According to the recommendation of International Maritime Organization, the Ministry Of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF) of Korea provides the real time Differential Global Positioning System service using maritime radio beacon from 1999. Due to the benefit of DGPS service, the need of this system is increased from various user groups for acquiring the better accuracy and integrity. Therefore, MOMAF has extended their service to inland by installing the additional 6 DGPS stations. This nationwide DGPS service will be fully deployed at 2007. In addition to the extension of service area, MOMAF has a plan to upgrade their nationwide DGPS to High Accuracy Nationwide DGPS (HANDGPS). The planned HANDGPS service of Korea will be a kind of long range RTK or Wide Area RTK techniques to provide under 1m accuracy and start their service from 2009 using the various broadcasting and communication media like as radio beacon, Wibro, Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, High Speed Packet Data Access. The introduction of nationwide DGPS system of Korea and its evolution plan will be addressed in this paper. The research activities related with HANDGPS in Korea is also presented.

The differential global positioning system (DGPS) transmits a GPS enhancement signal using a top-loaded monopole antenna in the medium frequency range. The top-loaded antenna in the medium frequency band can attain a radiation efficiency on the order of 10%. The antenna ground plane characteristics affect the antenna radiation efficiency. To improve the radiation efficiency, it is necessary to install the antenna on a ground plane with large enough physical dimensions and good conductivity. The antenna radiation efficiency is a primary factor in determining the DGPS service area. The service area of the DGPS using a medium frequency band is dominantly affected by the antenna radiation efficiency. To determine antenna radiation efficiencies accurately, the antenna radiation efficiencies of DGPS are deduced from the propagation power in this paper. Based on the deduced antenna radiation efficiencies, the service area for the Korean nationwide-DGPS is analyzed and evaluated.

When the GPS system was come to the operation, the U.S Coast Guard initiated development of differential GPS system based on a marine radiobeacon. It has rapidly been spread out to many countries. DGPS equals to P(Y) code in a positioning accuracy. USA has recently determined to expand the coverage of DGPS to inland in order to install a nationwide DGPS chain. Korea is under processing for improving the DGPS as a nationwide positioning system. Before expanding the service area inside Korea, we need to verify the relation between the field strength and DGPS accuracy for the service area. The Japanese DGPS data is received in the southern Part of the Korean peninsula. The Korean DGPS was not a complete system, so we selected the Japanese DGPS data as a model for the study. This paper investigate accuracy and reliability characteristics of RBN/DGPS over the effective service area. Through the experimental and simulation study, we obtained the reliable and stable positioning accuracy in the southern part of the Korean peninsula. In addition, the characteristics of RBN/DGPS were examined in the land over the effective coverage from Japan. The results would be a basic reference to research the RBN/NDGPS in Korea.

The DGPS is used to improve the accuracy of the GPS by determining the positioning error data known locatio and subsequently transmitting the determined error, or corrective factors, to users of the GPS operating in the same geographical area. The accuracy of the DGPS available to real0time users is published in the Federal Radio-Navigation Plan to be better than 10 meters, although users often experience accuracies of better than 3 meters. USA recently decided to expand the marine DGPS service for land applications and initiated the Nationwide DGPS chain. Korea is processing for improving the marine DGPS. We have not achieved Full Operational Capability. But after announcing FOC, we have to begin expansion of DGPS into land. This paper investigate the availability of marine DGPS in land. The results will provide a basic guide for estimation of a propagation loss of the marine DGPS frequency in land.

미국은 우리나라와 같이 전국망 DGPS 인프라를 운영하고 있는 국가 중에 하나로 DGPS 서비스를 해양분야 뿐만 아니라 육상분야에도 제공하고 있는 대표적 국가이다. 지난 8월 18일 미 정부는 연방공보를 통해 현재 운영 중인 전국망 DGPS 서비스의 대규모 개편 계획을 공표한 바 있다. 공표된 계획에 따르면, 2016년 1월 15일부로 육상에서의 DGPS 서비스는 중단되고, 해양에서의 DGPS 서비스도 크게 영향을 받을 것으로 예측되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 우리나라와 유사한 형태의 DGPS 인프라를 운영하고 있는 미국이 전국망 DGPS 서비스를 개편하게 된 배경과 원인에 대해 살펴본다. 그리고 미국이 공표한 계획의 실행 전망과 쟁점에 대해 알아본다. 마지막으로 미국의 NDGPS 서비스 운영정책 변화가 우리에게 전달하는 시사점을 제시한다.

National Maritime PNT Office is operating 17 DGPS reference sites. Considering the relatively small size of South Korea, however, we thought that it is maintaining too many stations. For this reason, new algorithms were developed to effectively generate Pseudo-Range Corrections for the purpose of providing consistent DGPS accuracies throughout the country even with a minimum number of stations.

The Korean nationwide differential global positioning system (NDGPS) reference station transmits a global positioning system (GPS) enhancement signal using minimum shift keying modulation with a 200 bps data rate. The ocean-based DGPS covers the service area of 100 NM with 300 W output power; on the other hand, the land-based DGPS transmits the output power of 500 W, which covers the service area of 100 km. The DGPS reference stations with high output power can radiate spurious signals, which may act as interference sources affecting the other DGPS reference stations or the wireless ground stations that utilize the medium frequency band. In this paper, the radiation spectrums of the DGPS reference stations are measured and analyzed in the spurious domain. The DGPS radiation spectrums are evaluated from the perspective of the interference effect.

This paper analyzes the accuracy on the approach and landing of aircraft to an airport through comparison with airbase Precision Approach Radar and aircraft track data of DGPS equipped in aircraft. The proposed analysis result could be a basis for verifying the possibility that DGPS can be utilized in Airbase precision approach and landing. Position identification capability of widely used commercial DGPS is fairly accurate on latitude and longitude, while there is a slight error for being used in an airbase accurate approach and landing of Category I precision when it comes to altitude. Thus, we tested accuracy by analyzing actual flight track data of high performance aircraft to verify the accuracy of the airbase approach and landing using DGPS. Through the research, we developed instrumentation to compare PAR track data with DGPS track data, which can be used in reducing the number of PAR verification Flight utilizing it as a system measuring PAR accuracy at PAR installation phase.

DGPS는 미 군사용 신호를 이용한 정밀도 수준을 제공할 수 있는 위성항법 시스템으로써 30여개 국가에서 해양용 국가망 위주로 구축되고 있다. 특히 미국은 해양용 DGPS 국가망을 내륙으로 확장한 NDGPS(Nationwide DGPS)체계 구축을 2002년까지 완성할 예정이다. 우리나라도 해양용 국가망을 운영하여 해양활동을 하는 사용자에게 3차원 고정밀 위치정보를 제공하고 있다. 근래에 우리나라 연안에 구축되어 사용중인 해양용 라디오비이콘형 DGPS망을 육상으로 연계한 서비스범위 확대방안이 논의되고 있다. 본 연구는 NDGPS에 대한 기초연구로서 운용중인 DGPS 기준국신호를 모델로 하여 해상 전파 설계치 대비 거리 및 지형변화에 따른 전계강도 변화를 분석하였다.

The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs is working on the construction of Nationwide DGPS(NDGPS) with connection to Maritime DGPS Reference Stations and if Chun-cheon Reference Station is to be completed in 2008, DGPS positioning information is available in the whole area of Republic of Korea. Therefore to promote the usage of DGPS surveying information, we measured and panalyzed the accuracy of DGPS. In real-time DGPS positioning accuracy were 0.42m of planar Root Mean Square(RMS) error in static survey and 0.48m of planar RMS error in dynamic survey. We went abreast with RTK comparison measurement. According to these results. DGPS positioning information cannot be applied directly to the GIS construction field, but GIS application fields, requiring the real-time positioning information. can take advantage of it in variable cases.
