We can process and compute the position, velocity and time by satellite signals of GPS. The signals are used to compute positioning of three dimensions and timing offset of the receiver clock when we can track the tour satellite signals at least. One of the specified aims is to use less expensive single frequency code/carrier phase GPS receivers, which are typically around half the price of dual frequency receivers. In the study, the author analyzed the accuracy and applicability of frequence linear combination using triangulation points evaluated distance limitation.

As the importance and dependency of the positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information provided by the radio navigation satellite service (RNSS) increases, the vulnerability of RNSS to jamming can lead to significant risks. The signal design under the consideration of anti-jamming performance helps to provide service which is robust to jamming environment. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the jamming robustness performance during the design of new signals. In this paper, we introduce figures-of-merit (FoMs) that can be used for an anti-jamming performance analysis of designed signals of interest. We then calculate the FoMs, such as the quality factor (Q factor), tolerable jamming-to-signal ratio (tolerable J/S), and range to jammer (d) for legacy RNSS signals and analyze the results. Finally, based on the results of the analysis, we derive waveform design conditions to obtain good anti-jamming performance. As a result, this paper shows that the waveforms with wide bandwidth leading to good spectral efficiency provide strong anti-jamming performance.

도플러 효과를 이용해서 동물의 위치를 추적하는 경우 동물에 장착된 단말기의 송신신호를 위성의 수신기에서 얼마나 많이, 정확하게 측정하느냐에 따라 위치 추적의 정밀도가 달라진다. ARGOS 위성시스템의 경우 다수의 위성을 운용하여 단말기의 송신신호를 비교적 많이 측정하며, 이러한 많은 측정 데이터를 이용해서 상당히 높은 위치추적 정밀도를 유지하고 있다. 하지만 단일 위성을 사용하는 동물추적시스템의 경우 위성이 단말기를 통과하는 짧은 시간동안 송신 신호를 많이 측정하기 힘들며, 이는 위치추적의 정밀도를 떨어뜨리는 가장 큰 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 단일 위성에서 도플러 천이 측정 데이터의 개수를 증가시키기 위해서 도플러 천이 변화율을 이용하여 수신 데이터를 추정하였으며, 추정된 데이터를 측정치로 사용하여 측정 데이터의 개수를 증가 시켰다. 결과적으로 도플러 천이 변화율을 이용하여 비교적 높은 위치추적 정밀도를 획득 할 수 있으며, 단일 위성을 사용하는 동물추적시스템에 적합한 방식임을 알 수 있다.

위성DMB 서비스 시스템에서는 음영 지역을 커버하기 위한 중계기인 갭필러를 운용하고 있다. 하지만, 갭필러의 커버리지 영역에 한계가 있기 때문에 위성DMB 단말기가 갭필러의 커버리지 영역에서 벗어나면 위성으로부터 직접 신호를 수신한다. 여기서, 갭필러신호 서비스 커버리지와 위성신호 서비스 커버리지 사이에 경계지역이 발생하게 되며, 이러한 경계지역에서는 위성으로부터의 신호와 갭필러로부터의 신호간에 단말기의 복조창보다 차이가 큰 지연시간이 발생하므로 서비스 품질 저하가 발생하게 되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 위성신호와 갭필러신호 사이에 발생되는 지연시간을 극복할 수 있도록 위성신호와 갭필러신호에 Delay를 추가하여 경계지역의 품질을 개선하는 방법을 제안한다. 갭필러시설이 전국적으로 확대되지 않은 서비스 초기단계에서 이 방법은 품질개선활동에 많은 도움이 되리라 사료된다.

GPS(Global Positioning System)는 군사 목적으로 개발되었고, 민간인 신호(GPS L1주파수 C/A 신호)를 개방하면서 많은 발전이 이루어졌다. 현재의 위성은 하루 약 2회 주기로 지구를 공전하며 위치를 측정하는데 위성 신호 3개(초기에는 시각 오차까지 계산하기 위하여 4개)이상을 수신하는데 전파 출발 시간에서부터 수신된 위성 신호의 전파 도달 시간(TOA)까지의 데이터를 삼변측량 방식을 통해 지상 수신기 3차원 위치를 결정한다. 그러나 GPS를 활용한 내비게이션의 경우 보통 5~10m의 위치 오차가 발생하며 아파트와 실내, 터널, 공장지대 및 산악 지대 등, 많은 지역이 GPS의 사각지대 또는 오차 범위 밖의 무력화 지역으로 존재하고 있다. 따라서 GPS 위성 신호의 수신이 불가능한 지역에서 현재의 위치 정보를 획득하기 위해서는 다른 방안이 제시되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 가속도와 자이로 센서가 결합된 IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit)와 지자기 센서를 이용하여 GPS 신호 수신이 불가능한 지형에서도 위치인식이 가능하도록 시스템을 설계 하였다. 9-DOF IMU와 지자기 센서를 이용한 순간 속도 값을 계산하여 현재의 위치를 추적할 수 있는 방안을 연구 하였으며 제작과 실험을 통해 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

Due to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) modernization, recently launched GNSS satellites transmit signals at various frequency bands such as L1, L2 and L5. Considering the Korean Positioning System (KPS) signal and other GNSS augmentation signals in the future, there is a high probability of applying more complex communication techniques to the new GNSS signals. For the reason, GNSS receivers based on flexible Software Defined Radio (SDR) concept needs to be developed to evaluate various experimental communication techniques by accessing each signal processing module in detail. This paper proposes a novel SDR-based A-GNSS receiver capable of processing multi-GNSS/RNSS signals at multi-frequency bands. Due to the modular structure, the proposed receiver has high flexibility and expandability. For real-time implementation, A-GNSS server software is designed to provide immediate delivery of satellite ephemeris data on demand. Due to the sampling bandwidth limitation of RF front-ends, multiple SDRs are considered to process the multi-GNSS/RNSS multi-frequency signals simultaneously. To avoid the overflow problem of sampled RF data, an efficient memory buffer management strategy was considered. To collect and process the multi-GNSS/RNSS multi-frequency signals in real-time, the proposed SDR A-GNSS receiver utilizes multiple threads implemented on a CPU and multiple NVIDIA CUDA GPGPUs for parallel processing. To evaluate the performance of the proposed SDR A-GNSS receiver, several experiments were performed with field collected data. By the experiments, it was shown that A-GNSS requirements can be satisfied sufficiently utilizing only milliseconds samples. The continuous signal tracking performance was also confirmed with the hundreds of milliseconds data for multi-GNSS/RNSS multi-frequency signals and with the ten-seconds data for multi-GNSS/RNSS single-frequency signals.

We describe a single-channel rubidium (Rb) radio-frequency atomic magnetometer (RFAM) as a receiver that takes magnetic signal resonating with Zeeman splitting of the ground state of Rb. We optimize the performance of the RFAM by recording the response signal and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in various parameters and obtain a noise level of 159 $fT{\sqrt{Hz}}$ around 30 kHz. When a resonant radiofrequency magnetic field with a peak amplitude of 8.0 nT is applied, the bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio are about 650 Hz and 88 dB, respectively. It is a good agreement that RFAM using alkali atoms is suitable for receiving signals in the very low frequency (VLF) carrier band, ranging from 3 kHz to 30 kHz. This study shows the new capabilities of the RFAM in communications applications based on magnetic signals with the VLF carrier band. Such communication can be expected to expand the communication space by overcoming obstacles through the high magnetic sensitive RFAM.

Interference always exists between wireless communication systems used in the same frequency band or adjacent frequency bands. In order to deploy a new wireless communication system such as a 5G system, a new frequency band must be allocated to the system. For this purpose, after analyzing interference between the existing system and the new system, a method of setting a frequency guard band or a minimum separation distance has been used as a passive method to limit the interference effect. This paper presents a wideband RF IRM(Interference Reduction Module) that can actively reduce the influence of interference between wireless communication systems. The wideband RF IRM can reduce the interference effects of 5G signals on satellite signals. The principle and structure of the wideband RF IRM are presented. The wideband RF IRM can suppress approximately 20dB of interference signal in 100MHz bandwidth when only interference signal exists. It also shows that when a 5G interference signal of -45dBm/100MHz and a satellite signal of -55dBm/40MHz exist simultaneously at a center frequency of 3.83GHz, about 15dB of 5G interference signal can be reduced in the frequency range covered by the satellite signal. The experimental results demonstrate that the wideband RF IRM can actively reduce the 5G interference signal on the satellite signal and can be used for the purpose of reducing the interference effect in a similar environment.

The public open signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including Global positioning system (GPS) are used widely by many peoples in the world except for the public regulated restriction signals which are encrypted. Nowadays there are growing concerns about GNSS signal spoofing which can deceive the GNSS receivers by abusing these open services. To counter these spoofing threats, many researches have been studied including array antenna techniques which can detect the direction of arrival by means of Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. Originally the array antenna techniques were developed to countermeasure the jamming signal in electronic warfare by using the nulling or beamforming algorithm toward a certain direction. In this paper, we study the anti-spoofing techniques using array antenna to overcome the jamming and spoofing issues simultaneously. First, we will present the theoretical analysis results of spoofing signal response of Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) algorithm in array antenna. Then the eigenvector algorithm of covariance matrix is suggested and verified to work with the existing anti-jamming method. The modeling and simulation are used to verify the effectiveness of the anti-spoofing algorithm. Also, the field test results show that the array antenna system with the proposed algorithms can perform the anti-spoofing function. This anti-spoofing method using array antenna is very effective in the view point of solving both the jamming and spoofing problems using the same array antenna hardware.
