A significant factor limiting the ranging accuracy of Loran (Long Range Navigation) signal is the additional secondary factor (ASF) in the time of arrival (TOA) measurements. Precise ASF values are essential if Loran deliver the high absolute accuracies demanded for aircraft approach, maritime harbour entrance. We measured the absolute propagation delay between Pohang Loran signal and Loran receiver output signal by comparing with Cesium atomic clock. In this study we measured ASFs between Pohang 9930M station and the 12 measurement points in the Yeongil Bay by using the measurement technique of absolute time delay. The measurement points were spaced at interval of 3 km by 3 km. An E-field antenna and an H-field antenna were used to improve the accuracy of ASF measurements and a DGPS (Differential GPS) receiver was used for accurate positions. We have gotten the result that the measured ASFs were compared with the predicted ASFs through this measurement technique.

In order to detect and identify the GPS clock anomaly in the Differential GPS real environment, this paper addresses a method for minimizing the measurement noise of reference receivers. It estimates the real measurement noise that removed the uncommon error source from pseudorange measurement to minimize the measurement noise. Based on the output of two reference receivers, it first removes the uncommon errors, then optimizes the measurement noise by applying the correction data. Finally, it detects and identifies the satellite clock anomaly using the minimized measurement noise. The method will increase the availability of current DGPS reference system.

Generally, loop filter based scalar tracking loops (LF-STL) have been used for global positioning system (GPS) signal tracking algorithm. This paper introduces the accuracy and robustness of linear-quadratic-Gaussian based vector tracking loop (LQG-VTL) algorithm instead of LF-STL. To verify the accuracy of LQG-VTL, we confirm that the measurements estimation errors of the LQG based scalar tracking loops (LQG-STL) are improved by more than 60 % compared to LF-STL. Also, when LQG-VTL is used, measurements estimation errors decrease compared to LQG-STL, and position/velocity estimation errors also decrease as the number of satellites increases. To verify the robustness of LQG-VTL, we confirm that LQG-VTL can estimate position/velocity and measurements successively compared to LF-STL in temporal signal attenuation of 30 dB-Hz during 4 seconds.

The travel speed collected by the prove-car equipped with the GPS has the problems, which are the data's stability and finding out the representative travel speed, by the influence of the traffic signal and etc. at the interrupted traffic. This study was conducted to develop the method of filtering the outlier data from the data collected by the prove-car. The method to remove the outlier data from the serial data which were collected by the prove-car was adapted to each of the quartile deviation statistics model and the management graphic statistics model. The rate of removing the outlier data by the quartile deviation method was $0{\sim}3.7%$ while the rate by the management graphic statistic methods was $0.3{\sim}7.2%$. Both methods show the low removal rate at the dawn time when the traffic is inactivity, on the other hand the remove rate is high during the daytime. However, both methods have the problem such that the threshold level for removing the outlier data was established at the low bound in the case as good as the statistics model. Therefore, it is required for the experience calibration.

본 논문에서는 Beacon 신호를 이용하여 현재위치정보 도출하고 그를 활용하는 어플리케이션을 개발하였다. Beacon을 바둑판 배열로 설치하고 이를 스마트폰과 서버의 통신을 이용하여 삼각측량법으로 자신의 위치를 도출한다. 이를 이용하여 GPS신호가 닿지 않는 지하나 건물에서 네비게이션 역할을 수행하고, 나아가서 다른 스마트폰의 위치까지 확인가능하다.

Positioning, navigation, and timing information has become a key element in the national core infrastructure and for emerging technologies, such as autonomous driving, lunar exploration, financial systems, and drones. Therefore, the provision of that information by navigation satellite systems is becoming increasingly important. Existing systems such as GPS (Global Positioning System), GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System), and BDS (BeiDou Navigation Satellite System) also provide augmentation, safety-of-life, search & rescue and short message communication and authentication services to increase their competitiveness. Those services and the signals generated for their provision have their own purpose and requirements. This article presents an overview of existing or planned satellite navigation satellite system services and signals, aiming to help understand their current status.

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.

이 논문에서는 육상교통 환경에서 GPS 가시 위성의 수가 부족할 경우 사용자 위치 결정 성능 향상을 위해 시각도움정보를 이용하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. GPS를 이용하여 정확한 위치를 구하기 위해서는 위성으로부터 송출된 신호가 수신기까지 도달하는데 걸린 시간을 정확히 구하는 것이 가장 중요한다. 이를 위하여 위성과 수신기 간의 시각이 정확히 동기가 되어야 하지만 대부분 저가 발진기를 사용하는 수신기의 측정치에는 수신기 시계오차가 포함되어 있다. GPS 측정치로부터 정확한 위치결정을 위해서는 수신기 시계 오차가 고려되어야 하기에 최소 4개의 위성이 필요하지만 건물, 차량, 나무 등의 장애물의 영향을 받는 육상교통 환경에서는 4개 미만의 위성이 관측되는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 이러한 경우 정상적인 방법으로 수신기 시계오차가 계산되지 않아 위치 결정 성능이 떨어지게 되므로, 시각도움정보를 활용하여 위치 결정 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 제안한 방법의 시각도움정보는 가시 위성이 4개 이상의 경우 결정된 수신기 시계오차를 수신기 시계 고정법을 적용하여 생성하였다. 가시 위성수가 3개로 결정된 위치 결과와 시각도움정보를 적용하여 결정된 위치와의 비교를 통해 위치 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
