In the velocimeter, the ultrasonic pulse signal is used for measuring the profile velocity of moving targets distributed in space because of the merits of its high distance resolution and harmless affect to the human body. The velocity reading in conventional ultrasonic pulsed velocimeter depends on the wave pattern reflecting the spatial distribution of scatters and includes observational error due to the signal processing of analyzing pulse signal. In this paper, we evaluate an influence of the received waveform of pulsed signal on the velocity information by setting a model. Subsequently, in order to improve the distance resolution and to obtain precise velocity information without the influence of the spatial distribution of scatterers, we propose a new method for the analysis of Doppler pulsed signal, in which the pulsed signal is transformed into a phase function with local data. Finally, it is confirmed that the performance of the velocimeter is more improved in the proposed method than in the conventional one.

In this paper, a low-cost, flexible GPS simulator based on USRP is designed as a general-purpose software wireless front-end. The simulator consists of a software GPS signal generator and a USRP-based RF transmitter. The simulator supports various scenarios including specified reception time, quantization bit level, I/Q data types, IF frequency, sampling frequency, SNR, ionospheric delay and user dynamics. The generated GPS RF signal is verified using the spectrum analyzer and off-the-shelf GNSS receivers such as U-blox M8T. The experimental results shows that the difference between generated and real live signal is ignorable. It is expected that designed GPS simulator can be used to GNSS signal design, receiver design and signal processing algorithms such as anti-jamming.

GPS의 원자시계 이상 및 신호 취약 현상에 대비하기 위해 유럽의 갈릴레오, 중국의 BEIDOU, 일본의 QZSS 등 세계 선진각국은 GPS에 독립적인 위성항법시스템을 구축하고 있다. 또한, 위성항법시스템의 백업 용도로 지상항법 시스템인 Loran의 현대화 시스템인 eLoran에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 국내에서도 독자항법에 대한 필요성이 거론되며 GPS에 대한 백업 용도로 Loran 시스템의 현대화를 통한 시각동기 인프라로서의 활용성에 대한 요구가 증대되고 있다. Loran 선호는 100Khz 대역으로 지형환경에 영향을 받는 지표파이다. 지표파는 지형의 전도율과 고도에 의해 전파의 전달 시 추가 지연인 ASF가 발생하고 이 추가 지연은 Loran 항법 및 시각동기에 오차를 유발하는 중요한 요소이다. 이에, ASF의 보정 방법은 Loran과 eLoran 항법에 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 Loran 신호가 지형의 특성에 따라 지연되는 전파 지연 모델을 소개하고 효율적인 전파 지연 보정 방법을 제안하기 위해 전파모델링에 의한 예측값과 실측값을 비교 분석한 결과를 제시한다.

This paper presents a Inertial Measuring Unit(IMU) for motion measurement of an AUV. The IMU is composed of three parts: inertial sensors with three servo accelerometers and three rate gyros, an analog/digital interface board, and a signal processing board with TMS320C31 DSP processor. The IMU is a class of strap-down inwetial navigation system does not applicable directly to the navigation system in consequence of the AUV and integrated sensors for an integrated navigation system of the AUV. Fast calculstion of direction cosine matrix for the coordinate transformation body to reference is obtained through the DSP processor. A switching algotrithm is used to lessen the low frequency drift effect of the gyros in the vertical plane with use of low pass filtering of the signal of the accelerometers.

Although ship's draught information onboard is substantial for both the safety of navigation and the estimation of loaded cargoes its accuracy depends in traditional surveying method on the skillfulness of observers and the condition of the sea surface round the vessel. To obtain more accurate information accessibly measuring instruments with sophisticated sensors such as mechanical electronic and ultrasonic transducers have been developed. however they have still limitation in accuracy and in making up a system due to the complexity of processing signal. In this paper we propose a he technique for analyzing ultrasonic pulse signal in order to improve the measurement accuracy and simplify a remote sensing system of draught by ultrasonic waves. This technique is useful for measuring draught being considered the influence of sea surface fluctuation and for transferring its data briefly to required equipment in integrated bridge system.

The applications of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers are becoming wider in various commercial and military systems including even small weapon systems such as artillery shells. The precision-guided munitions such as Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) of United States can be used for pinpoint strike by acquiring and tracking GNSS signals in high mobility situation. In this paper, a small GNSS receiver with embedded interference suppression capability working under high dynamic stress is developed which is applicable to the various weapon systems and can be used in other several harsh environments. It applies a kind of matched filter and multiple correlator schemes for fast signal acquisition and tracking of even weak signals and frequency domain signal processing method to eliminate the narrowband interference. To evaluate the performance of the developed GNSS receiver, the test scenario of high mobility and interference environment with the GNSS simulator and signal generator is devised. Then, the signal acquisition time, navigation accuracy, sensitivity, and interference suppression performances under high dynamic operation are evaluated. And the comparison test with the commercial GNSS receiver which has high sensitivity is made under the same test condition.

본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 잡음제거 기법 중 하나인 임계화 기법을 이용하여 관성센서 신호의 잡음을 제거하면서도 운동에 의한 신호변화는 상대적으로 왜곡이 적은 필터링기법을 제안하였다. 이는 기존 연구들이 웨이블릿의 장점을 충분히 활용하지 못하고 저역통과 필터와 같은 형태로 사용되기 때문에 급격히 변화하는 항체에 대하여는 부적합한 점을 개선하기 위한 것이다. 제안된 방법의 성능 확인을 위하여 INS-GPS 결합항법 시스템에 적용하였다.

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.

Software-based GNSS receivers have the great advantage in flexibility compared with conventional receivers. But it has some problems to processing IF level Signal RAW data, need long time to process long term data and TTFF is long because the process is too slow. So this time, we concentrated on the signal acquisition, and examined the speedup technique. Using this technique, the acquisition was speedup dramatically, and signal-to-noise ratio was improved.

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a method separating the mixture of signals into statistically and mutually independent ones. It has been applied to not only the Cocktail-party problem but also EEG analysis using the EEG waveform, digital signal processing, image processing and cognitive technique field actively. This study aims to propose a procedure to estimate the modal responses and mode shapes of a floating structure by using the ICA method from measured responses of the floating structure.
