Although the needs for providing resilient PNT information are increasing, threats due to the intentional RFI or space weather change are challenging to resolve. eLoran, which is a terrestrial navigation system that use a high-power signal is considered as a best back-up navigation system. Depending on the user's environment in the eLoran system, the user may use one of E-field or H-field antennas. H-field antenna, which has no restriction on setting stable ground and is relatively resistant to noise of general electronic equipment, is composed of two loops, and shows anisotropic gain pattern due to the different measurement at the two loops. Therefore, the H-field antenna's phase estimation value of signal varies depending on its direction even at the static environment. The error due to the direction of the signal should be eliminated if the user want to estimate the own position more precisely. In this paper, a method to compensate the error according to the geometric distribution between the H-field antenna and the transmitting station is proposed. A model was developed to compensate the directional error of H-field antenna based on the signal generated from the eLoran signal simulator. The model is then used to the survey measurement performed in the land area and verify its performance.

In the future, it is necessary that using the Satellite-based radio navigation augmentation system such as Differential Global Positioning System(DGPS) to achieve a position accuracy of sub-meter level in port. Generally, the receiver for DGPS reference station should meet performance specifications of RSIM Ver. 1.1 presented by RTCM. This paper proposes a method to verify performance of the receiver for DGPS reference station according to the RSIM Ver. 1.1. And this paper presented that performance evaluation of the commercial receiver for DGPS reference station through the proposed method is satisfied with RSIM Ver. 1.1.

GNSS signal is vulnerable to jamming signal because of well-known signal structure and weak signal power. For these reasons, the need for analysis of jamming effects and anti-jamming techniques of is increasing. In this paper, a GNSS signal generator is designed which includes a radio wave propagation model for six kind of tactical environments and a body masking model for the reception environment of a vehicle. The radio wave propagation model for downtown, rural, forest, coastline, waste land and snow or ice area is designed using two-ray model. The body masking model is designed the effect which the antenna is affected by the reception environment of a vehicle and radiation pattern from a user configuration. The performance of generated signals from the GNSS signal generator considering reception environment of a vehicle is evaluated by a commercial GPS L1 receiver(NordNav) in normal and jamming environment. Also, the generated GNSS signal is compared to a commercial GPS L1 H/W based RF signal generator(STR4500). The results show that the designed GNSS signal generator in a normal environment compared to the same navigation performance. In jamming environment, it is shown that the body masking effect and GNSS signal acquisition and tracking loss in compliance with the jamming signal are precisely working in the reception environment of a vehicle.

Re Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in Korea completed the installation of 8 maritime DGPS station mfd is to going install 3 additional Maritime DGPS station for the enhancement of dual coverage in Korean coasts until Oct. 2002. Moreover, Korean government decided to provide the NDGPS service over the whole Korean inland area, which will be schedule to complete until June. 2004. On this paper to evaluate the propagation characteristics of using maritime DGPS site as un element of NDGPS ann to evaluate the required number of additional NDGPS sites, the propagation characteristics of the radio waves of 300kHz bands on sea and land nth are studied With the result of study, the conceptional design of Korean NDGPS System is proposed, which consists of 5 NDGPS sites with modified antenna and tかee coverage monitoring sites.

해상에서의 선박 항해에 있어서 GPS와 같은 위성항법시스템에 대한 의존도가 매우 높다. 하지만 전파 교란 등과 같은 열악한 환경이 선박 주위에 가해질 경우 선박에 탑재된 GPS 수신기에서 위치를 추정할 수 없기 때문에 정상적인 항해가 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 위와 같은 약한 전파 교란 환경을 가정하여 열악한 환경 내에서 GPS 수신기가 위치 추정 정확도는 열화되더라도 자신의 위치를 처음 파악하는 데 걸리는 시간인 TTFF(Time To First Fix)를 감소시켜 선박의 신속한 위치 계산을 위한 개략 위치 추정 기법을 설계하였다. 또한 열악한 신호 환경을 가정하여 진행된 실험에서 기존 GPS TTFF와의 비교를 통해 설계된 기법을 검증하였다.

As a dependency on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) becomes increase in various applications, its reliability has been very important. However, in South Korea, Global Positioning System (GPS) jamming incident happened four times since 2010. GNSS signal is so weak that it is highly susceptible to all types of the jamming. GNSS jamming can cause serious damage in the safety-critical applications based on the GNSS. In this paper, we present the GNSS jamming signal propagation prediction simulator based on ITU-R P.1546 model. This simulator is developed for preventing or reducing the damage from the GNSS jamming attack by predicting the jamming propagation strength based on the geographical information in Korean peninsula.

미국의 전파항법정책(FRP Federal Radionavigation Plan)은 여전히 SA정책(미국방성에서 GPS 위성 궤도에 오차를 실어 전파발사를 하는 정책)을 유지하고 있고, P(Y)코드 접속에 의한 고정밀 위치정보 사용 역시 미군 및 NATO군 등 미 국방성에서 인가한 사용자에게만 허용되고 있는 관계로 그 외의 사용자는 3차원 고정밀 위치정보가 요구되는 항공기 이착륙 유도시스템, 해ㆍ육상 정밀 구조/탐색 및 육ㆍ해ㆍ공 특수목적 등에 군사용 P(Y)코드대신 DGPS를 사용하고 있다. 본 연구는 한반도 남해안 및 동해안 일부까지를 유효거리로 하고 있는 일본 Marine Radiobeaeon/DGPS 시스템에 대한 한반도 연근해에서의 위치정보 사용 가능성을 확인하기 위해 한반도 남해안에서 측정 가능한 일본 DGPS국을 선택 모델로 하여 DGPS Data 측정실험 및 위치정보 정밀도 분석을 하였다. 연구결과 군사용 P(Y) 코드수준의 정밀도를 유지하고 있어 곧 구축 예정인 한국형 DGPS 국가망과 함께 선택적으로 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper considers interference suppression and multipath mitigation in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs). We propose an anti-jam GNSS receiver which suppresses interference and multipath by subspace projection method. The resulting interference suppressed and multipath mitigated signal is then process by a beamformer, whose weight vector maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio of the output signal. The enhanced performance is shown by refined cross correlation and beam pattern.

DGPS는 미 군사용 신호를 이용한 정밀도 수준을 제공할 수 있는 위성항법 시스템으로써 30여개 국가에서 해양용 국가망 위주로 구축되고 있다. 특히 미국은 해양용 DGPS 국가망을 내륙으로 확장한 NDGPS(Nationwide DGPS)체계 구축을 2002년까지 완성할 예정이다. 우리나라도 해양용 국가망을 운영하여 해양활동을 하는 사용자에게 3차원 고정밀 위치정보를 제공하고 있다. 근래에 우리나라 연안에 구축되어 사용중인 해양용 라디오비이콘형 DGPS망을 육상으로 연계한 서비스범위 확대방안이 논의되고 있다. 본 연구는 NDGPS에 대한 기초연구로서 운용중인 DGPS 기준국신호를 모델로 하여 해상 전파 설계치 대비 거리 및 지형변화에 따른 전계강도 변화를 분석하였다.

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Position Accuracy depends on pseudo-range measurement and DOP (Dilution Of Precision) which indicates about navigation satellite geometry. Pseudo-Range has many error sources such as satellite clock, orbit, ionosphere, troposphere, multipath and so on. For the improvement of the accuracy, user can use corrected pseudo-range in DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System), which is one of the relative positioning methods. But, stationary station is needed in relative positioning. In case of DOP, Signal reception environment is important. If receiver sets in the center of city, it could be interrupted reception by buildings. This environment leads to decrease the number of visible satellites and to increase DOP. This paper proposes the concept of GNSS positioning with virtual satellites which have usable VRM (Virtual Range Measurement). Via virtual satellites and VRM, users could get an accurate position. Especially referred virtual satellites constellation has an effect on vertical error.
