과거 3-4년 전까지 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템으로 유일하게 논의되고 있었던 현실적 대안은 eLoran이었다. eLoran은 기존에 활용성이 낮아져 서비스가 점차 중단되고 있는 로란-C 시설을 개선하여 보다 높은 PNT 성능을 제공하도록 고안되었다. 기존에 로란-C 시설이 있는 국가나 지역에서는 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템으로 eLoran을 효과적으로 확보할 수 있는 것이다. 그러나 기존 로란-C 시설을 이미 철거하였거나, 로란-C 시설을 가지고 있지 않았던 국가 입장에서는 eLoran을 확보하기 위해 로란-C 시설을 보유한 국가보다 더 많은 시설구축 비용이 필요하게 된다. 반면에 R-Mode는 현재 해상에서 활용되고 있는 전파신호를 이용하므로 신규 전파항법 인프라 구축에 따른 큰 투자 없이 적은 비용으로 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템을 구현할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 대한민국은 세계에서 유일하게 국가안보적 측면에서 GPS 전파간섭의 위협을 받고 있는 국가이다. 대한민국이 직면한 GPS 전파간섭은 해외에서 보고되고 있는 좁은 지역에서의 개인적 소규모 전파간섭과는 차원이 다르다. 특히 지난 2016년 3월 말, 우리나라는 약 엿새간 수도권과 강원지역 등이 동시에 GPS 전파간섭의 영향권 안에 든 바 있다. 이때 GPS 전파간섭은 과거에 발생한 GPS 전파간섭보다 더 넓은 지역에 영향을 주었고, 어선과 같은 소규모 선박의 조업까지 방해하는 피해를 안겼다. 본 논문은 대한민국이 하루 속히 해결해야 할 현안으로 인식되고 있는 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템으로 중파 비컨 R-Mode를 적용할 필요가 있는지 논하고자 한다.

The eLoran system is a high-power terrestrial navigation system that is recognized as the most appropriate alternative to complement the GNSS's vulnerability to radio frequency interference. Accordingly, Korea has conducted eLoran technology development projects since 2016. The eLoran system developed in Korea provides 20 m positioning accuracy to maritime user in Incheon and Pyeongtaek harbor. To accurately calculate the position with the eLoran signal, it is necessary to apply a compensation method that mitigates the propagation delay. In this paper, we develop the compensation method to mitigate the eLoran signal propagation delay and evaluate the positioning performance in Incheon harbor. The propagation delay due to the terrain characteristics is pre-surveyed and stored in the user receiver. Real-time fluctuations in propagation delay compared to the pre-stored data are mitigated by the temporal correction generated at a nearby differential Loran station. Finally, two performance evaluation tests were performed to verify the positioning accuracy of the Korean eLoran system. The first test took place in December 2020 and the second in April 2021. As a result, the Korean eLoran service has been confirmed to provide 20 m location accuracy without GPS.

Lunar Navigation Satellite System refers to a constellation of satellite providing PNT services on the moon. LNSS consists of main satellite and navigation satellites. Navigation satellites orbiting around the moon and a main satellite moves the area between the moon and the L2 point. The navigation satellite performs the same role as the Earth's GNSS satellite, and the main satellite communicates with the Earth for time synchronization. Due to the effect of the non-uniform shape of the moon, it is necessary to focus on the influence of the lunar gravitational field when designing the orbit simulation for navigation satellite. Since the main satellite is farther away from the moon than the navigation satellite, both the earth's gravity and the moon's gravity must be considered simultaneously when designing the orbit simulation for main satellite. Therefore, the main satellite orbit simulation must be designed through the three-body problem between the Earth, the moon, and the main satellite. In this paper, the orbit simulation tool for main satellite and navigation satellite required for LNSS was designed. The orbit simulation considers the environment characteristics of the moon. As a result of comparing long-term data (180 days) with the commercial program GMAT, it was confirmed that there was an error of about 1 m.

In this paper, we investigate the signal design of six (USA, EU, Russia, China, Japan, and India) countries for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Recently, a navigation satellite system that is capable of high-precision and reliable Positioning, Navigation, Timing (PNT) services has been developed. Prior to system design, a survey of the signal design for other GNSS systems should precede to ensure compatibility and interoperability with other GNSS. The signal design includes carrier frequency, Pseudorandom Noise (PRN) code, modulation, navigation service, etc. Specifically, GNSS is allocated L1, L2, and L5 bands, with recent additions of the L6 and S bands. GNSS uses PRN code (such as Gold, Weil, etc) to distinguish satellites that transmit signals simultaneously on the same frequency band. For modulation, both Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) and Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) have been widely used to avoid collision in the frequency spectrum, and alternating BOCs are adopted to distinguish pilot and data components. Through the survey of other GNSS' signal designs, we provide insights for guiding the design of new satellite navigation systems.

Objectives: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are next-generation industrial nanoparticles which possess excellent mechanical strength along with good thermal conductivity and electric properties. Given these characteristics, carbon nanotubes are being widely applied in various fields, including research and development. However, concerns have been raised over hazardous properties due to their similar fiber shape to asbestos. Recent studies have shown that CNTs pose potential hazards which may cause fibrosis and/or lung inflammation similarly to asbestos. Methods: After intratracheal instillation of SWCNTs and MWCNTs to rats, pulmonary surfactant (PS) of the SWCNTs and MWCNTs was measured and analyzed using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected from the lung. After a single intratracheal instillation of SWCNTs and MWCNTs, phospholipid predominantly showed a significant increase compared to the control group, while proteins exhibited a significant increase both three days and one week after instillation. Results: As a result of surface tension, MWCNTs showed a significant decrease three days after treatment compared to the control group. In the case of the total cell number three days after instillation, MWCNTs revealed a temporarily significant increase when compared to the control group. For PMN number, when compared to the control group, SWCNTs displayed a significant increase throughout the observation period, while MWCNTs showed a significant increase three days and three months after treatment. Conclusions: After exposure to CNTs, the total cell number and PNT number, which indicate inflammatory response, were significantly increased. Therefore, this study suggests fiber-shaped CNTs may have a harmful effect on the lungs.

The users who use a combined GPS/Galileo receiver will benefit from an improved availability of the combined system and a reduced dependence on one particular positioning system. However, these users must solve the problem of an offset between the time scales of GPS and Galileo (GGTO). GGTO must be analyzed for not only a navigation system but also a timing system requesting precise time service. This paper analyzes the interoperability problem in a combined GPS/Galileo timing receiver and estimates the timing performance under various assumptions. The GPS real measurements were collected by using the commercial timing receiver from Ashtech Ltd. and the Galileo measurements were generated by a simulation software. A suitable test scenario set-up and the performance in a point of timing stability was evaluated.

실리카 지지체 위에 은 (silver) 나노 입자를 부착시키는 방법으로는 지지체 표면을 먼저 은입자와 친화성이 큰 amino(-NH2), mercapto(-SH), cyan(-CN) 등의 관능기로 표면처리 하는 방법이 일반적으로 사용된다. 구체적으로 설명하면 첫 단계로 지지체인 실리카입자의 표면을 아민으로 표면 처리 한다. 실리카 입자위에 부착된 아민관능기는 입자 생성의 단계에서 은 (silver) 나노 입자가 붙는 접촉점의 역할과 핵 생성 장소로서의 역할을 하게되고, 아민 관능기의 이런 역할로 실리카 입자 표면에 부착된 핵이 생장하여 입자가 됨으로써 최종적으로 은(silver) 나노 입자가 실리카 지지체위에 부착된 형태의 나노복합체가 형성된다. 분자량이 다른 PVP를 사용하여 제조한, NH2와 SH로 계면처리 된 은-실리카 나노복합체제조를 시도하였다. 사용되는 PVP의 분자량이 증가함에 따라 긴 고분자 사슬에 의하여 생성된 입체장애가 증가하게 되어, 은 핵의 성장에 대한 물리적 장벽이 증가하게 된다. 그러므로 고정화된 은 입자의 크기가 감소하게 된다. 이러한 형상은 NH2기 또는 SH기로 계면 처리된 실리카를 이용하여 제조된 은-실리카 나노복합체 입자들에서 모두 관찰되지만, SH기로 계면처리된 실리카를 사용할 경우 고정화된 은 입자의 수가 더욱 많고, 크기 역시 더욱 균일함을 알 수 있다.

A maritime DGPS in Korea offers pseudo-range correction information and monitors integrity of correction data by using multiple GNSS receivers. The maritime DGPS reference station and integrity monitor service sets alarm threshold value about integrity monitoring parameters for preventing service interruption status. However there is no way to avoid system interruption according to malfunction of backup systems and outside factors. Therefore, in this paper, warning threshold values were proposed for maritime DGPS operator can be counteract in advance. And Markov analysis method was carried out for selection of these warning threshold values.

The international maritime organization(IMO) has defined performance requirements for future maritime navigation through IMO resolution A.915(22) in 2001. Many DGPS systems currently providing DGPS services do not meet the performance requirements specified in IMO resolution A.915(22). The use of SBAS is considered as one of the DGPS replacement and supplementary system for coping with the increase in demand performance and providing safe positioning service. In particular, since a large amount of budget is required to rearrange the existing DGPS reference stations, a method which transmits differential corrections generated by using SBAS message has been proposed. In this paper, we compare and analyze the performance of NDGPS which is operated by the National Maritime PNT Office of the ministry of oceans and fisheries(MOF) in Korea and MSAS in Japan. Also, we verify that SBAS, as alternative and complementary system, meets the performance requirement specified in IMO resolution A.915(22).

Among a few items with world wide competitiveness are the semiconductor and the LCD. Grinding/polishing is the most significant process in manufacturing semiconductor wafers and LCD panels, the most critical quality of which is the precision rate of the machined surfaces. It is well known that the control of the vibrations is the major factor in maintaining superb machined surfaces. In this paper the dynamic properties of a grinding machine have been investigated through the frequency analysis test and the computer simulation to deduce ideas of design modifications for improved stability. The alterations have been applied to the simulation model, which is supposed to have identical dynamic property with the original structure, to identify the effects and to finally achieve the satisfactory level of stability. The result shows that the machine can have much improved stability with relatively simple design changes, and also can improve the surface quality of the products.
