In this paper, the relationship between GPS code and carrier tracking performance is given. Through the error analysis and experiments, the performance of code tracking loop can be improved using narrow correlation. The performance of code tracking loop can be also improved if the better carrier tracking loop is used. On the other hand, the performance of carrier tracking loop is independent of that of code tracking loop.

Modernized GNSS signal structures tend to use tiered codes, and all GNSSs use binary codes as secondary codes. However, recently, signals using polyphase codes such as Zadoff-Chu sequence have been proposed, and are expected to be utilized in GNSS. For example, there is Tiered Differential Polyphase Code (TDPC) using polyphase code as secondary code. In TDPC, the phase of secondary code changes every one period of the primary code and a time-variant error is added to the carrier tracking error, so carrier tracking ambiguity exists until the secondary code phase is found. Since the carrier tracking ambiguity cannot be solved using the general GNSS receiver architecture, a new receiver architecture is required. Therefore, in this paper, we describe the carrier tracking ambiguity and its cause in signal tracking, and propose a receiver structure that can solve it. In order to prove the proposed receiver structure, we provide three signal tracking results. The first is the differential decoding result (secondary code sync) using the general GNSS receiver structure and the proposed receiver structure. The second is the IQ diagram before and after multiplying the secondary code demodulation when carrier tracking ambiguity is solved using the proposed receiver structure. The third is the carrier tracking result of the legacy GPS (L1 C/A) signal and the signal using TDPC.

In this paper, performance of a pseudonoise (PN) code tracking loop is analyzed and simulated for a direct-sequence/code-division multiple access ( DS/CDMA) system with imperfect power control in a multipath fading channel. A noncoherent first-order delay-locked loop (DLL) is considered as a PN code tracking loop. Power control error is modeled as a log-normally distributed random variable. From the simulation results, it is shown that for smaller discriminator offset, tracking jitter performance is improved while MTLL performance is degraded. It is shown that large power control error and heavy shadowing substantially degrade the PN tracking performance. The analysis in this paper can be applicable to design of PN code tracking loop for a DS/CDMA system.

본 논문에서는 3GPP 모뎀용 비동기식 동기추적회로(noncoherent code tracking loop)를 설계하고 설계된 회로의 정상상태 지터 분산(steady-state jitter variance)과 과도응답 특성(transient response characterisitc)을 해석한다. 먼저, AWGN 환경에서의 지터 분산을 펄스성형 필터(pulse-shaping filter), 타이밍 오프셋(timing offset), 신호 대잡음비(signal-to-interference ratio), 루우프 대역폭(loop bandwidth)에 대한 일반식으로 유도하고, 과도응답 특성을 이론적으로 해석한다. 이를 바탕으로, 디지털 하드웨어 구현이 용이한 가변 대역폭 동기추적회로를 설계하며 설계된 회로와 고정 대역폭 시스템의 성능을 이론적으로 비교, 분석하고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

In this paper, effect of imperfect power control on performance of a pseudonoise (PN) code tracking loop is analyzed and simulated for a direct-sequence/code-division multiple access (DS/CDMA) system. The multipath fading channel is modeled as a two-ray Rayleigh fading model. Power control error is modeled as a log-normally distributed random variable. The tracking performance of DLL (delay-locked-loop) is evaluated in terms of tracking jitter and mean-time-to-lose-lock (MTLL). From the simulation results, it is shown that the PN tracking performance is very sensitive to the power control error.

Multipath is an inevitable error source in radio navigation system such as GPS, it causes signal tracking errors such as carrier tracking errors, code tracking errors. Since code tracking error is a dominant error in absolute positioning, this paper focuses on the improvement of code tracking performance. This paper proposes a method that detects the change of autocorrelation function's slope and mitigates the multipath error. Also, this paper shows the performance evaluation results by post-processing the digitized RF samples.

추적 재밍 신호는 얼리-레이트 게이트를 사용하는 코드 추적 회로에 오동작을 야기하므로, 이에 대항하는 코드 추적 회로가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 도약 확산 시스템에서 추적 재밍 신호가 존재하는 경우 수신기의 코드 추적 회로에서 발생하는 오동작을 피할 수 있는 선형 제한-가우시안 필터 알고리듬을 제안한다. 추적 재머가 야기하는 동기 회로의 오동작 메카니즘을 분석하고, 선형 제한-가우시안 필터가 이 문제를 해결할 수 있음을 수학적 분석 및 전산 모의 실험을 통해 입증한다.

In this paper, a PN code tracking loop with extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed for a direct-sequence spread-spectrum. EKF is used to estimate amplitude and delay in a multipath. fading channel. It is shown that tracking error performance is significantly improved by EKF compared with a conventional tracking loop.

The main purpose of this paper is to describe the code tracking performance of a non-coherent digital delay lock loop (DLL) or coherent DLL while tracking GNSS signal in the presence of signal masking. The masking effect is usually caused by buildings that obscure the signal in either a periodic or random manner. In some cases, ideal masking is used to remove random or periodic interference. Three types of the masked signal are considered - no masking, periodic masking, and random masking of the signal input to the receiver. The mean time to lose lock (MTLL) of the code tracking loop are evaluated, and some numerical result and simulation results are reported. Finally, the steadystate tracking errors on the performance of the tracking loop in interference environment are also presented.

This paper presents a system architecture and database of construction quality management system which encourages real time information tracking and monitoring. It improves the real time quality record tracking by using QR code technology in the project delivery. The advantages and issues relative to QR code and the database structures of the tracking system are presented. Conventional project scheduling system, operation modeling and analysis system, and quality management system are hybridized using QR code technology. The system improves project quality management by tracking the atomic tasks which consists of a construction process at the lowest level of construction hierarchy. It analyzes the quality records to determine the causes of abnormality and/or nonconformity. Using QR code technology, the construction quality management system may be more effective than the conventional one. It was confirmed that the quality management processes in construction project delivery can be more visible and controllable by integrating QR code technology, project scheduling system, and quality management system.
