Fault detection and isolation (FDI) algorithms provide fault monitoring methods in GPS measurement to isolate abnormal signals from the GPS satellites or the acquired signal in receiver. In order to monitor the occurred faults, FDI generates test statistics and decides the case that is beyond a designed threshold as a fault. For such problem of fault detection and isolation, this paper presents and evaluates position domain integrity monitoring methods by formulating various pseudorange prediction methods and investigating the resulting test statistics. In particular, precise measurements like carrier phase and Doppler rate are employed under the assumption of fault free carrier signal. The presented position domain algorithm contains the following process; first a common pseudorange prediction formula is defined with the proposed variations in pseudorange differential update. Next, a threshold computation is proposed with the test statistics distribution considering the elevation angle. Then, by examining the test statistics, fault detection and isolation is done for each satellite channel. To verify the performance, simulations using the presented fault detection methods are done for an ideal and real fault case, respectively.

A precision orbit determination (POD) system of low Earth orbiter using the GPS dual frequency measurements has been developed. It is an option of KOMPSAT-2 POD process system. In this research, the orbit determination using the real dual frequency carrier phase measurements of the SAC-C satellite was conducted to verify KOMPSAT-2 POD system reliability. The SAC-C satellite is an international cooperative mission between NASA, the Argentine Commission on Space Activities (CONAE), Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES or the French Space Agency), Instituto Nacional De Pesquisas Espaciais (Brazilian Space Agency), Danish Space Research Institute, and Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (Italian Space Agency). The SAC-C was launched at November 21, 2000. The altitude of SAC-C is 702 km and it carries a TurboRogue III GPS and four high gain antennas developed by the JPL. The receiver is able to generate the dual frequency code and carrier phase data. Double-differenced carrier phase measurements were formed using 25 IGS stations. The data were sampled at 30 seconds interval. Fully dynamic approach was adopted for POD. The POD results were compared with those of JPL using GOA n software. The comparison verifies that deci-meter level 3D position accuracy of low Earth orbiting satellite could be achieved. The POD system has been developed successfully.

이 논문에서는 GPS L1/L2 이중 주파수 반송파 위상 관측값을 사용하여 100km 이상의 장기선을 가지는 저궤도 편대비행위성의 상대위치결정 기법을 연구하였다. 더욱 다양한 응용분야로의 유연한 확장을 위해 위성의 동역학 모델을 고려하지 않았고 이중 주파수 GPS 관측값과 오차 모델링을 기반으로 확장칼만필터를 통해 구하고자 하는 미지의 변수를 추정하였다. 편대비행위성 간 기선의 증가로 인해 공통오차로 소거되지 않고 남아있는 전리층 지연 오차는 전리층 매핑 모델을 사용하여 계산하였다. 정수형 미지정수 검색은 정수 최소 자승 조건을 만족하는 미지정수를 보다 빠르고 효율적으로 검색할 수 있는 MLAMBDA 기법을 적용하였다. 결정된 정수형 미지정수의 검정은 비율 테스트를 통해 판정하였다. 제안된 기법의 검증을 위해 편대비행위성 간 상대 기선 거리가 100 km 이상 떨어져 있는 가상의 편대비행위성 시나리오를 구성하여 상대위치결정 정확도를 분석하였다. 분석된 결과를 통해 제안된 기법은 장기선에서의 반송파 위상 미지정수 결정과 mm 수준의 정밀한 상대위치결정이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Resolving the integer ambiguity of GPS carrier phase measurements is the most important routine in precise positioning. In this paper, success rate is analyzed when using baseline information in the process of determining attitude. The result is verified through the simulation. Determining the initial position for the ambiguity resolution is estimated by using code measurement and baseline constraint. Success rate is estimated using covariance of the formed initial position. UKF has been used to overcome the nonlinear baseline condition during the process so that the higher success rate has been obtained compared with the general attitude determination.

A CCD camera is used to determine the position of the point sources that influence the measurement accuracy in the absolute interferometer. The principle of determination method is based on the GPS in which the position is determined by more than 3 distance information from the known positions. Two-dimensional array of photo-detectors in the CCD camera is used as known positions. Performing optimization of the cost function constructed with phase values measured at each pixel on the CCD camera, the position coordinates of each source is precisely determined.

Modernized GPS will have three frequencies modulated with three signals, which will be accessible to all users in the near future. This new frequency provides an opportunity to resolve the double differenced (DD) integer ambiguity very fast and with almost no baseline constraints. In order to study the performance of triple frequency system for Ambiguity Resolution (AR) over the medium baseline under different ionospheric levels, the Klobuchar Model was implemented and used in our triple simulation to generate the ionospheric delay. Furthermore, the White-Gaussian noise applying to distance-dependent parameters was added to the DD ionospheric delay. For medium baseline (defined as here 20 to 40kms), success rates of AR has been pretty improved. In this paper, the medium baseline AR strategies that take advantage of carrier phase measurement on the third frequency will be discussed.

의사위성은 GPS의 보조적인 역할을 하는 위성으로 우주 상공의 GPS 위성과는 달리 지상의 고정된 장소에 설치되어 GPS 신호의 수신이 좋지 않은 지역이나 실내, 특정 지역에서 인공위성을 대체하는 항법 시스템이다. 의사위성을 이용해 측위 기능을 수행하기 위해서는 의사위성과 GPS 위성간의 시각동기가 요구된다. 일반적으로 $1{\mu}sec$의 시각동기 오차가 발생한 경우 300m의 의사거리 오차가 발생하며 미터단위의 측위를 위해서는 나노세크급의 시각동기가 요구된다. 이러한 동기 성능은 측위 성능에 매우 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 시각동기방안 및 동기 오차요소에 대해 언급하고 의사위성의 클럭을 GPS 위성 클럭에 동기 시키기 위한 의사위성 스테이션 구축 기법, 한국표준과학연구원의 시각정보원 활용 기법, PRN 코드 위상차 활용 기법의 3가지 방안 제시하였다. 또한 방안에 따른 동기 성능 분석을 위해 시뮬레이션 플랫폼을 제안하였다.

To use the Global Positioning System (GPS) carrier phase measurement for precise positioning, the integer ambiguities at the early stage of most algorithms must be determined. Furthermore, if a precise positioning is to be applied to real time navigation, fast determination and validation methods for integer ambiguity are essential. In this paper, the Wald test that simultaneously determines and validates integer ambiguities is used with assistance of the Inertial Navigation System (INS) to improve its performance. As the Wald test proceeds, it assigns a higher probability to the candidate that is considered to be true at each time step. The INS information is added during the Wald test process. Large performance improvements were achieved in convergence time as well as in requiring fewer observable GPS satellites. To test the performance improvement of the Wald test with the INS information, experimental tests were conducted using a ground vehicle. The vehicle moved in a prescribed trajectory and observed seven GPS satellites. To verify the effect of the INS information on the Wald test, the convergence times were compared with cases that considered the INS information and cases that did not consider the INS information. The results show that the benefits of using the INS were emphasized as fewer GPS satellites were observable. The performance improvement obtained by the proposed algorithm was shown through the fast convergence to the true hypothesis when using the INS measurements.

In the GPS attitude determination system, the baseline length constraints can be used efficiently to reduce the search space. It is possible by adopting the assumptions that the baseline length doesn't change and the true baseline length is precisely known. But in real situation, the baseline length might be changed by many reasons and it is impossible to measure the true baseline length because there exists measurement error and antenna phase centre movement. In order to analyze the effect of the baseline length accuracy, one needs to know the relation between the accuracy of the baseline length and success rates of the integer ambiguity resolution. In this paper, the effect of the baseline length accuracy to the integer ambiguity resolution in the attitude determination system is analyzed by empirical method. The results show that the margins in the baseline length accuracy is less than a few cm which implies that one should take great cares when applying the attitude determination system to the flexible structures.

다목적실용위성-5호는 2010년 발사를 목표로 고도 550km의 저궤도에 위치하게 될 것이다. 다목적실용위성-5호의 임무인 고정밀 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상을 처리하기 위해서는 정확한 위성의 위치(20cm) 와 속도(0.03cm/s)가 결정되어야 한다. 이러한 요구 조건은 한국 전자통신연구원에서 개발한 ETRI GNSS Precise Orbit Determination(EGPOD) 소프트웨어로 검증하였다. 0.1Hz 수신 주기의 SAC-C 위성 반송파위상 데이터로 정밀궤도결정을 수행하였다. 이중 주파수 GPS 데이터를 사용하여 수신 선호의 전리층 오차를 대부분 제거하고 이중 차분된 데이터를 생성함으로써 GPS 위성과 수신기의 공통된 시계 오차를 없앴다. 동역학 모델 접근 방법을 이용하였고, Batch Least Square Estimator(BLSE) 필터로 각 데이터 아크(arc) 에 해당하는 위성의 위치와 속도, 대기저항 계수, 태양풍 계수를 추정하였다. 또한 정밀한 동역학 모델을 위하여 모델 되지 않은 부정확한 가속도 항을 보충하는 경험 가속도를 추가하였다. 경험 가속도는 위성의 공전 주기(revolution) 당 한번씩 시선방향(radial), 진행방향(along-track), 수직방향(cross-track)으로 추정하고, 수직방향의 상수 항에 대해서는 해당 데이터 아크에 관하여 부가적으로 추정하였다. 정밀궤도결정 결과 검증을 위하여 EGPOD 소프트웨어에서 얻어진 결과와 JPL에서 제공하는 정밀궤도력(Precise Orbit Ephemeris)을 비교하였다.
