  • 태양 흑점수의 증감주기 (약 11년)에 따른 태양폭발 (태양에서의 플레어 현상)은 태양 코로나 물질을 대방출하는 태양폭풍을 야기한다. 미국해양대기청 (NOAA: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)은 태양 흑점활동이 2013년과 2014년 사이에 극대화 될 것이라고 예상했다. 강력한 태양폭풍의 영향이 지구에 미쳤을 경우 인공위성을 이용한 전 세계 측위시스템의 교란, 각종 통신수단 및 TV, 라디오 방송 등이 영향을 받을 것으로 예상된다. 실제로 1989년 태양폭풍은 캐나다에서 정전사태를 일으켜 9시간동안 약 600만 명이 정전으로 인한 피해를 입은 사례가 있다. 이와 같은 초강력 태양폭풍은 인공위성의 수명을 약 5~10년 정도 단축시키며 이로 인한 경제적 손실 및 파급효과를 고려하면 액수는 수십조 원에 달할 것으로 예상된다. 최근 2011년 2월 15일 10시 45분경 (01:30 - UTC)에 발생했던 X급 태양폭발에 의해 발생한 태양폭풍의 영향이 2011년 2월 18일 오전 10시 30분경 우리나라 (보현산 관측소)에서 관측되었다. 본 논문에서는 현재 흑점수가 증가하고 있는 시점에서 2월 18일의 태양폭발 일주일 전후 지자기 데이터를 비교하고, 또한 대전과 서울지역에서 관측한 RINEX 데이터를 이용하여 측위결과를 비교 분석하였다. 태양폭풍이 지구에 도달한 2011년 2월 18일의 지자기 관측값은 일주일 전후 데이터와 비교하여 양자(Proton) 자력계 관측결과가 요동하였고, 대전과 서울지역에서의 측위결과도 태양폭풍 일주일 전후와 비교하여 2월 18일에 가장 큰 측위오차를 보였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 $0.2\mu\textrm{m}$ GaAs MODFET(modulation doped FET)를 이용하여 제작한 위성방송수신용 고성능 다운컨버터 MMIC에 관해서 보고한다. GaAs 화합물 반도체 기판상에 제작된 본 논문의 고집적 다운컨버터 MMIC는 싱글 밸런스 믹서, IF증폭기, 액티브형 버룬, 그리고 국부 발진기 주파수(LO) 신호의 누설전력 억제용 필터까지 한 칩에 내장하고 있다. 저잡음특성을 실현하기 위해서, 믹서의 소스부에 소스인덕터가 접속된 소스인덕터 피드백 회로형태의 믹서를 이용하였으며, 그 결과 잡음지수 4.8 dB의 초저잡음 다운컨버터 MMIC가 실현되었다. 이는 종래의 위성방송 수신용 다운컨버터 MMIC의 잡음지수보다 3 dB정도 낮은 수치이다. 그리고, 소비전력을 줄이기 위해 믹서에 대해서 저 LO입력 전력 설계를 수행하였고, 그 결과 믹서의 LO신호 입력부에 위치하는 LO 증폭기가 불필요하게 되었다. 이로인해 본 논문의 다운컨버터 MMIC에 대해서 175 mW(동작전압:5V, 소비전류:35mA)의 저소비전력 특성을 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 종래의 위성방송 수신용 다운컨버터 MMIC의 소비전력의 70%에 해당한다. 더욱이, IF신호 출력단에서의 LO신호 누설전력을 억제하기 위해서, 스파이럴 인덕터 필터가 본 논문의 MMIC에 내장되었다. 그리고, 다운컨버터 MMIC 칩의 면적을 줄이기 위해, 믹서의 입력부의 X밴드 입력정합회로로서 MMIC 패키지 내부의 본딩 와이어를 이용하였다. 그 결과, $0.84{\times}0.9\textrm{mm}^2$의 초소형 MMIC가 제작되었다. 본 논문의 MMIC 칩 면적은 종래의 위성방송 수신용 MMIC의 50%이하이다.

  • 지진, 쓰나미 등에 의해 지상에서 생성된 에너지는 대기를 통해 전파되어 전리층 전자밀도를 교란시키므로, 위성신호의 전리층 지연을 이용하면 충격파에 의한 교란을 관측할 수 있다. 전리층의 전자밀도는 지상의 교란원인 이외에도 태양활동, 위도, 계절, 지방시 등 다양한 요인들에 의해 영향을 받는데, 지진 및 쓰나미와 같은 이상상황을 구분하기 위해서는 정상상황에서의 전리층 경향분석이 필요하다. 또한 전리층 교란은 지상의 교란원인으로부터 거리가 멀어질수록 크기가 감소하므로, 원거리 전리층 교란을 효과적으로 검출하기 위한 적절한 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는, 정상상황에서의 전리층 경향분석을 위해 ionosphere exchange(IONEX) 데이터를 이용하여 태양극대기 및 극소기, 위도, 계절 등에 의한 전리층 경향을 분석해보았다. 분석한 정상상황 전리층을 바탕으로 경향성이 제거된 감시값을 설정하고, 전리층 교란의 지속성을 이용한 원거리 교란검출 기법을 설계해 이에 대한 오경보율을 분석하였다. 결과적으로 전리층 지연의 2차 미분 값이 감시값으로 선정되었으며, 오경보율은 1.4e-6수준으로 나타났다. 설계한 기법을 2011 도호쿠 대지진 발생 시 수집된 데이터에 적용하여 교란 검출을 확인하였다.

  • This paper describes a multipath estimation method for Global Positioning System (GPS) dual frequency carrier phase measurements. Multipath is a major error source in high precision GPS applications, i.e., carrier phase measurements for precise positioning and attitude determinations. In order to estimate and remove multipath at carrier phase measurements, an array GPS antenna system has been used. The known geometry between the antennas is used to estimate multipath parameters. Dual frequency carrier phase measurements increase the redundancy of measurements, so it can reduce the number of antennas. The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is recently applied to many areas to overcome some of the limitations of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) such as weakness to severe nonlinearity. This paper uses the UKF for estimating multipath parameters. A series of simulations were performed with GPS antenna arrays located on a straight line with one reflector. The geometry information of the antenna array reduces the number of estimated multipath parameters from four to three. Both the EKF and the UKF are used as estimation algorithms and the results of the EKF and the UKF are compared. When the initial parameters are far from true parameters, the UKF shows better performance than the EKF.

  • Coastline is the most dynamic part of seascape since its shape is affected by various factors. Coastal zone is an area with immense geological, geomorphological and ecological interest. Monitoring coastal change is very important for safe navigation, coastal resource management. This paper shows a result of monitoring coastal morphological changes using Remote Sensing and GIS. Study was carried out to obtain intensity of erosion, deposition and sand bar movement in the Red River Delta. Satellite images of ALOS/AVNIR-2 and Landsat were used for the monitoring of coastal morphological changes over the period of 1975 to 2009. Band rationing and threshold technique was used for the coastline extraction. Tidal levels at the time of image acquisition varied from -0.89m to 2.87m. Therefore, coastline from another image at a different tidal level in the same year was considered to get the corrected coastline by interpolation technique. A series of points were generated along the coastal line from 1975 image and were established as reference points to see the change in later periods. The changes were measured in Euclidean distances from these reference points. Positive values represented deposition to the sea and negative values are erosion. The result showed that the Red river delta area expanded to the sea 3500m in Red river mouth, and 2873m in Thai Binh river mouth from 1975 to 2009. The erosion process occurred continuously from 1975 up to now with the average magnitude 23.77m/year from 1975 to 1989 and 7.85m/year from 2001 to 2009 in Giao Thuy area. From 1975 to 2009, total 1095.2ha of settlement area was eroded by sea. On the other hand, land expanded to the sea in 4786.24ha of mangrove and 1673.98ha of aquaculture.

  • To enable the efficient operation of ITS, it is necessary to collect location data for vehicles on the road. In the case of futuristic transportation systems like ubiquitous transportation and smart highway, a method of data collection that is advanced enough to incorporate road lane recognition is required. To meet this requirement, technology based on radio frequency identification (RFID) has been researched. However, RFID may fail to yield accurate location information during high-speed driving because of the time required for communication between the tag and the reader. Moreover, installing tags across all roads necessarily incurs an enormous cost. One cost-saving alternative currently being researched is to utilize GNSS (global navigation satellite system) carrierbased location information where available. For lane recognition using GNSS, a precise digital map for determining vehicle position by lane is needed in addition to the carrier-based GNSS location data. A "precise digital map" is a map containing the location information of each road lane to enable lane recognition. At present, precise digital maps are being created for lane recognition experiments by measuring the lanes in the test area. However, such work is being carried out through comparison with vehicle driving information, without definitions being established for detailed performance specifications. Therefore, this study analyzes the performance requirements of a precise digital map capable of lane recognition based on the accuracy of GNSS location information and the accuracy of the precise digital map. To analyze the performance of the precise digital map, simulations are carried out. The results show that to have high performance of this system, we need under 0.5m accuracy of the precise digital map.

  • A Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is an enabling technology for an aircraft's precision approach based on a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). However, GBAS is vulnerable to interference, so effective GNSS interference detection and mitigation methods need to be employed. In this paper, an intentional GNSS interference detection and characterization algorithm is proposed. The algorithm uses Automatic Gain Control (AGC) gain and adaptive notch filter parameters to classify types of incoming interference and to characterize them. The AGC gain and adaptive lattice IIR notch filter parameter values in GNSS receivers are examined according to interference types and power levels. Based on those data, the interference detection and characterization algorithm is developed and Monte Carlo simulations are carried out for performance analysis of the proposed method. Here, the proposed algorithm is used to detect and characterize single-tone continuous wave interference, swept continuous wave interference, and band-limited white Gaussian noise. The algorithm can be used for GNSS interference monitoring in an excessive Radio Frequency Interference environment which causes loss of receiver tracking. This interference detection and characterization algorithm will be used to enhance the interference mitigation algorithm.

  • GNSS 가강수량은 태풍이나 집중호우의 일기예보를 위한 중요한 요소로 인식되고 있으며, 가강수량을 수치예보 모델에 초기 입력값으로 적용하여 일기예보가 향상되는 연구가 국내${\cdot}$외로 발표되고 있다. 호우 관련 일기예보를 위해서는 가강수량이 실시간 또는 준실시간으로 제공되어야 하며 가강수량 자료의 정밀함과 무결성이 유지되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 정밀절대측위를 이용한 준실시간 가강수량 산출 시스템 개발 과정에 대해 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 정밀절대측위의 대류권 지연 추정과 관련된 변수를 최적화하고 준실시간 GNSS 가강수량 시스템을 개발하였다. 시스템의 분석을 위해 정밀절대측위와 상대측위의 준실시간 가강수량 정밀도를 비교하였다. 비교결과 정밀절대 측위의 가강수량 정밀도가 상대측위 보다 낮게 산출되었지만 자료의 무결성 부분에서는 좋은 결과가 도출되었다. 향후에는 정밀절대측위 방식의 가강수량 정밀도를 높이는 연구가 필요할 것이다.

  • Recently, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)-derived orthometric height determination has been studied to improve the time and cost-effectiveness of traditional leveling surveying. However, the accuracy of this new survey method was evaluated when unknown points are located lower than control points. In this study, the accuracy of GNSS-derived orthometric height was examined using TPs (Triangulation Points) to verify the stability of surveying in mountainous areas. The GNSS survey data were obtained from Mungyeong, Unbong/Hadong, Uljin, and Jangseong. Three unknown points were surrounded by more than three UCPs (Unified Control Points) or BMs (Benchmarks) following the guideline for applying GNSS-derived orthometric height determination. A newly developed national geoid model, KNGeoid17 (Korean National Geoid 2017), has been applied for determining the orthometric height. In comparison with the official orthometric heights of the TPs, the heights of the unknown points in Mungyeong and Unbong/Hadong differ by more than 20 cm. On the other hand, TPs in Uljin and Jangseong show 15-16 cm of local bias with respect to the official products. Since the precision of official orthometric heights of TPs is known to be about 10 cm, these errors exceed the limit of the precision. Therefore, the official products should be checked to offer more reliable results to surveyors. As an alternative method of verifying accuracy, three different GNSS post-processing software were applied, and the results from each software were compared. The results showed that the differences in the whole test areas did not exceed 5 cm. Therefore, it was concluded that the precision of the GNSS-derived orthometric height was less than 5 cm, even though the unknown points were higher than the control points.
