A new method to deal with GPS indoor positioning by means of time synchronized switching GPS repeater has been developed by authors[1]. But the developed indoor positioning system has problems. Therefore, we proposed a method for indoor positioning using GNSS Repeater-Assisted. To solve the 3-dimensional user's position, the 4 or more retransmission antennas are needed in the previously proposed methods. If a GPS repeater periodically transmits the signal like as pseudollite, the information for assisting an acquisition and tracking can be informed to receiver. Then, the user position can be calculated using the induced weak signal. The advantage of the proposed algorithm is use of only 1 re-transmission antenna because the re-transmitted signal are not used for positioning but used for assisting an acquisition and tracking weak signals induced indoor. We analyze the propose algorithms through the experiment and performed the test of feasibility.

GPS는 기존의 주 용용분야인 항법시스템으로서 뿐만 아니라 최근 들어와서는 보정위성항법의 원리와 미지정수(Integer Cycle Ambiguity)결정 알고리즘을 이용하여 GPS수신기와 3~4개의 안테나로 자세결정을 하는데 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고가의 패치(Patch) 안테나를 장착한 수신기를 사용하지 않고 저가의 수신기 여러 대를 이용하여 자세결정을 할 수 있도록 이중차분(Double Difference)을 한 측정식을 이용하여 칼만필터를 통해 자세결정을 할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시하고 모의실험을 통해 제시한 알고리즘의 유용성을 고찰한다.

GPS receivers can be disrupted by intentional or unintentional jamming, then it is unable to receive GPS signals and it is impossible to get the correct navigation results. Anti-jamming schemes using array antennas are being studied well due to high performance of those, and the efforts to apply them to GPS receiver are also being done. A GPS receiver structure for a multiple beam-forming scheme among those schemes has been proposed in this paper, and the performance is also compared with that using a general GPS receiver structure. For a general GPS receiver structure, each satellite signal which is formed by a beam-forming scheme is summed to be processed in a part of digital signal processing. For a proposed GPS receiver structure, however, each satellite signal is respectively processed by a designated channel in a part of digital signal processing. Finally, it is confirmed that the proposed GPS receiver structure is superior to a general GPS receiver structure in a point of the carrier to noise power ratio and the navigation accuracy using a software platform.

The global positioning system (GPS) is a useful system in civilian and military applications. However, because of the weak signal, GPS receivers are vulnerable to interference caused by unwanted signals or intentional jammers. To alleviate this issue, a controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) array can be employed to adaptively place radiation pattern nulls toward the direction of the signal interference. The performance of the CRPA array improves as the number of antenna elements increases. Therefore, antenna miniaturization is highly desirable for CRPA applications. We designed a compact CRPA array based on seven electrically miniaturized microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) on a 5-inch ground platform. We used a non-Foster matching circuit to match efficiently miniaturized MPAs on an FR-4 substrate. Experimental results show that the non-Foster matching circuit significantly improves such elements of antenna performance as return loss and antenna gain. In addition, we confirmed that the mutual coupling of the proposed CRPA array is less than -45 dB.

As a preparatory study for Global Positioning System-Very Long Baseline Interferometry (GPS-VLBI) hybrid system, we examined if VLBI type observation of the GPS signal is realizable through a test experiment. The test experiment was performed between Kashima and Koganei, Japan, with 110 km baseline. The GPS L1 and L2 signals were received by commercial GPS antennas, down-converted to video-band signals by specially developed GPS down converters, and then sampled by VLBI samplers. The sampled GPS data were recorded as ordinary VLBI data by VLBI recorders. The sampling frequency was 64 MHz and the observation time was 1 minute. The recorded data were correlated by a VLBI correlator. From correlation results, we simultaneously obtained correlation fringes from all 8 satellites above a cut-off elevation which was set to 15 degree. 87.5% of L1 fringes and 12.5% of L2 fringes acquired the Signal to Noise Ratios which are sufficient to achieve the group delay precision of 0.1nsec that is typical in current geodetic VLBI. This result shows that VLBI type observation of GPS satellites will be readily realized in future GPS-VLBI hybrid system.

An attitude GPS receiver with 3 antennas obtains 3-dimensional attitude using GPS carrier phase measurement INS obtains the 3 dimensional navigation solution for IMU consisting of accelerometers and gyro. Ground-alignment process for the low -cost INS cannot be performed well due to the large sensor noise. Using the standard GPS receiver, however, continuous in-flight alignment for the INS becomes possible, and consequently, the errors in IMU sensors and navigation solution can be compensated. Especially with attitude measurement from the attitude GPS receiver, the compensation of errors in gyroscope and attitude would be done respite of the vehicle´s dynamics and their error covariance would be reduced. This paper presents ...

본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나의 방사개구면에 역 L형 기생소자를 수직으로 세운 이중대역 마이크로스트립 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 안테나는 GPS $L_1(1.575 GHz)$과 $L_2(1.227 GHz)$ 대역을 수용하도록 설계하였다. 먼저, GPS $L_1$ 대역은 반파장 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나를 이용하여 수용하였고, 섭동법을 이용하기 위해 방사개구면에 수직으로 세워 역 L형 기생소자를 패치안테나와 커플링시켜 공진시킴으로써 GPS $L_2$ 대역을 수용하였다. 다음으로 두 대역에서 모두 원형편파를 발생시키기 위해서 급전점 반대편 방사개구면에 각각의 편파에 해당하는 방사개구면에 역 L형 기생소자를 각각 세웠고, 패치 안테나의 급전점을 대각선으로 옮겨 이중대역 원형편파 마이크로스트립 안테나를 설계하였다. 이렇게 설계된 원형편파 안테나의 크기는 $88.5{\times}79{\times}10.4mm^3$ ($0.36{\lambda}_L{\times}0.32{\lambda}_L{\times}0.04{\lambda}_L$, ${\lambda}_L$은 1.227 GHz의 공기 중 파장)의 크기를 가지며, 단층으로 저자세를 유지한다. -10 dB 대역폭은 GPS $L_1$대역에서 116.3 MHz(7.4%), GPS $L_2$대역 64.3 MHz(5.2%)로 측정되어 GPS $L_1$과 $L_2$ 대역의 요구대역폭(각각 24 MHz)을 만족하였다. 3 dB 축비 대역폭은 11.7 MHz(0.74%)와 14 MHz(1.14%)로 각각 측정되었으며, 방사패턴은 두 대역에서 모두 브로드 사이드 방사패턴을 형성하였다.

In order to provided continuous solutions, latest developing navigation systems tend to integrate GPS receiver with INS or DR. Using the GPS carrier-phase measurements, an attitude GPS receiver with three antennas obtain the 3-dimensional attitude such as roll, pitch, and heading as well as position and velocity. With these angle measurements, in the attitude GPS/INS integrated system, attitude or gyro errors can be directly compensated. In this paper, we develop an integrated navigation system that combines attitude GPS receiver with INS. The performance of real-time integrated navigation system is determined by not only the implements of integration filter but also the synchronization of measurements. To meet these real-time requirements, the navigation software is implemented in multi-tasking structure in this paper. We also employ time-synchronization technique in the multi-sensor fusion. Experimental results show that the performance of the attitude GPS/INS integrated system is consistent even when cycle-slip occurs in carrier-phase measurements.
