The recent emergence of new Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) has resulted in a gradual improvement in the performance of positioning services. This paper verifies the degree of improvement in positioning performance of Assisted-GNSS (A-GNSS) receivers using assistance information compared to standalone-GNSS receivers that do not use assistance information in various urban environments in Korea. For this purpose, field tests are performed in various urban and indoor environments in Korea. The assistance information is provided by u-blox's AssistNow Online and low-cost commercial receivers are used for mobile station receivers. Through experiments, the Time to First Fix (TTFF), acquisition sensitivity, and position accuracy performance improvement are analyzed. The results of the experiments show that using assistance data improved the performance in all experiment locations, and, in particular, a significant performance improvement in terms of TTFF.

The need for precise location data is growing across numerous markets, and so is the number of affordable high-precision GPS receivers. In this paper, we validated the performance of RTAP2U, a low-cost high-precision RTK receiver that was recently released. Two positioning modes were tested: static and driving. The static test conducted Zero-Baseline Single-RTK and Network-RTK survey for 57 hours and 51 hours, respectively. For the driving test, Network-RTK survey was conducted using VRS services provided by NGII based on Trimble PIVOT and Geo++ GNSMART. The static test showed about 1 cm horizontal and vertical accuracies, which is very stable considering the test duration longer than 50 hours. The integer ambiguity FIX rate marked a solid 100%. The driving test result also reached a 100% FIX rate. Horizontal and vertical accuracies were better than 2 cm and 3 cm, respectively. Researchers can refer to this paper when considering affordable high-precision GPS receivers as an option.

In this paper, a high precision outdoor positioning system is newly proposed using multiple GPS receivers based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). Typically, the GPS signal has the instantaneous errors that degrade the positioning seriously. Using the multiple GPS receivers instead of an expensive DGPS receiver, the positioning reliability and accuracy are improved in this research as a low cost solution. To incorporate the small displacement, an INS data have been tightly coupled to the GPS data, which has the inherit disadvantage of the cumulative error occurring over time. To achieve a stabilized and accurate positioning system, the multiple GPS receiver data are fused with the INS data through the EKF process. Through real navigation experiments of an outdoor mobile robot, the performance of the proposed system has been verified to be accurate comparable to DGPS system with a lower cost.

A portable equipment that measures a current and voltage waveform of power transmission lines is pro-posed. In the equipment, the current and voltage, respectively, are detected by a loop coil and a capacitor clamped around the power lines. The detected data is transmitted by an FM wave to the receiver on the ground station. Since the receiver is isolated from the power lines, we do not require high potential insulators for the measurement of current and voltage. The proposed equipment is therefore, small-sized, light, and low in the cost of production. Experimental results presented here show that the equipment can monitor the current flowing in single wire over a ground plane and the potential of the wire.

Nowadays, the need of multi-mode/multi-band transceiver is rapidly increasing, so we design a direct conversion RF front-end for multi-mode/multi-band receiver that support WCDMA/CDMA2000/WIBRO standard. It consists of variable gain reconfigurable LNA and single input double balanced Mixer and complementary differential LC Oscillator. The circuit is implemented in 0.18 um RF CMOS technology and is suitable for low-cost mode/multi-band.

A design of CPS attitude determination system is described in this paper. The designed system is a low cost high precision 24 channel single frequency GPS(Global Positioning System) receiver which provides a precise absolute heading and pitch (or roll) as well as a position. It uses commercial chip-set and consists of two RF parts, two signal-tracking parts, a processor, memory parts and I/Os. In order to determine precise attitude, accurate carrier phase measurements and an efficient integer ambiguity resolution method are required. To meet these requirements, a PLL (Phase Locked Loops) is designed, and an algorithm called ARCE (Ambiguity Resolution with Constraint Equation) is adopted. The hardware and software structure of the system will be described, and the performance evaluated under various conditions will be presented. The test results will promise that more reliable navigation system be possible because the system provides all navigational information such as position, velocity, time and attitude.

2.4 GHz 대역 완전차동 직접변환 수신기를 위한 저전력, 저잡음, 고선형성을 가지는 새로운 구조의 하이브리드 발룬(Hybrid Balun) 회로를 제안한다. 제안된 하이브리드 발룬은 수동형 트랜스포머(Passive Transformer)와 손실 보상용 보조 증폭기(Loss-compensating Auxiliary Amplifiers)로 구성된다. 트랜스포머와 보상용 증폭기 사이의 신호의 분리와 결합에 대한 설계 이슈들을 제시하였다. $0.18{\mu}m$ 공정으로 제작된 하이브리드 발룬은 수동형 발룬에 비해 2.4 GHz 대역에서 이득은 2.8 dB 높고 잡음지수는 1.9 dB 낮으며, 측정된 IIP3는 +23 dBm 이다. 전체 전력소모는 1.2 V 전원 전압에서 0.67 mA로서 저전력으로 구현되었다. 하이브리드 발룬 기술을 적용하여 설계된 무선센서노드용 CMOS 직접변환 수신기는 수동형 발룬을 사용했을 때 비해 0.82 mW의 추가 전력소모만으로 전체 잡음 지수를 현저히 낮출 수 있음을 확인하였다.

최근 SA(Selective Availability)의 해제에 따른 GPS의 활용이 증대되면서 차량운행에 있어서도 저가 GPS 수신기의 활용이 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 일반 차량 운행자를 위한 상용화가 급속도로 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 저가 GPS수신기를 통한 실시간 위치정보의 제공은 실질적으로 상당한 오차를 포함하고 있다. 이는 저가 수신기가 가지고 있는 문제라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저가 수신기와 정밀 측위용 이주파 수신기를 이용하여 측지분야에서 검증된 GPS측량방법을 통해 오차를 비교ㆍ분석하고 저가 수신기의 정확도 향상을 위한 방법을 제시하고자 하였다.

본 논문은 GPS 수신기를 이용한 정밀 동기 클록 발생기의 PLD 구현에 관한 것이다. GPS 수신기에서는 동기화 된 IPPS 신호를 발생하는데, 이를 이용하여 시각동기와 클록 보정 등을 행할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 저가격의 오실레이터로부터 높은 정확도의 클록을 발생시킬 수 있는 DPLL 구조의 정밀 동기 클록 발생기를 ALTERA FLEX EPM6016TC144-3 PLD를 이용하여 구현하였다. 이를 이용하여 GPS 수신기를 함께 이용하여 높은 정밀도를 가지며 동기화 된 1MHz 클록을 발생시키는 하드웨어를 설계하고 구현한다.
