Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, equipped with advanced features and precise specifications, thus demanding efficient and high-performance hardware platforms. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based GNSS receiver development platform for multi-band signal processing. This platform utilizes a FPGA to provide a flexible and re-configurable hardware environment, enabling real-time signal processing, position determination, and handling of large-scale data. Integrated signal processing of L/S bands enhances the performance and functionality of GNSS receivers. Key components such as the RF frontend, signal processing modules, and power management are designed to ensure optimal signal reception and processing, supporting multiple GNSS. The developed hardware platform enables real-time signal processing and position determination, supporting multiple GNSS systems, thereby contributing to the advancement of GNSS development and research.

KVN 수신기는 22/43/86/129GHz 주파수 대역의 우주전파를 관측할 수 있는 4채널 동시 관측 시스템의 핵심으로 다수의 제어 및 모니터 항목이 존재한다. 대표적인 예로 Synthesizer, Pcal, LO, Vacuum, Cryogenic Temperature 등이 있으며 이와 관련된 여러 인스트루먼트가 21m 전파망원경의 하부단에 위치한 수신기실 내에 분산 배치되어 있다. 이에 대한 효율적인 제어를 위해서는 사용자 컴퓨터 관점에서 두 가지 조건이 충족되어야 한다. 첫째, 물리적으로 분산된 인스트루먼트에 대한 접근 및 변경이 용이해야 하고, 둘째는 단일 인터페이스 상에서 다양한 인스트루먼트를 하나로 통합하는 확장성이 보장되어야 한다. 이러한 요건을 고려하여 KVN은 산업 분야에서 널리 쓰이고 있는 프로피버스를 수신기 시스템의 제어를 위한 기반 인터페이스로 활용 중에 있고, 추가 기능 요구에 효율적으로 대처하고 있다. 본 발표에서는 먼저 KVN 수신기 시스템을 구성하는 인스트루먼트에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 그리고 이를 효율적으로 제어하기 위한 기반 인터페이스로서 프로피버스 구축 및 활용 현황에 대해 논하고자 한다.

우리나라 R-Mode(Ranging Mode) 항법시스템은 국제해사기구(IMO, International Maritime Organization)에서 요구하는 항구 입출항용 항법 요구성능(정밀도 10m)을 만족하도록 개발을 진행하고 있다. R-Mode 항법시스템은 위성국 송출을 기반으로 하는 GPS와 달리 지상국 송출을 기반으로 한다. 또한 신호가 세기가 높아서 의도적 전파간섭이 어려우므로 국제해사기구가 요구하는 강인한 PNT(Resilient PNT) 시스템에 적합한 것으로 평가받고 있다. 이러한 요구조건과 기회신호(SoOp, Signal of Opportunity)의 국내 환경에 맞추어 중파(MF, Middle Frequency) 및 초단파(VHF, Very High Frequency)를 이용하는 항법시스템을 개발하고 있다. 해양수산부의 지원으로 2020년에 착수하여 4국의 중파 R-Mode 송신국과 3국의 초단파 VDES R-Mode 송신국 구축을 진행하고 있다. 항법 성능을 확보하기 위하여 R-Mode 보정시스템과 R-Mode 감시시스템을 구축하였다. 해양에서 R-Mode 항법시스템의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 중파 R-Mode 수신기, VDES R-Mode 수신기 및 이를 포함하는 통합항법수신기를 함께 개발하고 있다. 항법 송신기 및 수신기의 성능 검증을 위한 테스트베드는 기존의 지상파 항법(eLoran) 서비스 영역, 중파 R-Mode 서비스 영역 및 주요 항만 등을 고려하여 충청남도 서산시 대산항 지역으로 선정하였다. 보정국 및 감시국을 포함하는 테스트베드 기지국은 대산항에 설치하여 운영을 시작하였다. 테스트베드 실해역 시험을 통한 성능 검증은 2023년 상반기에 진행될 계획이다.

In this paper, integral TS(Transport Stream) demultiplexer of a multi-modal receiver is proposed according to the multiple standards of European terrestrial digital broadcasting DVB-T(Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial), and mobile terrestrial digital broadcasting T-DMB(Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting). This USB based integral receiver could recover the multi-modal broadcasting audios by memory sharing technique which was utilized to decrease the load by the control of streaming multi-modal broadcasting. As a result of performance analysis for a proposed integral TS demultiplexer, the CPU occupational efficiency of windows based integral demulitiplexing is improved compared with DVB-T, and T-DMB respectively.

군용시스템이었던 GPS가 1984년 민간에게 무료사용이 허용된 이후로 현재 위치추적기술과 이를 이용한 서비스가 많이 소개되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 서비스를 이용하기 위해서는 GPS단말기나 교환기, 수신기 등의 장비를 추가적으로 구매해야하는 비용부담이 생길 수밖에 없다. 따라서 거의 누구나 소지하고 있는 이동통신기기 또는 PDA를 사용함으로써 비용부담을 덜고 물류서비스의 효율성을 극대화시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동통신기기나 PDA의 위치추적기능을 물류서비스에 적용하여 비용절약을 꾀하고 이동근무자나 차량의 위치를 실시간으로 파악하고 업무지시나 고객의 요구에 신속히 대응하는 효율적인 위치기반 물류 시스템을 설계하였다.

GPS adapter kit (GAK) is a GPS/INS guided range extension system to improve the accuracy and availability of existing dumb bombs. In this paper, a van test result of GPS/INS navigation module (NM) for guided bomb with GAK has been presented. The NM consists of a commercial MEMS IMU, embedded GPS receiver and navigation computer unit (NCU). The GPS receiver of NM was designed to use multiple antennas for satellite visibility and GPS attitude determination. The real-time navigation software was designed by modularized structure to guarantee the maintainability and extensibility. In order to evaluate the performance of the NM, a van test was preformed by using a high performance INS - Honeywell H-726 MAPS(Modular Azimuth Position System).The van test results show that the GAK NM with GPS attitude measurement gives better navigation performance than a conventional GPS/INS integration and good coasting capabilities under jamming environment.

In this paper, we have studied the tracking system with a single channel monopulse receiver that has a comparative advantage of costs, size, weight, and power consumption over the general 3-channel monopulse receivers. After the single channel monopulse system was composed of an antenna, a monopulse receiver, a servo unit, a RF signal processor unit and a power supply unit, we analyzed the basic tracking performance of the tracking error angle and the pointing loss. And we proved the tracking performance to a moving target in the outdoor environment. On the Analysis of the tracking test results, the single channel monopulse system shows a equal or higher performance over the general 3-channel monopulse system and also has advantages of the system implementation. Also, it is concluded that this study is useful to apply a single channel monopulse receiver with benefits of production price and miniaturization when the monopulse tracking systems will be developed in the future.

GPS(Global Positioning System) and GLONASS(GLObal Navigation Satellite System) are basic technologies providing the information of the position and the time, and they have various applications such as navigation, survey, control, and so on. However, each GPS and GLONASS has limited number of visible satellites, and, from the view of strategy, it is undesirable to be heavily dependent on only one system. Thus, GPS/GLONASS combined receiver became required to obtain more precise navigation and system stability. In this paper, the RF front end of GPS/GLONASS combined receiver was fabricated on 130$\times$80 $\textrm{mm}^2$ PCB(Printed Circuit Board), and its system application was shown finally one chip possibility of GLONASS receiver is studied.
