  • In this paper, we developed an adoptable deployment method to the transmitting antennas of a ground based GPS system for aircraft. Aircraft generally uses satellite providing GPS signals for accurate position information, but transfers to ground based GPS signals time to time due to jamming signals or bad weather. The position accuracy of the ground based GPS system is highly dependent on the number and position of the GPS transmitting antennas. In this research, we found an algorism to predict the DOP due to the location of the GPS transmitting antennas and had an accurate DOP 2.5 area into 3-dimension from 0 to 10 km by 12 transmitting antennas.

  • For a relatively small country like Korea, a radionavigation system using airships can be considered, which is to provide the navigation service utilizing the stratospheric airships that are deployed in the stratosphere at the altitude of around 20-23km, and which is an independent or a back-up radionavigation system other than current GPS or GLONASS. In this paper, a feasibility study on the constellation of stratospheric airships for the navigation system has been performed. A measure of a geometrical condition between a receiver and navigation transmitters. called the DOP (Dilution of Precision), determines the resulting positioning error of the navigation system, if the error of range measurement is predictable. Therefore, with assumption that the range measurement error of the stratospheric airship navigation system is quite similar to GPS. the several DOP values have been used to evaluate the performance of the navigation system with comparing with the DOP values of GPS as the reference values. To provide the position information of the navigation transmitters to users, a receiver cluster system fixed on the ground, called an IGPS (inverted GPS), is proposed, and the error is also evaluated using the DOP values. Five areas around five major cities in South Korea have been selected, and then by numerical simulations the DOP values are compared those of GPS to assess the performance of the proposed navigation system using stratospheric airships. The possible frequency bands have been proposed. and then link budget of the navigation transmitter has been analyzed for the proposed navigation system.

  • In this paper, the DOP improvement was studied for the solution to an intentional jamming and the increase of position accuracy by selecting preferred satellites with hybrid satellite navigation system(both GPS and GLONASS). As a result of data analysis, the increases in 0.3 ~ 0.8 GDOP, 0.2 ~ 0.6 PDOP, and 0.1 ~0.3 TDOP were acquired by using hybrid satellite navigation system instead of GPS-only.

  • GPS를 이용하여 고정밀도의 위치정보를 얻기 위해서는 가시위성의 기하학적 배치가 매우 중요한 요소로 작용되며 이 척도가 DOP라고 불리는 계수이다. 본 논문에서는 향후 많은 항법위성이 생길 경우 통합방식에 의해 원하는 위성을 선택함으로서 고의적인 재밍에 대한 대책 및 위치정보의 정밀도 향상 측면에서 매우 유용할 것으로 판단되어 첫 단계로 GPS 와 GLONASS의 통합 시스템 구축시 정밀도의 근간을 이루는 DOP 향상에 대하여 연구하였다. 데이터 분석결과 단독 GPS 사용시 보다 통합 GNSS 시스템이 0.3 ~ 0.8 정도의 우수한 GDOP 정보를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 이는 GDOP 뿐만이 아니라 결과적으로 고정밀도의 위치정보를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • A method for improving the integrated navigation performance in the INS/GPS navigation system by the considering that the condition that the geometric arrangement of the satellite is degraded due to limitation of the line of sight of the satellite such as geographic feature and GPS signal jamming is proposed. A variable covariance extended Kalman filter (VCEKF) that correlated to the measured covariance to the DOP of GPS is suggested. The navigation performance of integrated navigation system using EKF and VCEKF is analyzed by Monte-Carlo simulations. The result is verified that VCEKF has better estimation performance than EKF using fixed covariance on condition that DOP value is larger than the smaller value.

  • This paper analyzes the availability and Dilution Of Precision (DOP) of GPS, widely used in positioning, with and without augmentation using QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System). Orbit simulator for QZSS is developed using Kepler‘s orbital parameters. Also 3D modeling technique based on three-Dimensional GIS digital map and satellite tracking algorithm for visible satellite simulation system are discussed. Performance improvement of the availability and DOP were achieved by combining GPS with QZSS at urban environment of Seoul.

  • In this paper, we describe on the position error of GBAS. In reality, there are many sources which make errors into the calculation of receiver position. It is well known that the DOP of GBAS is an important position error source and is dependent on the numbers and positions of the transmitters. Here, we develop an algorism to calculate the DOP of the GNSS with 2-line transmitters into Korean area. The result is useful to predict the DOP of the positions where transmitters and receivers are located.

Second, the geometry model with respect to triangles formed using unit-vectors were proposed for investigation of land-based radio positioning. Finally, the corresponding mathematical formulations for DOP values and covariance matrix were designed for two-dimensional positioning.

  • There are several applications and error analysis methods using GPS(Global Positioning System) In most analysis positioning and timing errors are represented as the multiplication of DOP(Dilution Of Precision) and measurement errors, which are affected by the receiver and measurement type. Therefore, lots of DOPs are defined and used to analyze and predict the performance of positioning and timing systems. In this paper, the relationships between these DOPs are investigated in detail, The relationships between GDOP(Geometric DOP), PDOP(Position DOP) and TDOP(Time DOP) in the absolute positioning are de-rived. Using these relationships, the affect of clock bias is analyzed. The relationships between RGDOP(Relative DOP) and PDOP are also derived in relative positioning where the single difference and double dif-ference techniques are used. From the results, it is expected that using the common clock will give better performance when the single difference technique is used while the effects of clock is eliminate when the double difference technique is used. Finally, the error analyses of dual frequency receivers show that the narrow lane measurements give more accurate results than wide line of or L1. L2 independent measurements.

  • In this paper, we performed simulations of aircraft automatic landing using GPS, DGPS and CDGPS. Our purpose is examining the possibility of aircraft landing using GPS through the simulation results. The aircraft landing is composed of two stages, glide-slope and flare. Therefore, LQG controllers are designed separately. In simulations, measurement noise depends not only on UERE and UERRE(which have different values in GPS, DGPS, and CDGPS) but also on DOPs. DOPs are determined only by the geometry of GPS satellite constellation. For DOP calculation, we also made program for GPS satellites orbit simulatiion. Accordin to the simulation results, ICAO CAT III can be achieved of CDGPS is used.
