This paper addressed a relative navigation method for autonomous rendezvous and docking of cube-satellites using single frequency Differential GPS (DGPS) under the intermittent communication between satellites. Since the ionospheric error of GPS measurement is variable depending on the visible satellites, a few meters error of relative navigation is occurred in the Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) environment. Therefore, it is essential to remove the ionospheric error to perform relative navigation. Besides, an intermittent communication period for receiving GPS measurements of the target satellite is limited for getting information every sampling time. To solve this problem, a method combining range domain DGPS and orbit propagation is proposed in this paper. The proposed method improves the performance of DGPS by using Hatch filter and solves an intermittent communication problem by estimating the relative position and velocity using Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire Equation. Through the simulation, it is verified that the suggested algorithm provides the relative position error within RMS 0.5 m and the relative velocity error within RMS 3 cm/s. Furthermore, it has the advantage that it is suitable for real-time implementation using single-frequency GPS measurements and is computationally efficient.

There are several applications and error analysis methods using GPS(Global Positioning System) In most analysis positioning and timing errors are represented as the multiplication of DOP(Dilution Of Precision) and measurement errors, which are affected by the receiver and measurement type. Therefore, lots of DOPs are defined and used to analyze and predict the performance of positioning and timing systems. In this paper, the relationships between these DOPs are investigated in detail, The relationships between GDOP(Geometric DOP), PDOP(Position DOP) and TDOP(Time DOP) in the absolute positioning are de-rived. Using these relationships, the affect of clock bias is analyzed. The relationships between RGDOP(Relative DOP) and PDOP are also derived in relative positioning where the single difference and double dif-ference techniques are used. From the results, it is expected that using the common clock will give better performance when the single difference technique is used while the effects of clock is eliminate when the double difference technique is used. Finally, the error analyses of dual frequency receivers show that the narrow lane measurements give more accurate results than wide line of or L1. L2 independent measurements.

전리층에 의한 신호지연은 SA 해제이후 GPS 측위에 가장 큰 오차 요인이다. 전리층 오차는 이중주파수 수신기를 이용할 경우 무전리층 조합으로 쉽게 제거할 수 있지만 단일주파수 수신기는 무전리층 조합을 수행할 수 없기 때문에 전리층 오차를 쉽게 제거할 수 없다는 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 단일주파수 사용자를 위한 격자형 지역 전리층 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 지역 전리층 모델을 평가하기 위해 IGS의 전지구 모델과 비교하였으며 그 결과 열흘 평균 3.8 TECU의 RMSE를 나타내었다. 그리고 측위 정확도에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 생성된 지역 전리층 모델을 적용하여 L1 관측치만을 이용한 중 장기선 상대측위를 수행하였다. 전리층과 대류권 오차를 보정한 결과 두 오차를 보정하기 전의 측위 결과와 비교하여 평균 46.7%의 측위 정확도가 향상되었으며 대류권 오차만 보정한 측위 결과와 비교하여 전리층 오차 보정 후에는 평균 14.5%의 측위 정확도가 향상되었다.

This study presents the usability of the high-rate single-frequency Precise Point Positioning (SF-PPP) technique based on 20 Hz Global Positioning Systems (GPS)-only observations in detecting dynamic motions. SF-PPP solutions were obtained from post-mission and real-time GNSS corrections. These include the International GNSS Service (IGS)-Final, IGS real-time (RT), real-time MADOCA (Multi-GNSS Advanced Demonstration tool for Orbit and Clock Analysis), and real-time products from the Australian/New Zealand satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS, known as SouthPAN). SF-PPP results were compared with LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) sensor and single-frequency relative positioning (SF-RP) solutions. The findings show that the SF-PPP technique successfully detects the harmonic motions, and the real-time products-based PPP solutions were as accurate as the final post-mission products. In the frequency domain, all GNSS-based methods evaluated in this contribution correctly detect the dominant frequency of short-term harmonic oscillations, while the differences in the amplitude values corresponding to the peak frequency do not exceed 1.1 mm. However, evaluations in the time domain show that SF-PPP needs high-pass filtering to detect accurate displacement since SF-PPP solutions include trends and low-frequency fluctuations, mainly due to atmospheric effects. Findings obtained in the time domain indicate that final, real-time, and MADOCA-based PPP results capture short-term dynamic behaviors with an accuracy ranging from 3.4 mm to 8.5 mm, and SBAS-based PPP solutions have several times higher RMSE values compared to other methods. However, after high-pass filtering, the accuracies obtained from PPP methods decreased to a few mm. The outcomes demonstrate the potential of the high-rate SF-PPP method to reliably monitor structural and earthquake-induced ground motions and vibration frequencies of structures.

When calculating the user's position using satellite signals, the signals originating from the satellite pass through the ionosphere and troposphere to the user. In particular, the ionosphere delay error that occurs when passing through the ionosphere delays when the signal is transmitted, generating a pseudorange error and position error at a large rate. Therefore, to improve position accuracy, it is essential to correct the ionosphere layer error. In a receiver capable of receiving dual frequency, the ionosphere error can be eliminated through a double difference, but in a single frequency receiver, an ionosphere correction model transmitted from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite is used. The popularly used Klobuchar model is designed to improve performance globally. As such, it does not perform perfectly in the Korea region. In this paper, the characteristics of the delay in the ionosphere in the Korean region are identified through an analysis of 10 years of data, and an improved ionosphere correction model for the Korean region is presented using the widely employed Klobuchar model. Through the proposed model, vertical position error can be improved by up to 40% relative to the original Klobuchar model in the Korea region.

정밀한 위치정보의 제공은 GPS가 갖는 가장 큰 특징 중의 하나이다. 기준국과 사용자의 공통된 관측정보를 이용하는 상대측위기법이 일반적으로 정밀위치 정보 산출에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 기준국과 사용자의 기선거리가 멀어지면 GPS 신호가 통과하는 공간상의 매질특성이 서로 다르기 때문에 이중차분에 의해서도 전리층과 대류층 등의 오차요인은 완전히 제거가 되지 않는다. 본 연구는 이러한 특성을 고려하여 전리층과 대류층에 대한 오차보정정보를 추가적으로 생성하여 자료처리에 적용하였다. 그 결과 실험지역 17곳 중 14곳은 오차보정정보 적용이후에 위치정확도가 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 기선거리에 따른 위치정확도 향상정도를 분석하였다.

The expected positioning accuracies of civil users utilizing modernized GPS and Galileo are derived using the error analysis in this paper. Since, in general, the performance of DLL, PLL and FLL is proportional to chip lengths and wavelengths, the positioning accuracies from various measurements of modernized GPS and Galileo are derived as function of chip length and wavelength. These results are compared with that from GPS Ll measurement. In absolute positioning, compared to GPS C/A code only case, more than 17 times performance improvement is expected when all civil code signals of modernized GPS and Galileo (L1, L2, L5, E1, E5A and E5B) are used. In relative positioning, compared to GPS L1 carrier phase only case, more than 2 times performance improvement is expected when all civil signals of modernized GPS and Calileo are used. Furthermore, the relationship between GDOP and RGDOP in single frequency case is expanded to general case where multiple frequencies and both code and carrier phase measurements are used.

The attitude determination system is indispensable for navigation, guidance and control tasks. In order to construct this system some special products that use dual frequencies or have on receiver engine with multiple antennas are used. But they are so expensive. Thus there are still strong requirements for the conventional low cost single frequency off-the-shelf receiver. This paper will propose a new technique to resolve integer ambiguity with single frequency GPS receiver and will show the problems of the attitude applications in which low cost receiver are being used. Also, based on this new technique precise attitude determination is presented.

Most of single frequency GPS receivers utilize low-quality crystal oscillators. If a lowquality crystal oscillator is utilized as the time reference of a GPS receiver, the receiver's clock bias grows very fast due to its inherent low precision and poor stability. To prevent the clock bias becoming too large, large clock jumps are intentionally injected to the clock bias and the time offset for clock steering purpose. The abrupt changes in the clock bias and the time offset, if not properly considered, induce serious accuracy degradation in relative differential positioning. To prevent the accuracy degradation, this paper proposes an efficient and systematic method to eliminate the undesirable clock jump effects. Experiment results based on real measurements verify the effectiveness of the propose method.
