Since the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal received from the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite is only affected by the upper ionosphere, the magnitude of the ionospheric delay of Global Positioning System (GPS) signal received from ground user is different. Therefore, the ground-based two-dimensional ionospheric model cannot be applied to LEO satellites. The NeQuick model used in Galileo provides the ionospheric delay according to the user's altitude, so it can be used in the ionospheric model of the LEO satellites. However, the NeQuick model is not suitable for space receivers because of the high computational cost. A simplified NeQuick model with reduced computing time was recently presented. In this study, the computing time of the NeQuick model and the simplified NeQuick model was analyzed based on the GPS Klobuchar model. The NeQuick and simplified NeQuick model were applied to the GNSS data from GRACE-B, Swarm-C, and GOCE satellites to analyze the performance of the ionospheric correction and positioning. The difference in computing time between the NeQuick and simplified NeQuick model was up to 90%, but the difference in ionospheric accuracy was not as large as within 4.5%.

Satellite navigation systems, with the exception of the GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS), adopt ionosphere models and provide ionospheric coefficients to single-frequency users via navigation messages to correct ionospheric delay, the main source of positioning errors. A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) mostly has its own ionospheric models: the Klobuchar model for Global Positioning System (GPS), the NeQuick-G model for Galileo, and the BeiDou Global Ionospheric delay correction Model (BDGIM) for BeiDou satellite navigation System (BDS)-3. On the other hand, a Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS) such as the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) and BDS-2 uses the Klobuchar Model rather than developing a new model. QZSS provides its own coefficients that are customized for its service area while BDS-2 slightly modifies the Klobuchar model to improve accuracy in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, BDS broadcasts multiple ionospheric parameters depending on the satellites, unlike other systems. In this paper, we analyzed the different ionospheric models of GPS, QZSS, and BDS in Korea. The ionospheric models of QZSS and BDS-2, which are based in Asia, reduced error by at least 25.6% compared to GPS. However, QZSS was less accurate than GPS during geomagnetic storms or at low latitude. The accuracy of the models according to the BDS satellite orbit was also analyzed. The BDS-2 ionospheric model showed an error reduction of more than 5.9% when using GEO coefficients, while in BDS-3, the difference between satellites was within 0.01 m.

반송파 기반 위성항법 보강시스템은 GNSS(global navigation satellite system) 측정치 오차를 보상하는 방식에 따라 OSR(observation space representation)과 SSR(state space representation)으로 구분된다. 대표적인 OSR 기반 보강시스템인 N-RTK(network real time kinematics)는 약 100 km 수준의 서비스 영역 내에서 cm급 측위 정확도를 확보할 수 있는 시스템이지만, 일반적으로 사용자-인프라 간 양방향 통신 방식에 의해 서비스가 구현된다. 이러한 특징으로 인해 N-RTK를 활용한 위성 기반 cm급 전국토 정밀 측위 서비스 구축은 현실적으로 많은 제약이 따른다. 반면, SSR 보강시스템은 서비스 영역 내 모든 사용자에게 동일한 보정정보를 제공하기 때문에 단방향 서비스에 적합하고, 각 보정정보의 전송주기를 유동적으로 조절할 수 있으므로 위성 기반 광역 정밀 보정정보 방송 서비스에 적합하다. 이러한 장점으로 인해 위성항법시스템을 보유한 각국은 SSR 보정정보 기반의 PPP(precise point positioning)/PPP-RTK 정밀 측위 서비스 구축에 박차를 가하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 위성 기반 SSR 보정정보 방송 서비스들의 구성 및 특징, 측위 성능 분석을 통해 PPP/PPP-RTK 서비스 동향과 정밀 측위 현황을 파악하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 GPS 항법 신호와 유럽에서 새롭게 추진되고 있는 갈릴레오 위성 항법 신호를 동시에 수신할 수 있는 광대역 고정밀 위성 항법 수신기의 RF 수신단 장치 설계 및 제작 결과에 대하여 기술하고 있다. 고정밀 광대역 위성 항법 수신기는 L - 대역 안테나, 항법 신호별 RF/IF 변환부, 그리고 고성능 기저대역 신호 처리부로 구성되어진다. L - 대역 안테나는 $1.1GHz{\sim}1.6\;GHz$를 수신할 수 있어야 하며, 항법 위성이 지평선 가까이에 있을 경우의 항법 신호를 수신할 수 있어야 한다. 갈릴레오 위성 항법 신호는 L1, E5, E6의 서로 다른 대역의 신호를 가지고 있으며, 신호 대역폭이 20MHz 이상으로 기존의 GPS위성 항법 신호보다 광대역이며, 따라서 수신기의 IF 주파수가 높아지며, 수신기의 처리 속도도 빨라져야 한다. 본 연구에서 개발한 수신기의 RF/IF 변환부는 단일 하향 변환기 구조의 디지털 IF 기술로 설계되었으며, IF 주파수는 위성 항법 신호의 최대 대역폭과 표본화 주파수 등을 고려하여 140MHz로 설정하였으며, 표본화 주파수는 112MHz로 설정하였다. RF/IF 변환부의 최종 출력은 디지털 IF 신호로서, IF 신호를 AD 변환기로 처리하여 얻게 된다. 본 연구에서 설계된 위성 항법용 고정밀 수신기 RF 수신단은 - 130 dBm의 입력 신호에 대하여 40dB Hz 이상의 C/N0 특성을 가지며, 40dB 이상의 동적 범위를 갖도록 자동 이득조절 장치가 포함되어 있다.

GNSS has been evolving dramatically in recent years. There are currently 6 GNSS (4 GNSS, AND 2 RNSS) constellations, which are GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), BeiDou (China), Galileo (EU), QZSS (Japan), and IRNSS (India). The Number of navigation satellites is expected to be over 150 by 2020. As the number of both constellations and satellites used for the improvement of positioning performance, high accuracy, and robustness of precise positioning is more promising. However, a large amount of the correction messages is required to support the augmentation system for the available satellites of all the constellations. Since bandwidth for the correction messages is generally limited, sending or scheduling the correction messages might be a critical issue in the near future. In this study, we analyze the relationship between the size of the bandwidth and Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) performance. Multiple Signal Messages (MSM), the only Radio Technical Commission for Maritimes (RTCM) message that supports multi-constellation GNSS, has been used for this assessment. Instead of the conventional method that broadcasts all the messages at the same time, we assign the MSM broadcasting interval for each constellation in 5 seconds. An open sky static and dynamic test for this study was conducted on the roof of Sejong University. Our results show that the RTK fixed position accuracy is not affected by the 5-second interval corrections, but the ambiguity fixing rate is degraded for poor DOP cases when RTK correction are transmitted intermittently.

In recent years, significant improvements have been made to the techniques used for analyzing satellite communication and attacking satellite systems. In 2003, a research team at Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA, demonstrated the ease with which civilian global positioning system (GPS) spoofing attacks can be implemented. They fed fake signals to the GPS receiver so that it operates as though it were located at a position different from its actual location. Moreover, Galileo in-orbit validation element A and Compass-M1 civilian codes in all available frequency bands were decoded in 2007 and 2009. These events indicate that cryptography should be used in addition to the coding technique for secure and authenticated satellite communication. In this study, we address this issue by using an authenticated key-exchange protocol to build a secure and authenticated communication channel for satellite communication. Our protocol uses identity-based cryptography. We also prove the security of our protocol in the extended Canetti-Krawczyk model, which is the strongest security model for authenticated key-exchange protocols, under the random oracle assumption and computational Diffie-Hellman assumption. In addition, our protocol helps achieve high efficiency in both communication and computation and thus improve security in satellite communication.

Modernized GNSS such as new GPS signals updated GLONASS and coming Galileo promises higher quality and higher reliability for users. Powerful technologies such as Internet, ubiquitous network technology and sensor network has been used to promote a safe and more secure lifestyle. This report describes experimental trials to combine these technologies namely GPS and Sensor Network into a high-performance system. GPS is used to enlarge the communication range, resolving the service area limitations, as a wider service area is required at shore areas compared to urban area. GPS position datum is also used as primary network routing information to get practical Sensor Network. Another application is the under water Sensor Network. Accurate GPS position and time are used to establish stable and high reliability underwater acoustic Sensor Network. This paper describes the background of the project 'Harbor area Marine Ubiquitous Sensor Network', preliminary consideration and testing. Radio and acoustic communication is the main focus of this preliminary experiment.

We have processed the GPS data using several high quality GPS data processing softwares for last decade. Bernes and GIPSY II are some of them. Though these programs have different characteristics in terms of structures and processing philosophies, high quality results from these are still comparable. KASI Space Geodesy Research Division has developed several GNSS data processing softwares like the quasi real-time ionospheric parameter estimator, orbit propagator and estimator, and precision positioning estimator. However, we are currently in needs of our own comprehensive GNSS data processing software with the European Galileo system on the horizon. KASI team has worked on a preliminary pilot project for the software and is making block pieces for the software. The roadmap, the description, and brief results of KASIOPEA (KASI Orbit Propagator and EstimAtor) are presented in this paper.
