The current SBAS service does not provide a method to integrate multiple SBAS corrections. This paper proposes a positioning method to effectively integrate multiple SBAS and multiple GNSS. In the method, the final position is obtained by the weighted sum of the positions obtained from the combination of GNSS and SBAS. Since each position is independently computed and combined using flexible weights, it has a simple structure that can easily cope with various environments. In order to verify the operation and performance of the proposed method, raw measurements of GNSS and SBAS were collected using commercial receivers. The experiments using real signals show that the combined use of two SBAS corrections was more accurate by 0.05~0.4m(2dRMS) than using only one SBAS correction. To improve the position accuracy, this paper considered the integration of multi-GNSS and multi-SBAS, which was not found in other existing studies. The proposed method is expected to be a core technology for designing multi-GNSS navigation receivers considering multi-SBAS corrections. The importance of the method will be increased as KPS and KASS also available in near future.

In this paper, a Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture was designed and implemented for rapid prototyping of GNSS receiver. The proposed SDR can receive various GNSS and direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signals without software modification by expanded input parameters containing information of the desired signal. Input parameters include code information, center frequency, message format, etc. To receive various signal by parameter controlling, a correlator, a data bit extractor and a receiver channel were designed considering the expanded input parameters. In navigation signal processing, pseudorange was measured based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and appropriate navigation message decoder was selected by message format of input parameter so that receiver position can be calculated even if SDR is set up various GNSS combination. To validate the proposed SDR, the software was implemented using C++, CUDA C based on GPU and USRP. Experimentation has confirmed that changing the input parameters allows GPS, GLONASS, and BDS satellite signals to be received. The precision of the position from implemented SDR were measured below 5 m (Circular Error Probability; CEP) for all scenarios. This means that the implemented SDR operated normally. The implemented SDR will be used in a variety of fields by allowing prototyping of various GNSS signal only by changing input parameters.

기존 항로표지의 고장사례 중 항로표지의 임베디드 컴퓨터인 RTU의 SW 및 운영체제 에러가 약 10%를 차지하고 있다. SW 에러의 원인은 무한한 경우의 수를 가지며 이를 모두 수정하는 것은 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 최근 관리해야하는 SW 서비스들의 연산량과 복잡도가 높아져가는 스마트 항로표지에 대한 안정적인 운영 기법으로 반가상화 다중 OS 도커 컨테이너 활용 기법을 제안했다. 서비스의 타입과 예상되는 로드, 오류 발생 빈도에 따라 컨테이너를 나누고 서비스를 탑재하는 것을 제안 하였다.

There are a variety of apps that are finding their way. And in car navigation, we launched a product that reflects Augmented Reality technology this year. However, existing apps have problems. It is implemented in 2D or 3D, has a large error range because it has been modified in most vehicles, is not updated in real time, and car augmented reality navigation is a vehicle, and a separate device is required, etc. In this study, we implemented a smartphone app for walking directions using augmented reality, and made it possible to intuitively use a route service from a user 's location to a destination. The Dijkstra algorithm is applied to calculate the shortest path to solve the problem of finding the route with the least cost. By using this application, it is possible to use the route search service even in a data-free environment, to solve the inconvenience of the language barrier, and to update in real time, so that the latest information can be always maintained. In the future, we want to develop an app that can be commercialized by using a character in the path to promote it.

최근 GPS(Global Positioning System) 의 기능을 보완하고 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 러시아의 GLONASS(Global Navigation Satellite System)를 함께 이용하는 방안이 연구되고 있다. 이러한 방법은 GPS의 SA(Selective Availability)에 의한 오차를 줄이고, 두 종류의 위성을 함께 사용함으로써 적절한 위성배치를 선택해 사용할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPS/GLONASS 통합 수신기에서 사용할 수 있도록 광대역 원편파 특성을 나타내는 개구면 결합 패치 안테나와 개인 휴대 및 차량용으로도 사용하기 적합한 작은 크기의 세라믹 유전체 패치 안테나를 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 안테나는 대역폭이 각각 250 MHz와 242 MHz, VSWR 1.5:1이하, 축비 3 dB 이하로서 GPS 및 GLONASS 신호를 동시에 수신하기 위한 안테나의 특성을 만족하였다.

This paper introduces an algorithm to middle-low price drone's autonomous navigation flight system using computer vision and GPS. Existing drone operative system mainly contains using methods such as, by inputting course of the path to the installed software of the particular drone in advance of the flight or following the signal that is transmitted from the controller. However, this paper introduces new algorithm that allows autonomous navigation flight system to locate specific place, specific shape of the place and specific space in an area that the user wishes to discover. Technology developed for military industry purpose was implemented on a lower-quality hobby drones without changing its hardware, and used this paper's algorithm to maximize the performance. Camera mounted on middle-low price drone will process the image which meets user's needs will look through and search for specific area of interest when the user inputs certain image of places it wishes to find. By using this algorithm, middle-low price drone's autonomous navigation flight system expect to be apply to a variety of industries.

A wideband circularly polarized (CP) antenna with a single feed is proposed for use in global navigation satellite systems. Its primary radiation elements are composed of two orthogonal bowtie dipoles, which are equipped with double-printed vacant-quarter rings to allow direct matching of the antenna to a single $50-{\Omega}$ coaxial line and to produce CP radiation. The crossed bowtie dipole is appropriately incorporated with a planar metallic reflector to produce the desired unidirectional radiation pattern as well as to achieve a wideband characteristic in terms of impedance matching and axial ratio (AR) bandwidths. The designed antenna was fabricated and measured. The prototype antenna with an overall 1.2-GHz frequency size of $0.48{\lambda}_o{\times}0.48{\lambda}_o{\times}0.25{\lambda}_o$ produced a measured ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$<-10 dB bandwidth of 1.05-1.79 GHz and a measured 3-dB AR bandwidth of 1.12-1.64 GHz. It also showed right-hand CP radiation with a small gain variation (${\pm}0.3dB$) and high radiation efficiency (>93%) over the operational bandwidth.

Autonomous vehicles require precise knowledge of their position, velocity and orientation in all weather and traffic conditions in any time. And, these information is effectively used for path planning, perception, and control that are key factors for safety of vehicle driving. For this purpose, a high precision GNSS technology is widely adopted in autonomous vehicles as a core localization and navigation method. However, due to the lack of infrastructure as well as cost issue regarding GNSS correction data communication, only a few high precision GNSS technology will be available for future commercial autonomous vehicles. Recently, a high precision GNSS sensor that is based on a Broadcast-RTK system to dramatically reduce network maintenance cost by utilizing the existing broadcasting network is released. In this paper, we present the performance test result of the broadcast-RTK-based commercial high precision GNSS receiver to test the feasibility of the system for autonomous driving in Korea. Massive measurement campaigns covering of Korea region were performed, and the obtained measurements were analyzed in terms of ambiguity fixing rate, integer ambiguity loss recovery, time to retry ambiguity fixing, average correction information update rate as well as accuracy in comparison to other high precision systems.

A new Computer Integrated Surgical Robot system is composed of a surgical robot, a surgical planning system, and an optical tracking system. The system plays roles of an assisting surgeon and taking the place of surgeons for inserting a pedicle screw in spinal fusion. Compared to pure surgical navigation systems as well as conventional methods for spinal fusion, it is able to achieve better accuracy through compensating for the portending movement of the surgical target area. Furthermore, the robot can position and guide needles, drills, and other surgical instruments or conducts drilling/screwing directly. Preoperatively, the desired entry point, orientation, and depth of surgical tools for pedicle screw insertion are determined by the surgical planning system based on CT/MR images. Intra-operatively, position information on surgical instruments and targeted surgical areas is obtained from the navigation system. Two exemplary experiments employing the developed image-guided surgical robot system are conducted.
