The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides more accurate positioning estimation performance by processing L1 and L2 signals simultaneously through dual frequency signal processing technology at the L-band rather than using only L1 signal. However, if anti-spoofing (AS) mode is run at the GPS, the precision (P) code in L2 signal is encrypted to Y code (or P(Y) code). Thus, dual frequency signal processing can be done only when the effect of P(Y) code is eliminated through the L2 signal processing technology. To do this, a codeless technique or semi-codeless technique that can acquire phase measurement information of L2 signal without information about W code should be employed. In this regard, this paper implements L2 signal processing technology where two typical codeless techniques and four typical semi-codeless techniques of previous studies are applied and compares their performances to discuss the optimal technique selection according to implementation environments and constraints.

In order to enhance receive sensitivity in noisy environment, the previous initial synchronization method of GPS receiver for reference stations adopts not only the coherent integration method but also the non-coherent integration method. However, the previous GPS initial synchronization method causes the non-coherent integration loss, which is a dominant factor among the signal acquisition losses in noisy environment. And the non-coherent integration loss increases with the strength of noise signal. In this pa-per, a GPS initial synchronization method is proposed to enhance receive sensitivity of GPS receiver for reference stations in noisy environment. This paper presents that the proposed GPS initial synchronization method suppresses the non-coherent integration loss. Furthermore, with regard to the mean acquisition time, it is shown that the number of the search cells of the proposed GPS initial synchronization method is much fewer than that of the previous GPS initial synchronization method.

The GPS receiver developed by KARI for the satellite launch vehicle should operate under severe dynamic environments such as high acceleration and jerk. Several terrestrial tests including the outdoor centrifuge test are planed in order to verify performances of the GPS receiver before flight. This paper deals with preliminary test results of the GPS receiver using a GPS signal generator before the centrifuge test that is a performance test of the GPS receiver using live GPS satellite signals. Test methods of the GPS receiver for the satellite launch vehicle under high centripetal acceleration and jerk utilizing a GPS signal generator are described. The simulation results are also analyzed in this paper.

기존 DGPS 기준국용 GPS 수신기의 초기동기 방법은 잡음환경에 대한 강건성 향상을 위해 동기 누적 기법과 비동기 누적 기법을 함께 이용하고 있다. 그러나, 기존 DGP통 기준국용 GPS 초기동기 방법은 잡음환경에서 발생하는 신호획득 손실 중에서 우세한 성분인 비동기 누적 손실이 발생할 뿐만 아니라 잡음세기가 커질수록 비동기 누적 손실도 커지는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 잡음환경에 강인한 DGPS 기준국을 위해 기존 GPS 초기동기의 비동기 누적 손실 문제를 해결한 새로운 GPS 초기동기 방법을 제안하고, 제안하는 GPS 초기동기 방법이 비동기 누적 손실을 억제하는 효과가 있음을 보인다. 그리고, 평균 초기동기 획득시간 측면에서 제안하는 GPS 초기동기 방법이 기존 GPS 초기동기 방법이 검색해야 할 셀의 개수 보다 더 적은 셀을 검색하는 이점이 있음을 보인다. 마지막으로 GPS 시뮬레이터를 이용한 모의실험을 통해 제안하는 GPS 초기동기 방법이 잡음세기가 증가한 환경에서 높은 신호대 잡음비로 GPS 신호를 획득할 수 있음을 확인한다.

This paper presents a framework for GPS/INS/Vision based navigation system of helicopters. GPS/INS coupled algorithm has weak points such as GPS blockage and jamming, while the helicopter is a speedy and high dynamical vehicle amenable to lose the GPS signal. In case of the vision sensor, it is not affected by signal jamming and also navigation error is not accumulated. So, we have implemented an GPS/INS/Vision aided navigation system providing the robust localization suitable for helicopters operating in various environments. The core algorithm is the vision based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technique. For the verification of the SLAM algorithm, we performed flight tests. From the tests, we confirm the developed system is robust enough under the GPS blockage. The system design, software algorithm, and flight test results are described.

In this paper, a GPS/GF-INS integrated navigation system is proposed, in which the high rate attitude aiding signal, the high rate position and velocity aiding of GPS receiver is used for the cube structure of the GF-IMU, effectiveness of the proposed GPS/GF-INS integrated navigation system was shown when the vehicle follows two trajectories, circling and spiraling. Performance evaluation results show that the proposed GPS/GF-INS integrated navigation method gives better navigation outputs when the attitude output of GPS is used and more better navigation outputs are obtained when the rate of GPS aiding signal is higher.

Since the accuracy of Global Positioning System (GPS)-based vehicle positioning system is significantly degraded or does not work appropriately in the urban canyon, the integration techniques of GPS with Inertial Navigation System (INS) have intensively been developed to improve the continuity and reliability of positioning. However, its accuracy is degraded as INS errors are not properly corrected due to the GPS signal blockage. Recently, the image-based positioning techniques have been started to apply for the vehicle positioning for the advanced in processing techniques as well as the increased the number of cars installing the camera. In this study, Single Photo Resection (SPR), which calculates the camera exterior orientation parameters using the Ground Control Points (GCPs,) has been integrated with the INS/GPS for continuous and stable positioning. The INS/GPS/SPR integration was implemented in both of a loosely and a tightly coupled modes, based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). In order to analyze the performance of INS/SPR integration during the GPS outage, the simulation tests were conducted with a consideration of factors affecting SPR performance. The results demonstrate that the accuracy of INS/SPR integration is depended on magnitudes of the GCP errors and SPR processing intervals. Additionally, the simulation results suggest some required conditions to achieve accurate and continuous positioning, used the INS/SPR integration.

A 2-dimensional search process in the time and frequency domain is required to acquire the GPS signal, when the code phase and the carrier Doppler for the specified GPS satellite signal are unknown. This paper proposes a new scheme, called Squared-D Searching Method, which can reduce the number of carrier frequency candidates, and a new scheme, named extended Multiple Correlator(XMC), which can reduce the number of code phase candidates. The Squared-D Searching Method can take the twice of Doppler frequency, therefore it can find carrier frequency candidates. The XMC is different from the general multiple correlator in that a combined form of the locally generated codes is used for despreading. Also, this paper tries to analyze a signal detection probability of a GPS receiver under more realistic environments. The result shows that lower detection probability can be obtained when the phase differences among the codes are larger in the correlation arms of a multiple correlator. This phenomenon is not easy to explain with the previous results. And besides, the result shows that proposed acquisition schemes give better performance than a conventional acquisition scheme.

이 논문에서 지상파 DMB (T-DMB)의 데이터 서비스를 이용한 새로운 assisted GPS (A-GPS) 시스템을 제안한다. GPS 위성에서 전달되는 약한 신호와 신호 차단 때문에 델리매틱 단말기는 도심 환경에서 위치 결정에 어려움을 가지고 있다. 제안된 A-GPS 시스템은 GPS 위성으로부터 수신된 신호로부터 가상 거리를 계산하고 T-DMB 방송국으로부터 위성 정보 (ephemeris)를 수신하여 단말기의 위치를 결정하게 된다. GPS 시스템과 비교하여 제안된 시스템은 빠른 TTFF (time to first fix), 낮은 HDOP (horizontal dilution of position) 등의 향상된 성능을 보여준다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 시스템은 A-GPS 시스템으로서 구현 가능하고 강력한 방법이라는 사실을 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 위성 항법 시스템(GPS)의 불연속성과 수신 음영 지역에서의 속도 추적 한계를 극복하기 위하여 가속도계와 GPS를 이용한 이동 물체의 속도를 추정하는 시스템을 제안한다. 시스템은 이동 물체에 부착된 GPS 수신기와 가속도계의 항법 정보를 입력받아 물체의 진동과 충격 그리고 가속도계 자체의 오차에 기인한 잡음을 보정하고, 이를 이용하여 GPS 음영 지역에서 이동 물체의 속도 추정과 GPS 항법 정보의 불연속성을 보완할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 본 시스템에 사용하기 위해 GPS와 가속도계를 이용한 칼만 필터 구조를 설계하고, GPS 수신 음영 지역에서도 물체의 속도를 추적할 수 있음을 검증하여, 향후 자동항법장치 등 텔레매틱스 산업에서의 응용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.
