This paper describes a relative navigation algorithm using PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) and heterogeneous sensor fusion. In order to perform relative navigation between a target and a chaser, a hardware system is constructed and simulations are conducted, using the relative navigation algorithm considering the hardware system. By analyzing errors through the simulations, advantages of using the heterogeneous sensor fusion are found. Finally, navigation performance is verified under an experimental environment established to obtain sensor data from the hardware system for data post-processing.

It has been studied for DGPS/INS(Differential Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System) to offer the more precise and reliable navigation data with the aviation industry development. The flight performance evaluation of navigation system is very significant because the reliability of navigation data directly affect the safety of aircraft. Especially, the high-level navigation system, as DGPS/INS, need more precise flight performance evaluation method. The performance analysis is performed by comparing between the DGPS/INS navigation data and reference trajectory which is more precise than DGPS/INS. The GPS receiver, which is capable of post-processed CDGPS(Carrier-phase DGPS) method, can be used as reference system. Generally, the DGPS/INS is estimated the CG(Center of Gravity) point of aircraft while the reference system is output the position of GPS antenna which is mounted on the outside of aircraft. For this reason, estimated error between DGPS/INS and reference system will include the error due to lever arm. In order to more precise performance evaluation, it is needed to compensate the lever arm. This paper presents procedure and result of flight test which includes lever arm compensation in order to verify reliability and performance of DGPS/INS more precisely.

The recent transition to Performance Based Navigation in aviation enhances the accuracy of aircraft position, safety and efficiency in air traffic operations by using satellite-based navigation system such as GNSS. However, intentional interferences with GNSS signal as well as ones coming from natural phenomena such as solar storm increase. GNSS have very low power and therefore their signals are more susceptible to interferences than ground-based navigation signals. This paper introduces requirements of alternative positioning, navigation and timing(APNT) system and relevant technologies when the GNSS signals are not valid.

This study focuses on the implementation of C-band radio navigation in the 5.03 ~ 5.15 GHz terrestrial band to cooperate with GNSS navigation mainly used in existing UAMs. This is one of the navigation technologies that can fully satisfy the requirements of Title 14 of CFR-135.165. According to the FAA, the use of two or more independent navigation sources for aircraft is proposed for aircraft. This study proceeded with the link budget derivation through radio wave propagation path loss analysis, and antenna shape design for miniaturized Doppler VOR, and DME design with enhanced positional distance resolution compared to conventional aircraft. The ground navigation system which is the result of this study, consists of a VOR/DME ground station and a terminal that can be mounted on UAM. Significant performance was confirmed through the production and testing of each prototype.

In modern industry, the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS) is utilized in various fields, where PNT information (P: Positioning, N: Navigation, T: Timing) is always provided and the accurate location estimation based on PNT information is required. In particular, in order to prevent the infection and the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic situation that began in 2019, the precise GNSS technology and various supporting techniques have been used, and, with active quarantine and efforts for the infection spread restrain around the world, we are facing the transition to an endemic situation. In fields of disease and E-health, the location information of users is absolutely necessary to track and monitor infectionous diseases and provide remote medical services, and GNSS plays a leading role in providing the accurate location information. This paper presents investigation results on the up-to-date research trends in which GNSS technologies are employed in the field of disease and E-health, and analyzes the results.

오늘날 위성항법, 위성통신을 이용한 항공항법감시의 새로운 변화 가운데 국제민간항공기구(ICAO)에서 VDL(VHF Digital Link) Mode 4로 채택된 STDMA (Self-organized Time Division Multiple Access)에 관심이 증대되고 있다. 해양분야에서는 선박위치 자동인식시스템(AIS) 및 선박운행관리시스템(VTS)에서 2002년부터 적용될 예정이고, 항공분야에서는 향후 몇 년후에는 ADS-B, SMGCS에서 응용될 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 STDMA를 이용한 SMGCS구현을 위한 기술개발로서 사전에 측지된 기준국으로부터 실시간으로 GPS 보정값을 생성, 전송하도록 하는 실시간 DGPS기술과 동기신호에 따라 시분할 다중접속을 구현한 소프트웨어 기반의 TDMA기술을 구현하였으며 이를 연구원내에서 차량이동 실험을 수행하여 다수의 이동국간에 측위값을 상호전송함으로써 각각의 위치를 실기간으로 파악할 수 있음을 보였다.

The effects of reflected wave of the sea on pseudolite ranging accuracy are analysed in this paper, when a pseudolite navigation system is used for wide area outdoor applications such as aircraft and vessels positioning. Methods for minimizing the influence of sea surface reflection wave were proposed. The methods include the appropriate correlator in pseudolite navigation system through the correlation performance comparison analysis in receiver design, the use of the technology of multiple antennas, and locating the transmitting station antenna on an appropriate position. From the results of experiments, the method of locating the antenna position shows the most reliable performance against the effect of surface reflection wave. The analysis results of the ranging accuracy improvement are addressed, when the multipath caused by sea surface reflection exists.

위치, 항법 및 시각정보가 육상, 해상, 항공 등 지구상 거의 모든 공간에서 다양한 목적으로 활용되고 있는 위성항법시스템(GNSS, Global Navigation Satelite System)은 그 중요성이 더욱 높아지고 있으며 미국이 제공해 주는 GPS의 고의잡음(SA)제거 및 성능 향상을 통하여 GNSS를 이용한 응용분야의 발전은 더욱 확대되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 위성항법시스템의 P.N.T(Position, Navigation and Timing) 서비스 기능을 사회의 전박적인 주요 인프라 시설에 기초적인 원리의 정확성을 더하고 지속성과 무결함성을 제공할 수 있기 때문에 신뢰성을 가지고 여러분야에 활용되고 있으나 지상에서 약20,200km 고도에 위치한 인공위성에서 미약한 신호를 송신함으로써 GNSS 수신기가 의도적이든 비의도적이든 동일한 주파수 밴드의 신호에 영향을 받을 경우 정상적인 역할을 할 수 없다. 우리나라의 경우 P.N.T 서비스 기반 자체가 GPS에 전적으로 의존하고 있으며 유사시 이를 대체할 항법 시스템을 별도로 갖추고 있지 않고 있어 미국의 고의적인 GPS 서비스의 중단이나 주변국가의 방해전파 송신으로 인한 GPS 신호 중단사태가 발생할 경우에는 우리나라 국가 주요 인프라에 치명적인 피해를 입힐 수 있기 때문에 대체항법을 시스템을 구축하여 독자적인 P.N.T 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 시스템 구축이 국가적인 차원에서 절실하게 필요하다.
