GPS/INS 항법시스템의 설치에 있어서 대다수의 경우 GPS 수신기 안테나는 차량의 외부에 설치하게 되고 IMU는 내부에 설치하게 된다. Lever Arm 오차는 이와 같이 센서의 장착 위치 차이로 인하여 발생하는 구조적인 오차에 해당한다. Lever Arm 오차는 항법성능에 직접적으로 영향을 주기 때문에 적절한 보상이 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 GPS와 INS의 속도 측정치를 활용하여 임의의 위치에 장착된 두 센서의 Lever Arm 오차를 효과적으로 추정하고 보상하는 방식을 제안하였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하였으며, 항체의 회전운동 구간에서 Lever Arm 오차 보상이 특히 중요함을 보였다.

GPS와 GLONASS에서 얻어지는 반송파 위상 측정치는 다른 특성을 가지므로, 정밀한 위치 혹은 자세를 구하기 위해서는 서로 다른 방법으로 측정치를 처리해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 GPS와 GLONASS를 동시에 사용할 수 있는 GLONASS의 측정모델을 유도하였다. 이로부터 오차해석을 수행하여 GPS와 GLONASS에서의 GDOP, PDOP, RGDOP의 해석적인 관계를 유도하였다. 또한 기존의 GPS용으로 만들어진 미지정수 검색기법을 GLONASS 혹은 GPS와 GLONASS가 동시에 사용되는 경우에도 사용할 수 있도록 새롭게 확장했다. 이 결과는 GPS와 GLONASS 반송파 위상 측정치를 이용하여 정밀한 위치 및 시각을 구하는데 필수적인 기술로 수신기 설계 및 다양한 응용 프로그램에 직접 적용될 수 있으며, 향후 GPS 근대화, Galileo, QZSS등 서로 측정치 및 오차특성이 다른 위성 항법 시스템을 통합하는데 효과적으로 사용될 것으로 기대한다.

GPS 반송파 위상관측값은 미지정수를 포함하고 있어 이를 효과적으로 해결하기 위해 분산-공분산 행렬의 비상관화 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 미지정수 비상관화 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이 방법은 분산-공분산 행렬을 유사한 크기의 작은 4개 블록으로 나눈 다음 각 블록을 독립적으로 비상관화 하는 것이다. 각 블록의 비상관화는 전 단계의 결과가 다음 단계의 과정에 영향을 받지 않도록 귀납적으로 이루어진다. 임의로 선정된 몇가지 수치적 예시에 의하면 이 방법은 기존의 다른 방법보다 좋거나 유사한 결과를 보여 주지만, 분산-공분산 행렬의 작은 블록에서 계산이 이루어지므로 본 방법의 계산 속도가 상대적으로 빠르다.

This study developed an approach for improving Carrier-phase Differential Global Positioning System (CDGPS) based realtime satellite relative navigation by applying laser baseline measurement data. The robustness against the space operational environment was considered, and a Synthetic Wavelength Interferometer (SWI) algorithm based on a femtosecond laser measurement model was developed. The phase differences between two laser wavelengths were combined to measure precise distance. Generated laser data were used to improve estimation accuracy for the float ambiguity of CDGPS data. Relative navigation simulations in real-time were performed using the extended Kalman filter algorithm. The GPS and laser-combined relative navigation accuracy was compared with GPS-only relative navigation solutions to determine the impact of laser data on relative navigation. In numerical simulations, the success rate of integer ambiguity resolution increased when laser data was added to GPS data. The relative navigational errors also improved five-fold and two-fold, relative to the GPS-only error, for 250 m and 5 km initial relative distances, respectively. The methodology developed in this study is suitable for application to future satellite formation-flying missions.

After the removal of SA (Selective Availability), horizontal accuracy of 25m(2dRMS) is easily obtained using GPS (Global Positioning System). In this paper, the error characteristics without SA are analyzed and a navigation algorithm concerns this error characteristics is proposed to further improve the accuracy. The proposed method utilizes the relationship between elevation angle and errors that are remained after ionospheric and troposheric delay compensation. The relationship is derived from real measurements and used as a weighting matrix of weighted least squares estimator. Furthermore, a RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) technique is included to remove abnormal measurements affected by multi-path or low SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio). It is shown that using the proposed method, more than 4 times accurate result, which is comparable with DGPS (Differential GPS), can be obtained from experiments with real data. Besides accuracy and reliability, the proposed method reduces large jumps in position and maintains better performance than a method using mask angle to completely remove satellites below this mask angle. Thus it is expected that the proposed method can be efficiently applied to land navigation where some satellites are blocked by building or forest.

In many applications of UAVs flying in low altitude, the steady supply of accurate height measurements is very important for the UAVs to complete their mission successfully. In order to do this, a barometer or GPS height measurements are widely used. However, because these two sensors have their limitations in the application environment, a method for fusing these two measurements to produce reference heights are required. In this paper, a reference height generation filter is designed for UAV(Unmanned Air Vehicle) applications. The barometer errors originated by the change of the atmospheric environment are modeled using random walk models, and then the errors are identified and compensated through the ZSB(zero-scan-back) filter algorithm using the GPS height measurements. The performance of the proposed filter is demonstrated by realistic simulations.

This letter presents a filter for a car navigation system integrating a low-grade inertial measurements unit (IMU) and a global positioning system receiver. The filter is designed according to the state variables to be estimated and the usable measurements. The usable measurements change from case to case, and the estimative state variables also change due to the measurements; therefore, multiple models must be used for real environmental maneuvers. In this letter, four models for land navigation are chosen and switched by rearranging the system matrix and resetting the error covariance matrices.

The purpose of establishing GPS networks of continuously operating reference stations (CORS) is aimed to assist land surveying or crustal deformation in the early stage. However, with a fast evolving and improving path the GPS technique has been extended to accurately measure atmospheric precip itable water vapor as a core objective of many projects developed in many countries and regions such as the SuomiNet (U.S., UNAVCO), COST716 (European, COST), GEONET (Japan, GSI), ...etc. In this paper, we present the current progress of the being-set-up GPS network in Taiwan whose atmospheric profile observations mainly count on the traditional radiosonde soundings as typically seen in any other part of the world. The GPS data collected from the Taiwan dense GPS network primarily supported by Central Weather Bureau are processed using the Bernese software version 4.2. Precipitable water vapor is then derived with the auxiliary surface meteorological measurements. Time series of precipitable water are examined and analyzed. A focus on the extreme weather cases is shown as an example.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning has been widely used in geodesy, surveying, and navigation fields. RTK can benefit enormously from the integration of multi-GNSS. In this study, we develop a GPS/BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) RTK integration algorithm for long baselines ranging from 128 km to 335 km in South Korea. The positioning performance with GPS/BDS RTK, GPS-only RTK, and BDS-only RTK is compared in terms of the positioning accuracy. An improvement of positioning accuracy over long baselines can be found with GPS/BDS RTK compared with that of GPS-only RTK and that of BDS-only RTK. The positioning accuracy of GPS/BDS RTK is better than 2 cm in the horizontal direction and better than 5 cm in the vertical direction. A lower Relative Dilution of Precision (RDOP) value with GPS/BDS integration can obtain a better positional precision for long baseline RTK positioning.
