본 논문에서는 지상송신국 기반의 로란-C 전파항법시스템이 위성항법시스템(GNSS)의 등장이후 급속한 이용자 감소로 운영의 효율성이 떨어짐에 따라 다양한 각도의 로란-C 성능평가를 실시하여 활용능률 향상방안을 제안하였으며, 국가항법시스템의체계인 관리를 위해 DGPS시스템과 로란-C를 연계한 GNSS 정보센터를 운영하여 GPS는 물론 Galileo, GLONASS 등 위성항법시템 전반의 상황을 모니터링하고 GNSS 불능 시 로란-C를 BACK-UP시스템으로 활용한다면 GNSS 장애로 인한 국가적대혼란의 예방함께 체계적인 전파항법시스템 관리가 가능할 것으로 결론하였다.

The development motive and maintenance of navigation system were military strategy purpose since middle of 20th century. During cold war period between the United States and the Soviet since the Second World War, advanced navigation system that two countries are responded individually have done development competitively. These systems are exhibited on general except military purpose gradually and are taking charge of point role in economy transport activity such as transportation of logistics between the country. Navigation system can divide into ground system and satellite system. Representative system of ground system is Loran-C(Long Range Navigation), and representative system of satellite system is GPS(Global Position System). Loran-C system is a system that use much in all the world country sea and ground, but GPS and DGPS that present is a satellite navigation system are used much. According to development of satellite system, examine about actual conditions of Loran-C navigation system and practical use plan in this paper because there is controversy about role of Loran-C navigation device along with Loran-C's operation and user decrease, and discusses for Loran-C's development direction.

과거 3-4년 전까지 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템으로 유일하게 논의되고 있었던 현실적 대안은 eLoran이었다. eLoran은 기존에 활용성이 낮아져 서비스가 점차 중단되고 있는 로란-C 시설을 개선하여 보다 높은 PNT 성능을 제공하도록 고안되었다. 기존에 로란-C 시설이 있는 국가나 지역에서는 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템으로 eLoran을 효과적으로 확보할 수 있는 것이다. 그러나 기존 로란-C 시설을 이미 철거하였거나, 로란-C 시설을 가지고 있지 않았던 국가 입장에서는 eLoran을 확보하기 위해 로란-C 시설을 보유한 국가보다 더 많은 시설구축 비용이 필요하게 된다. 반면에 R-Mode는 현재 해상에서 활용되고 있는 전파신호를 이용하므로 신규 전파항법 인프라 구축에 따른 큰 투자 없이 적은 비용으로 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템을 구현할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 대한민국은 세계에서 유일하게 국가안보적 측면에서 GPS 전파간섭의 위협을 받고 있는 국가이다. 대한민국이 직면한 GPS 전파간섭은 해외에서 보고되고 있는 좁은 지역에서의 개인적 소규모 전파간섭과는 차원이 다르다. 특히 지난 2016년 3월 말, 우리나라는 약 엿새간 수도권과 강원지역 등이 동시에 GPS 전파간섭의 영향권 안에 든 바 있다. 이때 GPS 전파간섭은 과거에 발생한 GPS 전파간섭보다 더 넓은 지역에 영향을 주었고, 어선과 같은 소규모 선박의 조업까지 방해하는 피해를 안겼다. 본 논문은 대한민국이 하루 속히 해결해야 할 현안으로 인식되고 있는 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템으로 중파 비컨 R-Mode를 적용할 필요가 있는지 논하고자 한다.

GPS 항법 시스템은 재밍(jamming)에 취약한 것으로 알려져 있다. 실제로 2010년부터 북한은 서해상과 수도권에 GPS 전파교란 공격을 감행, 운행 중이던 선박과 항공기의 네비게이션 등에 다수의 장애현상을 유발시켰다. 이것에 대한 대안으로 eLoran(enhanced Long Range Navigation)이 GPS 항법 시스템을 보완할 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 이에 따라 해양수산부(MOF)는 기존 포항·광주 로란-C 송신국에 UTC(Coordinated Universal Time) 기반의 시각동기시스템 구축하여 지상파 eLoran 시스템으로 활용하기 위한 eLoran 사업을 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 포항·광주 로란-C 송신국에 UTC(Coordinated Universal Time) 기반의 시각동기시스템을 구축하기 위한 요구 사항을 살펴보고, 이 요구 사항에 따른 포항·광주 로란-C 시각동기시스템의 구축 결과에 대해 기술하였다.

The manufacture of current Loran-C signal receiver has been discontinued and there are no spare parts for that. eLoran system is being developed. Judging from these facts, it is necessary to purchase eLoran receivers which also can receive Loran-C signal. Furthermore, the coverage of Loran-C has been decreased as the closure of transmitting stations in Japan. The current monitor station in Ganjeolgot, Ulsan shall be moved to a new place.

In order to establish eLoran (enhanced Long Range Navigation) system, it needs the advancement of receiver, transmitter, data channel addition for Loran information, differential Loran sites for compensating Loran-c signal and ASFs (Additional Secondary Factors) database, etc. In addition, the precise synchronization of transmitting station to the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is essential if Loran delivers the high absolute accuracy of navigation demanded for maritime harbor entrance. For better timing synchronization to the UTC among transmitting stations, it is necessary to measure and monitor the transmission delay of the station, and the correction information of the transmitting station should be provided to the user's receivers. In this paper we presented the measurement method of absolute delay of Pohang Loran transmitting station and developed a time delay measurement system and a phase monitoring system for Loran station. We achieved -2.23 us as a result of the absolute phase delay of Pohang station and the drift of Loran pulse of the station was measured about 0.3 us for a month period. Therefore it is necessary to measure the delay offset of transmitting station and to compensate the drift of the Loran signal for the high accuracy application of PNT (Positioning, Navigation and Timing).

In this study we measured a differential ASF to improve the accuracy of time synchronization with the signal transmitted from Pohang 9930M Loran station. We obtained the differential ASF which is calculated from a difference of the TOA measurements between KRISS and Chungnam National University(CNU), and KRISS and National Maritime PNT Office respectively. The TOA measurement at KRISS was measured by UTC(KRIS) reference clock and other sites were measured by atomic clocks respectively. The time variations of differential ASF measurements at CNU and National Maritime PNT Office were within $0.1{\mu}s$ and $0.05{\mu}s$ respectively. And we found the time variations of $0.1{\mu}s$ depending on the surrounding radio-wave environments from the differential ASF measurements of 60 minute moving averages. We can improve the accuracy of time synchronization of the local clock to within 10 ns by compensating the differential ASF through removing the common component of ASF. And we measured the absolute ASF between the Pohang transmit station and KRISS by the measurement technique of absolute time delay using a cesium atomic clock. The average ASF between two points is about $3.5{\mu}s$.

A significant factor limiting the ranging accuracy of Loran (Long Range Navigation) signal is the additional secondary factor (ASF) in the time of arrival (TOA) measurements. Precise ASF values are essential if Loran deliver the high absolute accuracies demanded for aircraft approach, maritime harbour entrance. We measured the absolute propagation delay between Pohang Loran signal and Loran receiver output signal by comparing with Cesium atomic clock. In this study we measured ASFs between Pohang 9930M station and the 12 measurement points in the Yeongil Bay by using the measurement technique of absolute time delay. The measurement points were spaced at interval of 3 km by 3 km. An E-field antenna and an H-field antenna were used to improve the accuracy of ASF measurements and a DGPS (Differential GPS) receiver was used for accurate positions. We have gotten the result that the measured ASFs were compared with the predicted ASFs through this measurement technique.

Loran-C of ground transmitting station base that can prevent confusion of country navigation system and give BACK-UP function about electric wave navigation comparing utilization incapability state about GPS(Global Positioning System) infra that user is spreading rapidly over our society whole such as sea/aviation safety, vehicles navigation, minuteness agriculture, minuteness measurement in this treatise practical use of Loran-C navigation propose. Executed ASF(Additional Secondary Phase Factor) production and an application experiment Loran-C by location error improvement way to enhance practical use value. By the result Loran-C in conclusion that can improve location error 100~400m remarkably by 10~65m reach. Also, production extent is latitude when go composition medium and bends cotton at ASF revision table utilization of land area, this smell is judged to be suitable hardness 10 minutes. And notable location error improvement and numeric of GPS BACK-UP function are judged to be possible at a ASF revision table application to Korea Peninsula whole area hereafter.

The LORAN system had been used widely and it was an essential navigation aid for ships in the ocean until the GPS is adopted actively. In particular, it was essential functionality for the ships to sail the oceans. According to the advancement of industry, however, the current accuracy of traditional Loran is insufficient for the utilization of harbour approach, land navigation, and the field of survey and timing. Therefore it is necessary that the study on the improvement of the positioning accuracy of Loran. The one of the improving methods is to measure and compensate the propagation time delay between the transmitter and user's receiver, which is called as additional secondary factor (ASF). In this study, we measured the ASF between the Pohang master transmitting station (9930M) and four points where locate within 33 km apart from the transmitting station, using the measuring technique of the absolute time delay without a time of coincidence (TOC) table. As the result of measurement, the ranging error caused by the propagation delay was about 210 m at 33 km, however it can be reduced up to 40 m with ASF compensation.
