Satellite and receiver Inter-Frequency Biases (IFBs) should be estimated or calibrated by pre-defined values for generating precise navigation messages and augmentation data in satellite navigation systems or the augmentation system. In this paper, a Kalman filter is designed and implemented to estimate the ionospheric delay and satellite/receiver IFBs using a regional receiver network. First, an ionospheric model and its filter parameter is defined based on previous studies. Second, a measurement model for estimating the relative satellite/receiver IFBs without any constraints is proposed. Third, a procedure for ensuring the continuity of estimation is proposed in this paper. To verify the performance of the designed filter, six Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORSs) are selected. Finally, the stability and accuracy of satellite/receiver IFB estimation are analyzed.

Knowledge of the ionospheric peak parameter foF2 (the critical frequency of F2 layer) is one of key essential factors for predicting ionospheric characteristics and delay correction of satellite positioning. However, the foF2 was almost estimated using an empirical model of International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) or other expensive observing techniques, such as ionosondes and scatter radar. In this paper, the ionospheric peak parameter foF2 is the first observed by ground-based GPS with all weather, low-cost and near real time properties. Compared with the IRI-2001 and independent ionosondes at or near the GPS receiver stations, the foF2 obtained from ground-based GPS is in better agreement, but closer to the ionosonde. However, during nighttime, the IRI model overestimated the GPS observed values during winter and equinox months.Furthermore, seasonal variation trend of the foF2 in 2003 is studied using foF2 monthly median hourly data measured over South Korea. It has shown that the systematic diurnal changes of foF2 are apparent in each season and the higher values of foF2 are observed during the equinoxes (semiannual anomaly) as well as in mid-daytime of each season.

In general DGPS system, the correction message is transferred to users by wireless modem. To cover wide area, many DGPS station should be needed. And DGPS users must have a wireless modem that is not necessary in standalone GPS. But SBAS users don't need a wireless modem to receive DGPS corrections because SBAS correction message is transmitted from the GEO satellite by L1 frequency band. SBAS signal is generated in the GUS(Geo Uplink Subsystem) and uplink to the GEO satellite. This uplink transmission process causes two problems that are not existed in GPS. The one is a time delay in the uplink signal. The other is an ionospheric problem on uplink signal, code delay and carrier phase advance. These two problems cause ranging error to user. Another critical ranging error factor is clock synchronization. SBAS reference clock must be synchronized with GPS clock for an accurate ranging service. The time delay can be removed by close loop control. We propose uplink ionospheric error correcting algorithm for C/A code and carrier. As a result, the ranging accuracy increased high. To synchronize SBAS reference clock with GPS clock, I reviewed synchronization algorithm. And I modified it because the algorithm didn't consider doppler that caused by satellites' dynamics. SBAS reference clock synchronized with GPS clock in high accuracy by modified algorithm. We think that this paper will contribute to basic research for constructing satellite based DGPS system.

Errors included in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements degrade the performance of user position estimation but can be mitigated by spatial correlation properties. Augmentation systems providing correction data can be broadly categorized into State Space Representation (SSR) and Observation Space Representation (OSR) methods. The satellite-based cm-level augmentation service based on the SSR broadcasts correction data via satellite signals, unlike the traditional Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Network RTK methods, which use OSR. To provide a large amount of correction data via the limited bandwidth of the satellite communication, efficient message structure design considering service area, correction generation, and broadcast intervals is necessary. For systematic message design, it is necessary to analyze the influence of error components included in GNSS measurements. In this study, errors in satellite orbits, satellite clocks for GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS satellite constellations ionospheric and tropospheric delays over one year were analyzed, and their spatial decorrelations and linear modeling characteristics were examined.

As GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) is used in various filed, many countries establish GNSS system independently. But GNSS system has the limitation of accuracy and stability in stand-alone mode, because this system has error elements which are ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, orbit ephemeris error, satellite clock error, and etc. For overcome of accuracy limitation, the DGPS(Differential GPS) and RTK(Real-Time Kinematic) systems are proposed. These systems perform relative positioning using the reference and user receivers. ETRI(Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) is developing precision navigation system in point of extension of GNSS usage. The precision navigation system is for providing the precision navigation solution to common users. If this technology is developed, GNSS system can be used in the fields which require precision positioning and control. In this paper, we introduce the precision navigation system and perform design and algorithm verification.

한 지점의 위치에 대한 정확도는 위성의 위치와 몇 가지 요인으로 인하여 발생하는 신호의 지연 등에 주로 의존하게 된다. 이러한 지연의 효과가 3차원 위치 오차에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 GPS 오차를 포함하는 GPS 관측 파일(RINEX)을 시뮬레이션 하고, 시뮬레이션된 관측 파일을 기선 처리하여 그 효과를 분석하였다. Bernese ver5.0을 이용하여 전리층 지연, 대류권 모델, DOP, 랜덤 오차 등 과 같은 GPS 오차를 시뮬레이션에 적용하였다. 실험결과 기선이 짧다면 무전리층 조합으로 인하여 전리층 지연 효과를 제거할 수 있기 때문에 TEC에 의한 위치오차는 그리 크지는 않았다. 그러나 기선이 길어진다면 3차원 위치오차는 최대 10cm까지 나타났다. 싸이클 슬립은 싸이클 슬립이 증가함에 따라 점차적으로3차원 위치오차가 변화되기 보다는 싸이클 슬립이 60%를 넘었을 때 좌표에 미치는 영향이 커짐을 알 수 있다. 이는 시뮬레이션된 싸이클 슬립이 위성에 골고루 분배되었기 때문에 싸이클 슬립에 의한 영향은 크지 않았으나 60%를 넘을 경우 그 오차는 급격히 증가하였다. 또한 DOP이 3보다 작은 경우, 2시간 선별하여 계산된 3차원 위치오차는 $3{\sim}4cm$ 정도 향상되었다.

최근, Multi-GNSS 위성시스템 인프라 환경의 안정화와 이종 위성 조합 활용에 대한 효용성이 입증되면서 측위, 항법 및 시간 정보 관련 응용 등 다양한 산업 분야에서 실시간 Multi-GNSS 조합 활용의 분위기가 높아지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 가장 수요층이 많은 저가형 1주파 GNSS 위성 수신기 사용자를 대상으로 정적 및 동적 환경에서 4가지 Multi-GNSS 측량기법에 RTCM-SSR 보정류(streams)를 적용, Multi- GNSS 위성의 1주파 실시간 단독측위(SF-RT-PP)의 효용성을 평가하고 대응 과제를 도출하는 것이다. SSR 보정류를 4가지 Multi-GNSS 측위 기법에 연계하여 정적 및 동적 시험장에 적용한 결과, CNES의 SSRa00CNE0 서비스가 2차원 좌표성분에서 다른 SSR 보정류에 비해 양호한 결과를 제시하였다. Multi-GNSS 위성의 Carrier를 활용한 SF-RT-PP 측위 결과, 공통적으로 고도성분에서 큰 편차가 발생되었는데 이에 대한 원인 규명 및 SF-RT-PPP 측위에서 비차감 비조합 전리층 지연보정과 이종 위성조합에 따른 신호 Bias 보정의 중요성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, Multi-GNSS 위성의 인프라 환경 향상으로 4종의 GNSS 위성 중, 1종 위성만으로도 SF-SPP 측위가 가능함을 확인하였다. 특히, GPS 위성의 1주파 신호만을 활용한 RT-SPP 측위에서 Code 기반 SF-RT-SPP 측위의 경우, 위성궤도/시계 보정관련 보통력과 SSR 보정 간 효과는 미소한 반면, 전리층 보정의 경우는 Klobuchar 모델에 비해 SBAS 보정 정보를 활용한 경우가 높이에서 약 2배 이상의 정확도 향상 효과를 공통적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 향후, 2020년말 Galileo 및 BDS 위성 인프라가 완성되면서 Multi-GNSS 위성의 지역 특성이 반영된 실시간 전리층지연 및 기상특성을 반영한 SSR 조정 서비스가 진행될 경우, SF-RT-PPP 활용성 및 여러 산업부문의 다양한 수요 창출이 기대된다.

The positioning accuracy of the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been improved considerably during the past two decades. The main error sources such as ionospheric refraction, orbital uncertainty, antenna phase center variation, signal multipath, and tropospheric delay have been reduced substantially, if not eliminated. In this study, the GPS data collected by the GPS receivers that were established as continuously operating reference stations by International GNSS Service (IGS), Ministry of the Interior (MOl), Central Weather Bureau (CWB), and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) Of Taiwan are utilized to investigate the impact of atmospheric water vapor on GPS positioning determination. The surface meteorological measurements that were concurrently acquired by instruments co-located with the GPS receivers include temperature, pressure and humidity data. To obtain the influence of the GPS height on the proposed impact study. A hydrodynamic ocean tide model (GOTOO.2 model) and solid earth tide were used to improve the GPS height. The surface meteorological data (pressure, temperature and humidity) were introduced to the data processing with 24 troposphere parameters. The results from the studies associated with different GPS height were compared for the cases with and without a priori knowledge of surface meteorological measurements. The finding based on the measurements in 2003 is that the surface meteorological measurements have an impact on the GPS height. The associated daily maximum of the differences is 1.07 cm for the KDNM station. The impact is reduced due to smoothing when the average of the GPS height for the whole year is considered.

Recently, a lot of interest focuses on DGPS with which it is possible to obtain 3D geographic information in real time. There are some methods to transmit corrected signals which use ground based systems as beacon, as well as wireless and TV broadcasting media. However, these methods require a large number of stations. Therefore, when the distance from station to user is increased, there is a range limit to the transmission of corrected signals. In order to solve these problems, WADGPS method using Geo-satellite is being investigated. In this study, static and kinematic tests were performed by using Satloc SLX WADGPS and Ashtech receivers. The results showed that SA was affected most among corrected signals of WADGPS; it was followed by ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay and satellite orbit errors. The accuracy of static observation was approx. $\pm$1m on SA-on. This was ten times as accurate as that of absolute observation by common receiver on SA-off. In the SA-off, the accuracy of WADGPS can be improved further. The result of kinematic tests by WADGPS acted in concert with that of standard DGPS by C/A code. It was concluded that the application of W ADGPS could improve considerably navigation and the construction of geographic information.

In this paper, we overview the system development status of the national maritime precise point positioning-real-time kinematic (PPP-RTK) service in Korea, also known as the Precise POsitioning and INTegrity monitoring (POINT) system. The development of the POINT service began in 2020, and the open service is scheduled to start in 2025. The architecture of the POINT system is composed of three provider-side facilities-a reference station, monitoring station, and central control station-and one user-side receiver platform. Here, we propose the detailed functionality of each component considering unidirectional broadcasting of augmentation data. To meet the centimeter-level user positioning accuracy in maritime coverage, new reference stations were installed. Each reference station operates with a dual receiver and dual antenna to reduce the risk of malfunctioning, which can deteriorate the availability of the POINT service. The initial experimental results of a testbed from corrections generated from the testbed network, including newly installed reference stations, are presented. The results show that the horizontal and vertical accuracies satisfy 2.63 cm and 5.77 cm, respectively. For the purpose of (near) real-time broadcasting of POINT correction data, we designed a correction message format including satellite orbit, satellite clock, satellite signal bias, ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, and coordinate transformation parameters. The (near) real-time experimental setup utilizing (near) real-time processing of testbed network data and the designed message format are proposed for future testing and verification of the system.
