This paper examines the frame boundary detection performance for a satellite navigation augmentation signal orthogonally modulated with Hadamard code to determine the number of message preamble bits. Simulation results show that, even in weak signal environments, designing the message preamble with 32 bits is recommended for achieving stable frame boundary detection.

NSS (Navigation satellite system) provides the information for determining the position, velocity and time of users in real time using satellite-networking, and is classified into GNSS (Global NSS) and RNSS (Regional NSS). Although GNSS services for global users, the exactitude of provided information is dissatisfied with the degree required in modern systems such as unmanned system, autonomous navigation system for aircraft, ship and others, air-traffic control system. Especially, due to concern about the monopoly status of the countries operating it, some other countries have already considered establishing RNSS. The RNSS services for users within a specific area, however, it not only gives more precise information than those from GNSS, but also can be operated independently from the NSS of other countries. Thus, for Korean RNSS, this paper suggests the methodology to design the satellite constellation considering the regional features of Korean Peninsula. It intends to determine the orbits and the arrangement of navigation satellites for minimizing PDOP (Position dilution of precision). PGA (Parallel Genetic Algorithm) geared to solve this nonlinear optimization problem is proposed and STK (System tool kit) software is used for simulating their space flight. The PGA is composed of several GAs and iterates the process that they search the solution for a problem during the pre-specified generations, and then mutually exchange the superior solutions investigated by each GA. Numerical experiments were performed with increasing from four to seven satellites for Korean RNSS. When the RNSS was established by seven satellites, the time ratio that PDOP was measured to less than 5 (i.e. better than 'Good' level on the meaning of the PDOP value) was found to 94.3% and PDOP was always kept at 10 or less (i.e. better than 'Moderate' level).

Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) is a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) that provides approach procedure with vertical guidance-I (APV-I) level corrections and integrity information to Korea territory. KASS is used to monitor navigation performance in real-time, and this paper introduces the design, implementation, and verification process of mission monitoring (MIMO) in KASS. MIMO was developed in compliance with the Minimum Operational Performance Standards of the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics for Global Positioning System (GPS)/SBAS airborne equipment. In this study, the MIMO system was verified by comparing and analyzing the outputs of reference tools. Additionally, the definition and derivation method of accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability subject to MIMO were examined. The internal and external interfaces and functions were then designed and implemented. The GPS data pre-processing was minimized during the implementation to evaluate the navigation performance experienced by general users. Subsequently, tests and verification methods were used to compare the obtained results based on reference tools. The test was performed using the KASS dataset, which included GPS and SBAS observations. The decoding performance of the developed MIMO was identical to that of the reference tools. Additionally, the navigation performance was verified by confirming the similarity in trends. As MIMO is a component of KASS used for real-time monitoring of the navigation performance of SBAS, the KASS operator can identify whether an abnormality exists in the navigation performance in real-time. Moreover, the preliminary identification of the abnormal point during the post-processing of data can improve operational efficiency.

본 논문에서는 IGS 예측궤도력을 이용한 준실시간 정밀단독측위 위치추정 정확도를 분석하였다. 그 결과 2010년 1년 동안 평균오차 1~1.6cm, 표준편차 1~1.3cm로 신속궤도력과 유사한 정밀도 달성이 가능했다. 궤도 이상이 나타난 날 중 44%에서 10cm 이상의 좌표오차가 관측되었으며, 최대 1.7km, 평균오차 최대 308m 수준으로 나타났다. 따라서 예측궤도력을 활용 시 사전에 궤도력 이상현상에 대한 점검이 반드시 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 2012년 12월에 항법서비스 시작, 2020년 개발완료 예정인 중국의 BeiDou 글로벌위성항법시스템에 대한 특성분석과 항법신호의 실험 및 실측 데이터의 통계적 분석에 중점을 둔 연구이다. 정상 운영 중인 14개의 BeiDou 항법위성 중 한반도 서남지역에서 사용 가능한 위성 수는 6~7개 정도로 3차원 위치정보를 얻기 위한 최소 위성수인 4개 이상임을 확인하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 가용위성이 일부구역으로 편중되고 있고, 신호강도는 아직 안정적이지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 항법신호가 안정적인 경우, 실험 및 실측 기간에 확인 된 BeiDou 위성항법시스템의 항법 정밀도는 5m 수준으로 매우 양호하게 나타났다. 위치분포는 정규분포에 근사한 것으로 나타나 향후 항법위성의 증가와 함께 BeiDou 위성항법시스템이 더욱 안정적인 항법정보를 제공하게 될 것으로 전망된다.

세계적으로 GNSS (global navigation satellite system)는 선진국에서 개발 및 운용 중에 있다. 가장 대표적인 시스템인 GPS (global positioning system)을 시작으로 현재 중국의 Beidou가 빠르게 발전하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 빠르게 변화하는 Beidou의 활용을 위해 현재 시점의 한국지역에서 Beidou 위성의 가시성 분석을 수행한다. 이렇게 수행되는 분석에서 안정적으로 서비스되고 있는 GPS와 비교하며 진행하도록 한다. 가시성분석은 mask angle (저앙각 위성 배제 각도)에 따른 결과, skyplot (사용자 위치에서 위성의 위치를 가시적으로 표현하기 위한 그림)을 통한 결과를 수행하였다. 가시성 분석을 통해 한국지역에서 GPS위성에 비해 Beidou 위성의 고앙각 배치가 많아지는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 또한 고앙각 배치가 많아지는 것의 효과를 확인하기 위해 GPS와 Beidou의 가용성 및 위치정확도 분석을 수행한다. 수행 결과에 따라 한국지역에서 고앙각 위성을 활용 할 시 GPS보다 Beidou가 더 효과적일 것으로 확인된다.

Satellite navigation system such as GPS is becoming more important infrastructure for positioning, navigation and timing. But satellite navigation system is vulnerable to interferences because of the low received power, complementary navigation system such as eLoran is needed. In order to develop eLoran/GPS navigation system, integrated eLoran/GPS navigation algorithm is necessary. In this paper, new integrated eLoran/GPS navigation algorithm is proposed. It combines the position domain integration and the range domain integration to get accurate position with less computational burden. Also an eLoran/GPS evaluation platform is designed and performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm using the evaluation platform is given. The proposed algorithm gives an accuracy of the range domain integration with a computational load of the position domain integration.

Since the operation of the first satellite-based navigation services, satellite positioning has played an increasing role in both surveying and navigation, and has become an indispensable tool for precise relative positioning. However, in some situations, e.g. at a low angle of elevation, the use of satellites for navigation is seriously restricted because obstacles like buildings and mountains can block signals. As a mean to resolve this problem, the quasi-zenith satellite system has been proposed as a next-generation satellite navigation system. Quasi-zenith satellite is a system which simultaneously deploys several satellites in a quasi-zenith geostationary orbit so that one of the satellites always stay close to the zenith if viewed from a specific point on the ground of East Asia. Thus, if a position measurement function compatible with GPS is installed in the quasi-zenith and stationary satellites, and these satellites are utilized together with the GPS, four satellites can be accessed simultaneously nearly all day long and a substantial improvement in position measurement, especially in metropolitan areas, can be achieved. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of quasi-zenith satellite system on positioning accuracy improvement through simulation by using precise orbital information of the satellites and a three-Dimensional digital map. Through this simulation system, it is possible to calculate the number of simultaneously visible satellites and available area of the positioning without the need of actual observation.
