In a satellite time management system, the GPS-based clock synchronization technique[1] has the merits of precision time management by knowing the time difference or the error between the OBT(On Board Time) of the internal processors and GPS time every second. It can be realized employing the DPLL(Digital Phase Loop Lock) and FEP(Front End Processor) circuitry for the clock synchronization[2]. In this paper, a refined DPLL & FEP scheme is proposed to provide the precision, stability and robustness of the operation, which is to compensate the errors and noise of the GPS signal, and also to cope with the case when the GPS signal is lost due to several reasons. The simulation and HIL (Hardware In the Loop) test results using the FM(Flight Model) in the course of KOMPSAT-2(Korea Multi Purpose Satellite-2) design and development are illustrated to demonstrate the salient features of this methodology.

In this study, a USV(Unmanned Surface Vehicle) equipped with high-accuracy DGPS(Differential GPS) and single-beam echo sounder was developed. The depth of the reservoir was measured using a USV and a GCS(Ground Control System). A 3D mapping drawing was created using the commercial software ReefMaster. By using USV, the accuracy and efficiency of work was improved. Depth surveying, which was difficult with human resources, is performed using automatic navigation and the volume of the reservoir was calculated. Using 3D mapping drawing, we were able to conduct a detailed investigation of reservoir dredging and ecological environment. It is also expected to be effective in identifying environmental issues.

이용 분야가 다양한 GPS(Global Positioning System) 신호는 지상에서의 수신 신호 세기가 매우 낮아 각종 전파교란 문제에 노출되어 있다. 최근 국내에서도 GPS 전파교란으로 인해 GPS 신호를 이용하는 이동통신 기지국, 항공기 및 선박 등의 분야에서 많은 피해 사례가 발생하였다. 이에 따라 GPS 전파교란에 대한 사회적 관심도가 높아지고 있고 보다 발전된 형태의 전파교란이 발생할 가능성도 높아지고 있다. 이와 같은 상황에서 본고에서는 GPS 전파교란 형태 중 항법수신기에서 잘못된 정보를 제공하게 하는 스마트 재밍에 대한 개념을 소개하고 이를 극복하기 위한 국내외 기술 동향에 대하여 기술하고자 한다.

이 연구에서는 국토해양부 해양교통시설과 위성항법중앙사무소가 운영하고 있는 DGNSS 기준국의 신호수신환경을 파악하기 위해 관측자료의 TEQC 품질평가와 현장조사를 병행하였다. TEQC는 GPS 수신기로 관측한 원시자료를 RINEX형식으로 변환 편집하고, 관측자료의 품질을 점검하는데 이용하는 GPS 전처리 소프트웨어이다. TEQC 품질점검 기능을 통해 GPS 관측자료의 데이터수신율, L1과 L2 신호의 의사거리 다중경로오차, 사이클슬립에 관한 지수를 산출하였고, 이를 현장조사결과와 상호 비교하였다. 장기 관측 자료의 TEQC 품질지수 결과를 통하여 시간변화에 따른 관측소의 주변환경 및 장비변화 시점을 간접적으로 확인하였다.

GPS 수신기에서 항법을 수행하기 위해서 신호탐색, 신호추적, 데이터 동기, 데이터 복조, 측정치 생성 및 위치 계산의 과정을 거쳐야 한다. TTFF(Time To First Fix)는 이러한 시간의 합으로 수신기의 성능을 나타내는 중요 평가지수 중의 하나이다. 일반적인 수신기의 TTFF는 80~90초인 것으로 알려져 있으며, 고속으로 운동하는 항체의 경우, 빠른 TTFF를 필요로 하므로 가장 긴 시간이 소비하는 신호탐색 과정의 시간을 줄여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 고속으로 운동하는 항체에서 GPS 신호의 코드 탐색 시간을 줄이기 위하여 다중 상관기 구조를 가지는 수신기를 설계 하고자한다. 설계한 수신기는 수신된 신호의 코드위상을 여러 개의 상관기에서 동시에 탐색하도록 다중 상관기를 구성하여 코드위상 검색에 소요되는 시간을 단축시킨다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 GPS 모의 신호 발생기를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. GPS 신호는 IF 데이터 수집 장치로부터 수집된 신호를 이용하며, 실험 수행 결과 다중 상관기를 이용하였을 때 TTFF가 단축되는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper discusses recent development trends of fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) in space application. Fiber optic gyroscope utilizes Sagnac effect to measure the angular rate of a rotating object in space. Having a rather short development history compared to ring laser gyroscope (RLG), the fiber optic gyroscope, owing to the emerging technologies in fiber optic society and the digital signal processing technique, reveals itself as a noteworthy replacement of the ring laser gyroscope in the space mission. This paper summarizes the current trends of fiber optic gyroscope based on the actual products commercialized in the market over the last decades, while presenting the future development trends of the fiber optic gyroscope in the space exploration.

In order to obtain continuous navigation information at low cost, we demonstrate, in this work, a position system which is constructed by integrating accelerometers with GPS. The proposed system eliminates vibration and noise elements of accelerometers by using Kalman filter. Calculating continuous navigation information is executed by unifying GPS position data and accelerations of moving and centripetal directions which affect the vehicle. Through simulations and experiments, we show that the performance of GPS can be improved by employing accelerometers. Our proposed system can provide stable and seamless position information where the GPS signal is unavailable due to obstruction like tunnels, and high buildings. The designed system can be implemented at low cost of circuit design and production, and satisfy various installation conditions.

A method for improving the integrated navigation performance in the INS/GPS navigation system by the considering that the condition that the geometric arrangement of the satellite is degraded due to limitation of the line of sight of the satellite such as geographic feature and GPS signal jamming is proposed. A variable covariance extended Kalman filter (VCEKF) that correlated to the measured covariance to the DOP of GPS is suggested. The navigation performance of integrated navigation system using EKF and VCEKF is analyzed by Monte-Carlo simulations. The result is verified that VCEKF has better estimation performance than EKF using fixed covariance on condition that DOP value is larger than the smaller value.

GPS is an efficient system in surveying and car navigation. but it is difficult to catch minimum number of satellite when it is hindered by obstacle such as city area. GLONASS system doesn't have perfect constellation yet, but it has many similarities with GPS system in principle of point positioning and signal system. so, it is expected to be much efficient when it is used with GPS system. For the purpose of this, the coordinates of GPS and GLONASS system, the quality of time and frequency was investigated, and the algorithm of point positioning was made. also, the efficiency of GPS/GLONASS combination was presented by analysing the precision of 3D point positioning using C/A code and Yuma satellite orbit information.
