The signal broadcast from a GPS satellite experiences code delay and carrier phase advance while passing through the ionosphere, which causes a signal error. Many ionosphere models have been studied to correct this ionospheric delay error. In this paper, the ionosphere modeling for the Korean Peninsula was carried out using a spherical harmonics based model. In contrast to the previous studies, we considered a real-time ionospheric delay correction model using fewer number of basis functions. The modeling performance was evaluated by comparing with a grid model. Total number of basis functions was set to be identical to the number of grid points in the grid model. The performance test was conducted using the GPS measurements collected from 5 reference stations during 24 hours. In the test result, the modeling residual error was smaller than that of the existing grid model. However, when the number of measurements was small and the measurements were not evenly distributed, the overall trend was found to be problematic. For improving this problem, we implemented the modeling with additional virtual measurements.

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.

Ionospheric error modeling is necessary to create reliable global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals using a GNSS simulator. In this paper we developed algorithms to generate Klobuchar coefficients ${\alpha}_n$, ${\beta}_n$ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) for a GNSS simulator and verified accuracy of the algorithm. The eight Klobuchar coefficients were extracted from three years of global positioning system broadcast (BRDC) messages provided by International GNSS service from 2006 through 2008 and were fitted with Fourier series. The generated coefficients from our developed algorithms are referred to as Fourier Klobuchar model (FOKM) coefficients, while those coefficients from BRDC massages are named as BRDC coefficients. The correlation coefficient values between FOKM and BRDC were higher than 0.97. We estimated total electron content using the Klobuchar model with FOKM coefficients and compared the result with that from the BRDC model. As a result, the maximum root mean square was 1.6 total electron content unit.

A large number of service providers in countries all over the world have established GNSS reference station networks in the last years and are using network software today to provide a correction stream to the user as a routine service. In current GNSS network processing, all the geometric related information such as ionospheric free carrier phase ambiguities from all stations and satellites, tropospheric effects, orbit errors, receiver and satellite clock errors are estimated in one centralized Kalman filter. Although this approach provides an optimal solution to the estimation problem, however, the processing time increases cubically with the number of reference stations in the network. Until now one single Personal Computer with Pentium 3.06 GHz CPU can only process data from a network consisting of no more than 50 stations in real time. In order to process data for larger networks in real time and to lower the computational load, a federated filter approach can be considered. The main benefit of this approach is that each local filter runs with reduced number of states and the computation time for the whole system increases only linearly with the number of local sensors, thus significantly reduces the computational load compared to the centralized filter approach. This paper presents the technical aspect and performance analysis of the federated filter approach. Test results show that for a network of 100 reference stations, with the centralized approach, the network processing including ionospheric modeling and network ambiguity fixing needs approximately 60 hours to process 24 hours network data in a 3.06 GHz computer, which means it is impossible to run this network in real time. With the federated filter approach, only less than 1 hour is needed, 66 times faster than the centralized filter approach. The availability and reliability of network processing remain at the same high level.

On board satellite magnetometer measures all possible magnetic components, such as the core and crustal components from the inner Earth, and magnetospheric, ionospheric and' its coupled components from the outer Earth. Due to its dipole and non-dipole features, separation of the respective component from the measurements is most difficult unless the comprehensive knowledge of each field characteristics and the consequent modeling methods are solidly constructed. Especially, regional long wavelength magnetic signals of the crust are strongly masked by the main field and dynamic external field and hence difficult to isolate in the satellite measurements. In particular, the un-modeled effects of the strong auroral external fields and the complicated behavior of the core field near the geomagnetic poles conspire to greatly reduce the crustal magnetic signal-to-noise ratio in the polar region relative to the rest of the Earth. We can, however, use spectral correlation theory to filter the static lithospheric and core field components from the dynamic external field effects that are closely related to the geomagnetic storms affecting ionospheric current disturbances. To help isolate regional lithospheric anomalies from core field components, the correlations between CHAMP magnetic anomalies and the pseudo-magnetic effects inferred from satellite gravity-derived crustal thickness variations can also be exploited, Isolation of long wavelengths resulted from the respective source is the key to understand and improve the models of the external magnetic components as well as of the lower crustal structures. We expect to model the external field variations that might also be affected by a sudden upheaval like tsunami by using our algorithm after isolating any internal field components.

알고리즘의 유연성 및 효율성으로 인해 GPS 이동측위 시 칼만필터가 주로 사용되어 왔으며 동시에 다양한 계통오차의 제거가 가능한 상대측위 기법이 널리 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 기선의 길이가 길어지게 되면 상대측위 기법을 사용하더라도 대기효과를 충분히 제거하기 어렵기 때문에 이 경우 제거되지 않고 남아 있는 대기효과를 상태벡터에 추가하여 추정을 하기도 한다. 칼만필터를 이용하는 경우 일반적으로 대기효과는 랜덤워크 혹은 일차가우스-마르코프 프로세스로 모델링하게 되는데 이때 프로세스 잡음에 대한 정확한 모델링이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 대기효과에 해당되는 프로세스 잡음 모델링을 위해 필요한 매개변수를 결정하였다. 이를 위해 이중차분 전리층 지연값과 천정방향 습윤지연값을 이용하여 실험적 자기상관함수를 계산하였으며 이를 통해 프로세스 잡음 모델링에 필요한 매개변수를 계산하였다. 결정된 매개변수값들은 유사한 대기환경에서 취득된 데이터에 대한 프로세스 잡음 모델링 시 직접 사용될 수 있으며 유사한 대기환경이 아닌 경우일 지라도 초기 근사값으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

우주환경과 밀접한 연관성을 갖고 있는 전리층은 매질의 전자기적 특성상 전파 신호에 간섭을 유도하게 되는데, 전리층 통과시 GPS 신호에 인가되는 이러한 오차를 분석함으로써 전리층의 상태를 추정할 수 있으며, 이는 상충 대기의 순환과 전지구적인 변화 및 우주환경의 물리적 특성을 이해하는 중요한 열쇠가 될 수 있다. 전리층 총 전자수를 정밀하게 측정하기 위해 한국천문 연구원에서 운영하는 9개의 GPS 관측망 데이터를 사용하였으며, 코드 데이터 잡음을 줄이기 위해 의사거리 데이터를 반송파 위상 데이터와 선형 조합을 하였다. 또한 한반도 상공의 위 경도를 $0.25^{\circ}{\times}0.25^{\circ}$의 공간 해상도로 분할하여 각 격자점의 총 전자수를 추정하는 격자 방식의 지역적 전리층 모델을 개발하였으며, 전리층의 정 밀도 향상을 위 해 Inverse Distance Weight(IDW) 기법과 칼만 필터를 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 지역적 전리층 모델과 전세계 전리층 분석센터에서 제시하는 글로벌 모델(GIMs)을 8일 동안 자료 처리 비교한 결과 평균적으로 3 ~ 4 Total Electron Contents Unit(TECU)의 RMS값 차이를 보였다.

장기선 네트워크 RTK(Real-Time Kinematic) 측량, 정밀단독측위(precise point positioning) 및 전리층/대류권 지연 모니터링등 GPS를 이용한 실시간 데이터 처리를 위해서는 IGS(International GNSS Service)에서 제공하는 정밀궤도 수준의 정확도가 시간지연 없이 확보되어야 한다. 본 연구는 준 실시간 위성궤도결정을 위한 선행연구로서 일반적인 위성궤도 결정 방법, 특히 동역학적 방법에 대한 이론적 고찰과 가속도 적분을 위한 지구기준/관성좌표계 변환 방법에 대한 테스트를 수행하였다. IAU 1976/1980 세차/장동모델은 IAU 2000A 모델과 0.05mas 수준의 허용범위 내 차이를 보였다. IAU 2000A 모델은 기본적으로 복잡한 장동모델로 인해 변환행렬 계산에 많은 시간이 소요된다. IAU 2000A 모델에 기존 변환 방법을 사용하는 경우가 NRO(non-rotating origin) 방법에 비해 2배정도 빠른 결과를 보인 반면 회전행렬의 실질적인 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The conventional single-reference station positioning is affected by systematic errors such as ionospheric and tropospheric delay, so that the rover must be located within 10 km from the reference station in order to acquire centimeter-level accuracy. The medium-range real-time kinematic has been proven feasible and can be used for high precision applications. However, the longer of the baseline, the more of the time for resolving the integral ambiguity is required. This is due to the fact that systematic errors can not be eliminated effectively by double-differencing. Recently, network approaches have been proposed to overcome the limitation of the single-reference station positioning. The real-time systematic error modeling can be achieved with the use of GPS network. For expanding the effective range and decreasing the density of the reference stations, Land Survey Bureau, Ministry of the Interior in Taiwan set up a national GPS network. In order to obtain the high precision positioning and provide the multi-goals services, a GPS network including 66 stations already been constructed in Taiwan. The users can download the corrections from the data center via the wireless internet and obtain the centimeter-level accuracy positioning. The service is very useful for surveyors and the high precision coordinates can be obtained real time.
