The Global Positioning System (GPS) is becoming more attractive navigation means for LEO (Low Earth Orbit) spacecraft due to the data accuracy and convenience for utilization. The anomalies such as serious variations of Dilution-Of-Precision (DOP), loss of infrequent 3-dimensional position fix, and deterioration of instantaneous accuracy of position and velocity data could be observed, which have not been appeared during the ground testing. It may cause lots of difficulty for the processing of the orbit control algorithm using the GPS data. In this paper, the characteristics of the GPS data were analyzed according to the configuration of GPS receiver such as position fix algorithm and mask angle using GPS navigation data obtained from the first Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT). The problem in orbit tracking using GPS data, including the infrequent deterioration of the accuracy, and an efficient algorithm for its countermeasures has also been introduced. The reliability and efficiency of the modified algorithm were verified by analyzing the effect of the results between algorithm simulation using KOMPSAT flight data and ground simulator.

이 논문에서 지상파 DMB (T-DMB)의 데이터 서비스를 이용한 새로운 assisted GPS (A-GPS) 시스템을 제안한다. GPS 위성에서 전달되는 약한 신호와 신호 차단 때문에 델리매틱 단말기는 도심 환경에서 위치 결정에 어려움을 가지고 있다. 제안된 A-GPS 시스템은 GPS 위성으로부터 수신된 신호로부터 가상 거리를 계산하고 T-DMB 방송국으로부터 위성 정보 (ephemeris)를 수신하여 단말기의 위치를 결정하게 된다. GPS 시스템과 비교하여 제안된 시스템은 빠른 TTFF (time to first fix), 낮은 HDOP (horizontal dilution of position) 등의 향상된 성능을 보여준다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 시스템은 A-GPS 시스템으로서 구현 가능하고 강력한 방법이라는 사실을 확인할 수 있다.

The effects of a guide fin blade on the flow characteristics in a ventilating axial fan were investigated experimentally. The guide fins were setup onto the pressure surface of the blade, and their effects on the flowrate were evaluated. Two types of the guide fin blade were designed. One is the stem fin blade, and the other is the radial fin blade. The stem fin is designed normal to the circumference of a circle, and the radial fin is designed along the circumference of a circle. The results from the guide fin blade fans are compared with that of the blade without guide fins. The position and the geometry of the radial fin setting up on the blade have an effect on the increase of flowrate with the minor sacrifice of rotational speed of the blades. The radial fin positioning at 0.84 times blade diameter shows highest performance in the flowrate. The increase of the blade weight resulting from applying the guide fins shows minor effect on the variation of rotational speed of the blades.

This paper proposes an efficient photo retrieval system that automatically indexes for searching of relevant images, using a combination of geo-coded information, direction/location of image capture device and content-based visual features. A photo image is labeled with its GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinates and direction of the camera view at the moment of capture, and the label leads to generate a geo-spatial index with three core elements of latitude, longitude and viewing direction. Then, content-based visual features are extracted and combined with the geo-spatial information, for indexing and retrieving the photo images. For user's querying process, the proposed method adopts two steps as a progressive approach, filtering the relevant subset prior to use a content-based ranking function. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, we assess the simulation performance in terms of average precision and F-score, using a natural photo collection. Comparing the proposed approach to retrieve using only visual features, an improvement of 20.8% was observed. The experimental results show that the proposed method exhibited a significant enhancement of around 7.2% in retrieval effectiveness, compared to previous work. These results reveal that a combination of context and content analysis is markedly more efficient and meaningful that using only visual feature for image search.

Relative navigation system is presented using GPS measurements from a single-channel global positioning system (GPS) simulator. The objective of this study is to provide the real-time inter-satellite relative positions as well as absolute positions for two formation flying satellites in low earth orbit. To improve the navigation performance, the absolute states are estimated using ion-free GRAPHIC (group and phase ionospheric correction) pseudo-ranges and the relative states are determined using double differential carrier-phase data and singled-differential C/A code data based on the extended Kalman filter and the unscented Kalman filter. Furthermore, pseudo-relative dynamic model and modified relative measurement model are developed. This modified EKF method prevents non-linearity of the measurement model from degrading precision by applying linearization about absolute navigation solutions not about the priori estimates. The LAMBDA method also has been used to improve the relative navigation performance by fixing ambiguities to integers for precise relative navigation. The software-based simulation has been performed and the steady state accuracies of 1 m and 6 mm ($1{\sigma}$ of 3-dimensional difference errors) are achieved for the absolute and relative navigation using EKF for a short baseline leader/follower formation. In addition, the navigation performances are compared for the EKF and the UKF for 10 hours simulation, and relative position errors are mm-level for the two filters showing the similar trends.

As an absolute positioning system, iGS is designed based on ultrasonic signals whose speed can be formulated clearly in terms of time and room temperature, which is utilized for a mobile robot localization. The iGS is composed of an RFID receiver and an ultra-sonic transmitter, where an RFID is designated to synchronize the transmitter and receiver of the ultrasonic signal. The traveling time of the ultrasonic signal has been used to calculate the distance between the iGS system and a beacon which is located at a pre-determined location. This paper suggests an effective operation method of iGS to estimate position of the mobile robot working in unstructured environment. To expand recognition range and to improve accuracy of the system, two strategies are proposed: utilization of beacons belonging to neighboring blocks and removal of the environment-reflected ultrasonic signals. As the results, the ubiquitous localization system based on iGS as a pseudo-satellite system has been developed successfully with a low cost, a high update rate, and relatively high precision.

One of the most significant errors in the pseudo-range measurement performance of GNSSes (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) is their multipath error for high-precision applications. Several schemes to mitigate this error have been studied. Most of them, however, have been focused on the GPS (Global Positioning System) L1 C/A (Coarse/Acquisition) signal that was designed in the 1970s and is still being used for civil navigation. Recently, several modernized signals that were especially conceived to more significantly mitigate multipath errors have been introduced, such as Time Multiplexed and Composite Binary Offset Carrier (TMBOC and CBOC, respectively) signals. Despite this advantage, however, a problem remains with the use of TMBOC and CBOC modulations: the ambiguity of BOC (Binary Offset Carrier)-modulated signal tracking. In this paper, a novel unambiguous multipath error mitigation scheme for these modernized signals is proposed. The proposed scheme has the same complexity as HRCs (High Resolution Correlators) but with low ambiguity. The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme outperformed or performed at par with the HRC in terms of their multipath error envelopes and running averages in the static and statistical channel models. The ranging error derived by the mean multipath error of the proposed scheme was below 1.8 meters in an urban area in the statistical channel model.

This paper is an overview of the experimental work using a Planar Magnetic Levitation Stage System structure proposed by Dr. Won-Jong Kim in his PhD thesis. Based on his results, we built an Experimental Test Stand (ETS), which enabled us to get accustomed with the new technology and to create new control structures and algorithms. The ETS is controlled by a powerful controller made of 4 DSPs mastered by a PC. This controller structure increases the controller bandwidth up to 10 kHz leading to a better emulation of an analog controller and leaving enough room for further development. Based on analyzing all the factors that can affect the performances of the system, we achieved a great accurate positioning performance of sub-nanometer RMS value.
