritime accidents that the mainmast of vessels is bumped against overhead facilities. And disaster by global warming and rising sea levels have increased casualties. So we feel keenly the necessity of warning system for not an earthquake but disaster wave such a tsunami. This paper analyzes a precise GPS ephemeris for maritime precise positioning to solve these problems. The precise GPS ephemeris provided by International GNSS service gives a difficulty to real-time application because of its sample interval. This paper proposes an effective interpolation method for real-time application, and it analyzes an accuracy of precise GPS ephemeris through an interpolation method.

Through the low orbit GPS satellite a 3-dimensional real time position detection can be achieved anywhere. Utilizing the GPS satellite detection values an analysis of the varing characteristics of the iono- sphere can be achicved, and by calculating the correlation relationship of the position detection error and the ionospheric time delay characteristics, an advanced algorithm technique can be developed. Computer simulation of the developed algorithm for defining the correlation between the position detec- tion error and the varing ionospheric time delay characteristics has been proceeded. The results of simulation reveal the fact that the varing characteristics of the ionosphere nearly match the actual ionospheric time delay characteristics.

GPS is an efficient system in surveying and car navigation. but it is difficult to catch minimum number of satellite when it is hindered by obstacle such as city area. GLONASS system doesn't have perfect constellation yet, but it has many similarities with GPS system in principle of point positioning and signal system. so, it is expected to be much efficient when it is used with GPS system. For the purpose of this, the coordinates of GPS and GLONASS system, the quality of time and frequency was investigated, and the algorithm of point positioning was made. also, the efficiency of GPS/GLONASS combination was presented by analysing the precision of 3D point positioning using C/A code and Yuma satellite orbit information.

GPS는 지구 중심으로부터 GPS 위성의 거리와 위성과 관측자사이의 의사거리(pseudorange)를 이용해서 위치를 결정하는 시스템이다. 1993년 6월 12일 연세대학교에서 3시간동안 관측하여 연세대학교의 위치를 구하였다. 이 위치는 WGS-84 타원체이므로 Bessel타원체로 좌표변환하였다. 위치를 결정하기 위해서는 정확한 위성의 위치와 의사거리에 미치는 잡음(noise)을 제거해야 한다. GPS 위성의 위치 결정에는 지구 비대칭중력항에 의한 섭동, 태양, 달에 의한 섭동, 태앙 복사압에 의한 섭동, 지각, 해양의 조석력에 의한 섭동, 태양빛의 지구 반사도(albedo)에 의한 섭동을 고려해야하며 이를 위해서 위성의 Telemetry를 분석하여 구해 보았다 의사거리의 잡음중 가장 큰 요소인 이온층, 대류층에 의한 지연(delay)에 대해 연구 하였고 각각 Kiobuchar모델, Hopfield모델을 써서 보정을 하였다. 자료 처리를 P모델, PV모델을 만들어 칼만 필터에 적용하였고 RV모델이 P모델보다 더 정확하였나, 위치 결정의 정확도를 알아 보기위해서 국립 천문대부설 GPS관측소에서 결정한 위치와 비교,분석하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new assisted global positioning system (A-GPS) using terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) data services. Because of the weak signal strength from GPS satellite and the signal blockage, it is difficult for the telematics terminal to determine the position in urban area. Proposed A-GPS system calculates pseudo range (PR) from timing information of GPS satellites and obtains the satellite information such as ephemeris from T-DMB station to determine the current position. Compared to conventional GPS system, the proposed system has better performance in terms of the fast time to first fix (TTFF), low horizontal dilution of precision (HDOP). Experimental results show that the proposed system is a feasible and robust solution.
