KRS which is subsystem of Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) performs a role of collecting and monitoring GPS signals. In order to generate the accurate correction message, the site which meets the requirements should be selected and verification to meet each requirement should be accompanied. When the sites are selected, the environmental considerations are EMI, clear horizon (CH) and multipath. Of these, EMI and CH can be checked for satisfaction by instrumentation, but multipath error is difficult to predict. Therefore, multipath error analysis for the installation position of actual antenna at each KRS site should be preceded, and multipath scenario should be generated for each location to analyze the effects of the resulting system performance. In this paper, based on satellite signals collected from each KRS sites, the method for analyzing multipath error in each KRS sites is described, and the multipath error is analyzed. Also to perform an analysis of the effects on system performance due to multipath error, multipath error modeling is performed for the generation of simulation scenarios.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes receive signal to make error floor. In this paper, we propose the underwater communication system using various channel coding schemes such as RS coding, convolutional code, turbo code and concatenated code for overcoming the multipath effect in underwater channel. As shown in simulation results, characteristic of multipath error is similar to that of random error. So interleaver has not effect on error correcting. For correcting of error floor by multipath, it is necessary to use strong channel codes like turbo code. Turbo code is one of the iterative codes. And the performance of concatenated codes including RS code has better performance than using singular channel codes.

One of the most significant errors in the pseudo-range measurement performance of GNSSes (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) is their multipath error for high-precision applications. Several schemes to mitigate this error have been studied. Most of them, however, have been focused on the GPS (Global Positioning System) L1 C/A (Coarse/Acquisition) signal that was designed in the 1970s and is still being used for civil navigation. Recently, several modernized signals that were especially conceived to more significantly mitigate multipath errors have been introduced, such as Time Multiplexed and Composite Binary Offset Carrier (TMBOC and CBOC, respectively) signals. Despite this advantage, however, a problem remains with the use of TMBOC and CBOC modulations: the ambiguity of BOC (Binary Offset Carrier)-modulated signal tracking. In this paper, a novel unambiguous multipath error mitigation scheme for these modernized signals is proposed. The proposed scheme has the same complexity as HRCs (High Resolution Correlators) but with low ambiguity. The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme outperformed or performed at par with the HRC in terms of their multipath error envelopes and running averages in the static and statistical channel models. The ranging error derived by the mean multipath error of the proposed scheme was below 1.8 meters in an urban area in the statistical channel model.

Multipath is an inevitable error source in radio navigation system such as GPS, it causes signal tracking errors such as carrier tracking errors, code tracking errors. Since code tracking error is a dominant error in absolute positioning, this paper focuses on the improvement of code tracking performance. This paper proposes a method that detects the change of autocorrelation function's slope and mitigates the multipath error. Also, this paper shows the performance evaluation results by post-processing the digitized RF samples.

In the case of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a GNSS sensor, a boundary line where the vehicle can actually exist can be calculated using a navigation error model, and safe navigation (e.g., precise landing and collision prevention) can be supported based on this boundary line. Therefore, for the safe operation of UAV, a model for the position error of UAV needs to be established in advance. In this study, the multipath error of a GNSS sensor installed at UAV was modeled through a flight test, and this was analyzed and compared with the error model of an existing manned aircraft. The flight test was conducted based on a scenario in which UAV performs hovering at an altitude of 40 m, and it was found that the multipath error value was well bound by the error model of an existing manned aircraft. This result indicates that the error model of an existing manned aircraft can be used in operation environments similar to the scenario for the flight test. Also, in this study, a scenario for the operation of multiple UAVs was considered, and the correlation between the multipath errors of the UAVs was analyzed. The result of the analysis showed that the correlation between the multipath errors of the UAVs was not large, indicating that the multipath errors of the UAVs cannot be canceled out.

본 논문은 레이다로 다중경로 상황에서 고각 추정을 할 때 고각 추정 오차가 커지는 문제를 극복하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 다중경로 상황 이란, 동일한 표적에서 반사된 레이다의 수신신호가 여러경로에서 오는 것을 의미한다. 다중경로 상황이 아닐 때는 모노펄스 방식이 정확하고, 그 반대 상황이면 최소 제곱 오차 추정 방식이 정확하다. 다중경로 상황이면서 고각이 매우 낮을 경우, 최소 제곱 오차 추정이 발산하는 특이 경우가 발생한다. 이 특이경우를 전파 인자 기반으로 판별하여, 모노펄스와 최소 제곱 오차 추정 방식을 선택적으로 운용했다. 그 결과, 고각 추정의 정확도를 높이는 데 성공했다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 검증하기 위하여 매트랩 시뮬레이션을 수행했다.

While the chirp signal is extensively used in radar and sonar systems for target decision in wireless communication systems, it has not been widely used for positioning in indoor environments. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4a standard has adopted the chirp spread spectrum (CSS) as an underlying technique for low-power and low-complexity precise localization. Chirp signal based ranging solutions have been established and deployed but their ranging performance has not been analyzed in multipath environments. This paper presents a ranging performance analysis of a chirp signal and suggests a method to suppress multipath error by using a type of non-linear chirp signal. Multipath ranging performance is evaluated using a conventional linear chirp signal and the proposed non-linear chirp signal. We verify the feasibility of both methods using two-ray multipath model simulation. Our results demonstrate that the proposed non-linear chirp signal can successfully suppress the multipath error.

This paper shows that the OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) system is robust to multipath than CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) system and it has a strong possibility to be utilized as a supplementing wireless location system for the forthcoming portable internet network. The OFDM system based on IEEE 802.16e is a wireless TDD (Time Division Duplex) OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) system providing portable internet services in 2.3 GHz frequency band and is scheduled in service in Korea starting in 2006. In this paper, multipath error is calculated using a two-ray model and compared with that of a CDMA system which is following IS-95. The OFDM system shows a maximum multipath error of 3 m while a CDMA system shows a maximum multipath error of 61 m. For this simulation, an early-late technique is used. This technique is usually used to match synchronization of signal in DLL(Delay Lock Loop).

본 논문에서는 GPS/INS 강결합 시스템에서 다중경로 오차에 대한 EKF와 total-state UKF 두 가지 필터의 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 도심 빌딩숲에서 많이 발생하는 다중경로 오차가 없는 경우와 있는 경우에 대하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 위성이 3개만 보이는 경우에 두 필터의 추정 성능을 비교하였다. 다중경로 오차가 없을 경우보다 있는 경우에 total-state UKF가 EKF에 비하여 더 좋은 추정 성능을 보여서 total-state UKF의 성능이 더 강인함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 다경로 페이딩 채널에서 DA/SSMA 시스템의 오율특성을 컴퓨터시뮬레이션을 통하여 성능분석을 하였다. 먼저 다경로 페이딩 채널을 모델링 하였으며, 채널의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 도플러 주파수와 신호의 대역폭, 시간지연 등을 변화시키면서 그때의 주파수 응답특성과 여러 형태에 대하여 살펴보았다. 그리고 모델링한 태널을 블럭코드와 콤볼루션코드로 성능을 비교하였으며 DS/SSMA 시스템에 적용하여 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과를 보면 상관기를 사용하지 않은 코딩 시스템의 수신기[5]보다 1~3[dB] 향상됨을 나타내었다.
