GNSS를 이용한 위치 결정은 육상, 항만 및 해양 등의 많은 분야에서 공적 상업적인 목적으로 많이 연구되고 있다. 최근 코드 측정치 분해능이 한계를 가지는 것을 인지하고 반송파 위상 측정치를 이용한 위치 결정에 많은 관심을 가진다. 반송파 위상 측정치는 데이터 수집 환경에 의해서 코드 측정치보다 치명적인 영향을 받아 미지정수 결정과 별개로 반송파 위상 측정치 모니터링에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 반송파 위상 측정치는 다중경로, 수신기 내부 문제 등으로 인하여 Cycle-slip, Half Cycle과 같은 반송파 위상 측정치 이상 현상이 발생한다. 특히, Cycle-slip 현상은 반송파 위상 측정치의 바이어스 성분으로 사용자의 위치 결정에 악영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 Cycle-slip 현상에 대해서 설명하고, 기존에 연구된 Cycle-slip 현상에 대한 검출, 결정 및 확인 기법들의 장단점을 비교하였다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션 기반의 Cycle-slip 검출, 결정 및 확인 기법들의 성능을 비교 분석하였다.

1990년대 제안된 RTK(Real-Time Kinematics)는 GNSS/GPS 반송파 위상(carrier phase) 관측값을 이용한 방식으로 cm 수준의 정확도를 실시간으로 산출할 수 있어 측지 측량 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나 한 가지 중요한 단점은 이 방식을 사용하는 기준국과 사용자는 10~20km 이내에 존재해야만 빠르고 신뢰할 수 있는 해를 산출할 수 있다는 점이다. 이는 궤도오차, 대류층 및 전리층 오차에 공간 상관성(spatially correlated) 있기 때문인데, 사용자 주변을 둘러싼 다중 기준국들의 측정치를 조합하여 보상하거나 모델링하여 줄이는 방식인 다중 기준국 네트워크 기반의 RTK 알고리즘이 제안되어 사용되고 있다. 다중 기준국 네트워크 기반의 RTK 프로세스에서 기준국간 미지정수 결정은 전 과정의 핵심 프로세스라고 할 수 있으며, 관련되어 많은 기술들이 제안되고 연구되어 왔다. 특히, 1980년대 말부터 현재까지 후처리 기반으로 꾸준하게 연구되고 있는 Blewitt에 의해 전리층 제거 조합과 Wide-lane 반송파 위상 조합을 활용한 미지정수 검색 방법이 대표적이며 이후에도 Gao, Colombo등 다양한 연구자에 의해 활용되었다. 이 연구에서는 실시간으로 다중 기준국 반송파 미지정수를 결정하는 기술에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. L1, L2 관측값 조합으로 인한 관측값의 잡음 수준이 증가하는 영향을 피하기 위해 L1, L2 반송파 위상 및 의사거리를 그대로 관측값으로 사용하여 사용자 위치 및 속도, 기준국간 이중 차분된 전리층 지연 수직성분, 대류층 wet 지연 수직 성분, 이중 차분된 미지정수를 미지의 상태변수로 확장 칼만필터를 통해 직접적으로 추정하는 방식으로 미지정수의 실수해를 결정하였고, 정수해는 실시간에 적합한 MLAMBDA 기법과 비율테스트를 통한 정수해 검정기법을 통해 결정하였다.

In this paper, a precise relative positioning with TD(time differenced) carrier phase measurements from a low-cost GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver is proposed and analysed. The proposed method is using carrier phase measurement from a single GNSS receiver that reference receiver is not required and stand alone positioning is possible. TD operation removes the troublesome integer ambiguity resolution problem, and if the time interval is short, other error, such as, ionospheric, tropospheric delay and ephemeris error are effectively eliminated. The error analysis of the proposed method shows that a precise and positioning with carrier phase is possible. The implemented system is evaluated using a real car experiments. The results show that the horizontal positioning error was less than 3m during 10 minutes experiments, which is 4 times more precise than the results of normal code based absolute positioning.

As an application of SDINS/GPS integration for its synergistic results, the SDINS alignments utilizing GPS carrier phase rate measurements. A measurement model of GPS carrier phase rate is derived in order to be used with SDINS alignment process. For in-flight alignment, the performance of the suggested SDINS/GPS integration method is analyzed using the covariance analysis and its results are confirmed by those of van test. Consequently, it is shown that all states of the SDINS integrated system by utilizing GPS carrier phase rate measurements can be estimated more efficiently than a general SDINS/GPS during in-flight alignment.

In this study, The code-carrier divergence test was applied to GPS measurements, and the results were compared and analyzed. The GPS data used for the threshold determination were obtained from Global Navigation Satellite System permanent stations built by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute. At each permanent station, identical dual-frequency receiver and choke ring antenna with radome are installed. The analysis method, root mean square values were compared and analyzed for each permanent station and satellite. As a result, the root mean square value generally decreased as the satellite elevation angle increased although the trend was gentle. Threshold were finally selected based on the average and standard deviation of root mean square for each permanent station. For improving of availability and continuity in real-time operation when the threshold is over the limits, Code-Carrier divergence test values are initialized.

The carrier phase measurements from GPS and GLONASS have different characteristics and therefore, have to be processed with different methods to provide precise positions or attitudes. In this contribution, at first, a measurement model is derived which can be used to not only GLONASS only applications but also both GPS and GLONASS applications. And then an error analysis of the proposed method performed using the derived model to derive analytic relationships between GDOP, PDOP and RGDOP. Finally, an integer ambiguity resolution method which was used in GPS is expanded to GPS and GLONASS. The proposed results can be directly applied to the design and analysis of GLONASS receiver and application programs. Furthermore, it is expected that the suggested method can also be effectively applied to combine the characteristically different measurements from the future satellite navigation systems such as GPS modernization, Galileo and QZSS.

Many researches on the GNSS integer ambiguity resolution methods for precise positioning and attitude determination applications have been done. However, by the time invariant property of the integer ambiguity, the reuse of integer ambiguity without performing time consuming integer search procedure is possible. In this paper, a new efficient integer ambiguity propagation method is proposed. The initial integer ambiguity can be determined using the famous LAMBDA method and it is propagated with the propagation method. The proposed method can reconfigure the integer ambiguity using the previous epoch's integer ambiguity and new carrier phase measurements under environmental variations such as geometry changes, signal blockage and reacquisition. Experiments with real measurements show the proposed method can determine an integer ambiguity effectively.

This study performed fault test on global positoining system (GPS) carrier phase measurements, which is a preprocessing step to generate the positioning correction information based on the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) infrastructure. The existing carrier acceleration ramp step test (CARST) method affects the test result by using the mean value to eliminate the receiver clock error. In this regard, this study applied differencing and compared its results with those of the existing CARST. The fault simulation that applied artificial faults to the actual data found that the fault could be detected independently on each satellite when difference method was applied, and the single difference CARST and the double difference CARST produced similar results. The comparison with the existing method using actual data demonstrated the strengths and weaknesses of satellite and station single difference. Nevertheless, it is our understanding that it would require an additional analysis to determine whether the results were affected by the satellite or receiver clock error.

This paper develops and analyzes a new multiple-hypothesis Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) algorithm as a candidate for future standard architecture. The proposed algorithm can handle simultaneous multiple failures as well as a single failure. It uses measurement residuals and satellite observation matrices of several consecutive epochs for Failure Detection and Exclusion (FDE). The proposed algorithm redueces the Minimum Detectable Bias (MDB) via the Relative RAIM (RRAIM) scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can detect and filter out multiple failures in tens of meters.

The satellite clock anomalies, one of the abnormal signal factors of the GPS satellites, can have a significant impact on the GPS measurements. However, it can be difficult to detect the anomalies of the satellites clock before the range of the satellites clock error becomes bigger than the range of the other factors, due to the measurement including error of the orbit, ionosphere delay, troposphere delay, multipath and receiver clock. In order to perform quick and accurate detection by minimization of critical range in anomalies of the satellites clock, this paper suggested a solution to detect precise anomalies of the satellites clock after application of carrier smoothing filter from measurement by dual-frequency and adjustment of errors which can be occurred by other factor and the receiver clock errors. The performance of the proposed method was confirmed by comparing to the satellite clock biases which are provided by IGS.
