This paper suggests a new algorithm to provide low-cost GPS modules with DGPS service, which corrects the error vector in the already-calculated position by projecting range corrections to position domain using the observation matrix calculated from the satellite elevation and azimuth angle in the NMEA GPGSV data. The algorithm reduced the horizontal and vertical RMS error of U-blox LEA-5H module from 1.8m/5.8m to 1.0m/1.4m during the daytime. The algorithm has advantage in improving the performance of low-cost module to that of DGPS receiver by a software update without any correction in hardware, therefore it is expected to contribute to the vitalization of the future high-precision position service infrastructure by reducing the costumer cost and vender risk.

GPS를 이용한 이동차량 모니터링시스템은 현재 급속도로 발달되고 있는 실시간 물류추적 및 관리시스템이라 할 수 있다. GPS는 물류 관리에 있어서 가장 기본적인 차량의 위치를 추적하는데 매우 편리한 시스템으로 현재의 물류차량의 위치를 정확하고 신속하게 실시간으로 확인할 수 있는 범지구 위성 위치추적 시스템이다. 물류의 경우 물류의 신속 정확한 전달을 위해서는 물류가 이동되고 있는 과정에서 가장 빠른 경로를 찾고 거리를 환산하여 운송시의 시간을 계산하여야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 물류차량의 시시각각 변하는 위치에 대한 모니터링을 해야할 필요가 있다.

차량의 위치를 인식하기 위한 시스템으로는 위성 위치 확인 시스템(GPS, Global Positioning System)과 관성 항법 시스템(INS, Inertial Navigation System)이 있다. INS는 차량의 최초 위치를 입력해야한다는 점과 시간이 지남에 따라 오차가 누적된다는 점 때문에 GPS와 INS가 상호보완적인요소로 통합하여 사용되고 있다. 하지만 GPS로부터 얻는 위치 정보는 정확성의 문제가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 톨게이트와 전광판을 활용하여 초기의 위치 값을 얻고, 누적오차를 방지하기 위해 재 초기화하는 방안을 제안한다. 고속도로상의 톨게이트와 전광판에는 모두 DSRC(Dedicate Short Range Communication) 시스템을 통해 위치를 전송할 수 있다. 따라서 INS의 최초 위치 입력이 필요한 문제와 누적오차 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 제안 방식을 통해 INS의 장점을 살리면서도 좀 더 정확한 위치를 인식 할 수 있어 차량 간 통신(V2V, Vehicle-to-Vehicle)기반의 이웃 차량 위치인지 시스템에 대한 연구가 더 활발해질 것으로 기대된다.

In the UAVs, the position error of the inertial navigation system is constantly increased when global positioning system goes wrong due to interference. It makes impossible to ensure mission and flight safety. If the data-link system provide the position of the UAV for inertial navigation system periodically, then the UAV may operate normally under malfunction of the global positioning system. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for estimating the position of the UAV using the monopulse tracking and distance measurement of the line-of-sight data-link system. Also, we propose a method to improve the performance of position estimation. And we assured ourselves that this method can be applied in the UAVs.

The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System(QZSS) is the Japanese satellite navigation system, which designs to increase the GPS system's visibility in the urban areas. The first satellite(Michibiki) was launched in 2010 and started to broadcast navigation signals. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to analyze the performance of GPS and QZSS based on the advantage of the integrated GNSS. Especially, the study has been processed in terms of improving satellite navigation parameters around Korean Peninsula. To do this, there have been the comprehensive analysis of the QZSS characteristics, the experimental test, and its statistical analysis for realizing advantage of GPS and QZSS. Through these systemic steps, it was recognized that the integrated GPS and QZSS has more reliable than GPS in case of not only limited visibility but also ordinary positioning. Additionally, the integrated GPS and QZSS would be very useful to improve the various navigation parameters around the peninsula.

Gauss and Laplace methods for initial orbit determination (IOD) are classical orbit determination tools and have been used very efficiently in optical satellite surveillance system. Several studies related to these two methods have been released until now. In this study, we found that the trends of IOD accuracy for different time interval between three pairs of measurement datas show unexpected results. Therefore, we checked the possible cause of these differences. In order to check various orbit types, we used most of satellite data which is able to obtain. To check the characteristics of methodology-only, we used simulated observation data. And we used real observation data for specific satellites to check the characteristics appeared when we applyed these methods to optical satellite surveillance system. As a result, we found that trends of IOD accuracy for time interval could be different because of satellite position observed.

To increase the utilization of the KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite(KOMPSAT) series imagery being developed pursuant to the national space development program, high quality images with enhanced locational accuracy should be created through standardized post-processing processes. In the present study, using the Value-Added Processing System(VAPS) constructed for the post-processing of KOMPSAT imagery, location correction experiments were conducted using KOMPSAT-2 and -3 imagery from domestic and overseas regions. First, 50 pieces from each of KOMPSAT-2 imagery were selected from South Korean and North Korean regions, and modeling was conducted using GCP Chips. According to the results, the Root Mean Square Errors(RMSE) for South Korea and North Korea were 1.59 pixels and 2.04 pixels, respectively, and the locational accuracy of ortho mosaic imagery using check points were 1.33m(RMSE) and 1.90m(RMSE), respectively. Meanwhile, in the case of overseas regions for which GCP could not be easily obtained, the improvement of locational accuracy could be identified through image corrections using Open Street Map(OSM). The VAPS and reference materials used in the present study are expected to be very useful in constructing a precise image DB for entire global regions.

Wide Area Differential GNSS(WA-DGNSS) was developed in order to improve the accuracy and integrity performance of GNSS. In this paper, overall structure of Pseudolite-Based Augmentation System(PBAS) and experimental methods which enables the post-processing test with commercial receiver will be described. For generating augmenting message, GPS measurement collected from five NDGPS reference stations were processed by reference station S/W and master station S/W. The accuracy of augmenting message was tested by comparing SP3, IONEX data. In the test, RF signal of user was collected and correction data were generated. After that, RF signal was broadcasted with pseudolite signal. Test was conducted using three commercial receiver and the performance was compared with MSAS and standalone user. From the position output of each receiver, it was shown that improved position was obtained by applying augmenting message.

Unlike geostationary satellite communication systems, low-earth orbit(LEO) satellite communication systems move at relatively high speeds, and the angle with the ground device is not fixed and varies over a wide range. The propagation channel condition between satellites and ground nodes cannot be assumed line of sight(LOS) anymore. This paper analyzes the low-orbit multi-path fading satellite channel model that can occur in LEO satellite communication systems and Doppler frequency transition caused by high-speed maneuvering of LEO satellites and presents effective equalization techniques for OFDM and SC-FDE transmission methods suitable for multi-path frequency selective fading satellite channel models. In addition, this paper compares and analyzes the performance of OFDM and SC-FDE transmission methods in multipath fading LEO satellite channel environment using the proposed equalization techniques through simulations. Simulation results showed that SC-FDE outpeformed OFDM.

The ICAO and FAA are developing and verifying of GBAS for civil aircraft landing and take-off. The guarantee of aircraft integrity issue is the important part of GBAS. To guarantee integrity, the GBAS ground facility broadcasts various informations to aircraft. The informations are related to the estimated accuracy of each pseudorange correction and the estimated error terms, for example B-value and standard deviation of the ground facility error. These parameters are used to calculate position error (estimated value of the user). If estimated position errors don't satisfy requirements, aircraft use alternate navigation means. In this paper, GBAS reference stations's real data, which operated by KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) in Jeju international airport, are used to development of new ground facility error standard deviation model. We verify improvement of GBAS availability, with respected to vertical protection level, using B-value based a new ground facility error standard deviation model and a sigma inflation factor.
