본 연구에서는 주파수 1.5GHz~1.7GHz 넓은 대역에서 동작하는 내부 슬롯과 외부 스터브를 갖는 원형편파 패치 안테나를 설계하였다. 광대역 특성과 고 이득을 갖기 위해 기본적으로 접지판으로부터 높은 공기층을 적용하였다. 임피던스 대역폭을 개선하기 위하여 패치의 크기, 매인 패치와 접지판 간거리, 내부 슬롯의 길이, 급전 위치, 외부 스터브의 길이 등을 조정하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 1.5GHz~1.7GHz 대역의 안테나를 설계하고 반사손실, 이득, 방사패턴 등의 안테나 특성을 확인하였다.

We propose a small active antenna to receive Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals, i.e., Global Positioning System (GPS) L1 (1,575MHz) and Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) L1 (1,600 MHz) signals. A two-stage low-noise amplifier (LNA) with more than 27 dB gain is implemented in the bottom layer of a three-layer antenna package. In addition, a hybrid coupler is used to combine signals from pair of proximately coupled orthogonal feeds with $90^{\circ}$ phase difference to achieve the circular polarization (CP) characteristic. Three layers of high permittivity (${\varepsilon}_r=10$) substrates are stacked and effectively integrated to have a small dimension of $64mm{\times}64mm{\times}7.42mm$ (including both circuit and antenna). The reflection coefficient of the fabricated antenna at the target frequency is below -10 dB, the measured antenna gain is above 26 dBic and the measured noise figure is less than 1.4 dB.

Modernized GNSS such as new GPS signals updated GLONASS and coming Galileo promises higher quality and higher reliability for users. Powerful technologies such as Internet, ubiquitous network technology and sensor network has been used to promote a safe and more secure lifestyle. This report describes experimental trials to combine these technologies namely GPS and Sensor Network into a high-performance system. GPS is used to enlarge the communication range, resolving the service area limitations, as a wider service area is required at shore areas compared to urban area. GPS position datum is also used as primary network routing information to get practical Sensor Network. Another application is the under water Sensor Network. Accurate GPS position and time are used to establish stable and high reliability underwater acoustic Sensor Network. This paper describes the background of the project 'Harbor area Marine Ubiquitous Sensor Network', preliminary consideration and testing. Radio and acoustic communication is the main focus of this preliminary experiment.

In this paper, a Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture was designed and implemented for rapid prototyping of GNSS receiver. The proposed SDR can receive various GNSS and direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signals without software modification by expanded input parameters containing information of the desired signal. Input parameters include code information, center frequency, message format, etc. To receive various signal by parameter controlling, a correlator, a data bit extractor and a receiver channel were designed considering the expanded input parameters. In navigation signal processing, pseudorange was measured based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and appropriate navigation message decoder was selected by message format of input parameter so that receiver position can be calculated even if SDR is set up various GNSS combination. To validate the proposed SDR, the software was implemented using C++, CUDA C based on GPU and USRP. Experimentation has confirmed that changing the input parameters allows GPS, GLONASS, and BDS satellite signals to be received. The precision of the position from implemented SDR were measured below 5 m (Circular Error Probability; CEP) for all scenarios. This means that the implemented SDR operated normally. The implemented SDR will be used in a variety of fields by allowing prototyping of various GNSS signal only by changing input parameters.

A series of experiments have been carried out by using National Geographic Information Institute(NGII)'s Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) data with various strategies to analyze the impact of multi-GNSS measurements on baseline processing. The results of baseline processing were compared in terms of ambiguity fixing rate, precision, and hypothesis tests were conducted to confirm the statistical difference. The combination of multi-GNSS measurements has helped to improve ambiguity fixing rate, especially under harsh positioning environments. Combination of GPS, Galileo, BeiDou could get better precision than that of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and adding QZSS made the baseline solution's vertical component more precisely. The hypothesis tests have statistically confirmed that the inclusion of the multi-GNSS in the baseline processing enables not only to reduce field observation time length but also to enhance the solution's precision. However, it is of interest to notice that results of the baseline solution are dependent upon the software used. Hence, comprehensive studies should be performed shortly to derive the best practice to select the appropriate software.

GNSS receivers capable of tracking multiple Global Navigation Systems (GNSSs) simultaneously are widely used. In order to estimate accurate user position and velocity, it is necessary to consider the key elements that contribute to the interoperability of the different GNSSs. Typical examples are the time system and the coordinate system. Each GNSS is operated based on its own reference time system depending on when the system was developed and whether the leap seconds are applied. In addition, each GNSS is designed based on its own coordinate system based on earth model constant values. This paper addresses the interoperability issues from the viewpoint of Single Point Positioning (SPP) users utilizing multiple GNSS signals from GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo. Since the broadcast ephemerides of each GNSS are based on their own time and coordinate systems, the time and the coordinate systems should be unified for any user algorithm. For this purpose, this paper proposes a method of converting each GNSS coordinate system into the reference coordinate system through Helmert transformation. The error of the broadcast ephemerides was calculated with the precise ephemerides provided by the International GNSS Service (IGS). The effectiveness of the proposed multi-GNSS correction and transformation method is verified using the Multi-GNSS Experiment (MGEX) station data.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been used as a tool to accurately extract the Total Electron Content (TEC) in the ionosphere. The multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS) constellations bring new opportunities for ionospheric research. In this study, we develop a regional ionospheric TEC model using GPS, Galileo, and QZSS measurements. To develop an ionospheric model covering the Asia-Oceania region, we select 13 International GNSS Service (IGS) stations. The ionospheric model applies the spherical harmonic expansion method and has a spatial resolution of 2.5°×2.5° and a temporal resolution of one hour. GPS TEC, Galileo TEC, and QZSS TEC are investigated from January 1 to January 31, 2024. Different TEC values are in good agreement with each other. In addition, we compare the QZSS(J07) TEC and the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) Global Ionosphere Map (GIM) TEC. The results show that the QZSS TEC estimated in the study coincides closely with the CODE GIM TEC.

2011년 3월 11일 일본 동북부 해양에서 규모 9.0의 강진이 발생했다. 이 지진은 근대적인 지진관측이 시작된 이래 일본 최대 규모로 미야기 현 센다이 동쪽 179km 지점에서 발생했으며, 지진과 해일로 인해 2만 7천여 명에 이르는 사상자가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 일본 IGS 상시관측소의 GPS 관측자료를 기반으로 Mizusawa, Tsukuba 및 Usuda 상시관측소의 지진변위량을 산출하였다. 관측자료의 처리는 온라인 GPS 자료처리 서비스와 정밀과학기술용 소프트웨어를 이용하였으며 정밀절대측위 및 싱대측위 방법으로 처리하였다. 온라인 GPS 자료처리 서비스를 이용한 Kinematic 정밀절대측위를 통해 지진 전 후 IGS 상시관측소의 위치변화를 모니터링하고, 정밀과학 기술용 소프트웨어를 이용한 상대측위 방법으로 지진 전 후의 정밀한 지진변위량을 산출하였다. 연구결과 각 성분별로 최대 ${\pm}0.003m$의 RMSE를 가지는 정밀한 좌표성과를 산출할 수 있었으며, 지진으로 인해 Mizusawa 상시관측소가 남동쪽으로 약 2.6m 이동하였음을 알 수 있었다.

러시아는 자국 내 위성기반 보강시스템의 서비스 제공을 위하여 최근 정지궤도 위성을 통하여 SDCM 신호를 송출하기 시작하였다. SDCM용 정지궤도 위성인 LUCH-5A와 LUCH-5B의 영향권에 포함되어 있는 한반도에서도 현재 테스트 중인 PRN (pseudo random number) 140번 메시지가 수신되고 있어 국내 SDCM의 적용 및 그 성능 분석이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 수신된 SDCM 메시지를 남한 지역의 최북단에 위치한 국토지리정보원 철원 기준국에 적용하였고, 이를 통해 수평 0.8749 m, 수직 0.9589 m (RMS)으로 그 성능이 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다. 또한 GPS와 GLONASS를 동시에 보강하는 SDCM의 특성을 반영하여 분석한 결과, 다중 위성군의 SBAS가 GPS 단독 SBAS에 비해 보호수준은 약 30 % 감소시킴으로써, APV-I 가용성 증대에 기여함을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 다중 위성군의 SBAS가 국내 개발될 KASS 시스템의 성능 향상에 기여할 수 있음을 예측할 수 있다.
