This study developed an approach for improving Carrier-phase Differential Global Positioning System (CDGPS) based realtime satellite relative navigation by applying laser baseline measurement data. The robustness against the space operational environment was considered, and a Synthetic Wavelength Interferometer (SWI) algorithm based on a femtosecond laser measurement model was developed. The phase differences between two laser wavelengths were combined to measure precise distance. Generated laser data were used to improve estimation accuracy for the float ambiguity of CDGPS data. Relative navigation simulations in real-time were performed using the extended Kalman filter algorithm. The GPS and laser-combined relative navigation accuracy was compared with GPS-only relative navigation solutions to determine the impact of laser data on relative navigation. In numerical simulations, the success rate of integer ambiguity resolution increased when laser data was added to GPS data. The relative navigational errors also improved five-fold and two-fold, relative to the GPS-only error, for 250 m and 5 km initial relative distances, respectively. The methodology developed in this study is suitable for application to future satellite formation-flying missions.

Due to inaccurate safe navigation estimates, maritime accidents have been occurring consistently. In order to solve this, the precise positioning technology using carrier phase information is used, but due to high buildings near inland waterways or inclination, satellite signals might become weak or blocked for some time. Under this weak signal environment for some time, the GPS raw measurements become less accurate so that it is difficult to search and maintain the integer ambiguity of carrier phase. In this paper, a method to generate code and carrier phase measurements under this environment and maintain resilient navigation is proposed. In the weak signal environment, the position of the receiver is estimated using an inertial sensor, and with this information, the distance between the satellite and the receiver is calculated to generate code measurements using IGS product and model. And, the carrier phase measurements are generated based on the statistics for generating fractional phase. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, the proposed method was compared for a fixed blocked time. It was confirmed that in case of a weak or blocked satellite signals for 1 to 5 minutes, the proposed method showed more improved results than the inertial navigation only, maintaining stable positioning accuracy within 1 m.

In this study, a carrier smoothed global positioning system / dead reckoning (CSGPS/DR) integrated system for high-precision trajectory estimation for the purpose of vehicle navigation was proposed. Existing code-based GPS has a low position accuracy, and carrier-phase differential global positioning system (CPDGPS) has a long waiting time for high-precision positioning and has a problem of high cost due to the establishment of infrastructure. To resolve this, the continuity of a trajectory was guaranteed by integrating CSGPS and DR. The results of the experiment indicated that the trajectory precision of the code-based GPS showed an error performance of more than 30cm, while that of the CSGPS/DR integrated system showed an error performance of less than 10cm. Based on this, it was found that the trajectory precision of the proposed CSGPS/DR integrated system is superior to that of the code-based GPS.

The attitude of a vehicle can be precisely determined using GPS carrier phase measurements from more than two antennas attached to a vehicle and an efficient integer ambiguity resolution technique. Many methods utilizing the known baseline length as a constraint of independent elements of integer ambiguities are proposed to resolve integer ambiguity at real time. Three-dimensional search space is reduced to two-dimensional search space with this constraint. Thus the true integer ambiguity can be easily determined with less computational burden and fewer number of measurements. But there are still strong requirements for the real time integer ambiguity resolution, which uses single epoch measurement of long baseline. In this paper, a new constraint from the geometry of multiple baselines is derived. With this new constraint, two-dimensional search space is further reduced to one-dimensional search space. It makes possible to determine integer ambiguity with single epoch measurement. The proposed method is applied to real data to show its effectiveness.

GPS(Global Positioning System) 위성에서 수신된 L1(1575.42MHz) 반송파 위상자료를 이용하여 지표면의 두 지점의 기선 백터와 기선거리를 계산할 수 있는 S/W는 크게 네 부분으로 구성된다. 첫째는 위성의 위치를 계산하는 부분, 둘째는 단일 차분 방정식을 구성하는 부분 셋째는 이중 차분을 구성하는 부분, 그리고 마지막으로 상관관계를 계산하는 부분이다. 개발한 S/W의 정확도를 검증하기 위하여, 대전 천문대의 GPS 관측소($N37^{circ}.75,E127^{circ}.37,H77.61m$)를 중심으로 약 2.7, 42.1, 81.1, 146.6km 떨어진 네 지점에서 Trimble 수신기를 이용하여 동시에 GPS 위성으로부터 관측자료를 획득하였다. 획득한 관측자료를 이 연구에서 개발한 S/W로 처리하였고, 그 결과를 Trimble사의 자료처리 S/W인 GPS Survey에 GPS 위성의 방송 궤도력을 적용하여 L1/L2 ION-Free 기법으로 계산한 결과와 비교 하였다. 두 S/W 시스템으로 산출한 기선 백터의 각 성분은 약 50cm내외에서 잘 일치하였고 기선 거리는 약 10cm내외에서 서로 일치하였다.

본 논문은 차량 환경에서 GPS 반송파 기반 위치 결정을 위한 반송파 불연속 측정치 검출에 대한 내용을 다룬다. 반송파 기반 위치 결정 방식에 있어서 위치 정확도의 신뢰도를 확보하기 위해서는 반송파 불연속 측정치를 검출해야 한다. 반송파 불연속 측정치를 검출하는 방식에는 여러 연구가 있지만 본 연구에서는 차분된 반송파 측정치와 저가의 관성센서를 이용해 추정한 차분된 반송파의 차이를 모니터링 값으로 설정함으로써 GPS 불연속 측정치를 검출한다. 저가의 불연속 측정치 검출 알고리즘을 개발하는 것을 목표로 설계된 불연속 측정치 검출 성능 만족을 위한 관성센서 성능 범위를 도출한다. 이를 통해 적절한 가격과 성능의 관성센서 선택이 가능하다. 선정된 관성센서가 설계치를 만족하는지를 검증하기 위하여 회전 테이블 실험을 진행하였다. 결과적으로 실험치가 설계된 불연속 측정치 검출 성능을 보수적으로 만족하는 검출 성능을 보였다.

We present a GPS-derived regional ionosphere model, which estimates Total Electron Content (TEC) in rectangular grids on the spherical shell over Korea. The GPS data from nine GPS stations were used. The pseudorange data were phase-leveled by a linear combination of pseudoranges and carrier phases. During a quiet day of solar activity, the regional ionosphere map indicated 30-45 Total Electron Content Unit (TECU) at the peak of the diurnal variation. In comparison with the Global Ionosphere Map of the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe, RMS differences were at the level of 4-5 TECU for five days.

GPS 반송파 위상관측값은 미지정수를 포함하고 있어 이를 효과적으로 해결하기 위해 분산-공분산 행렬의 비상관화 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 미지정수 비상관화 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이 방법은 분산-공분산 행렬을 유사한 크기의 작은 4개 블록으로 나눈 다음 각 블록을 독립적으로 비상관화 하는 것이다. 각 블록의 비상관화는 전 단계의 결과가 다음 단계의 과정에 영향을 받지 않도록 귀납적으로 이루어진다. 임의로 선정된 몇가지 수치적 예시에 의하면 이 방법은 기존의 다른 방법보다 좋거나 유사한 결과를 보여 주지만, 분산-공분산 행렬의 작은 블록에서 계산이 이루어지므로 본 방법의 계산 속도가 상대적으로 빠르다.

This paper describes the design and realization of full attitude system based on MEMS IMU and GPS carrier phase. The work can be divided into two parts: First, initial heading is determined by using two GPS receivers. And this paper discusses the usage of space geometry conditions to reduce the range of ambiguity search. The method presented in this paper was tested on the static. On the static condition, an accuracy better than 0.06 degrees for heading for 3.48m long baseline has been achieved. Integration of GPS and low cost MEMS IMU are used to realize the real-time heading attitude system. Second, level attitude (pitch and roll) is determined using the method of frequency-velocity for the feedback control. At the same time, the method using the attitude based on MEMS IMU to help determination of the range of ambiguity search is proposed. The results done on the sea show that an alternative means to provide real-time, cost-effective, accurate and reliable attitude information for attitude surveys. Though motivated by a big ships application, the design can be applied to other vehicles.

The Navstar Global Positioning System(GPS) is an advanced navigation satelite system for determination of position, velocity and time. It can provide three-dimensional positioning on a global basis, independent of weather, 24 hours per day. Test results show that the carrier phase and pseudorange corrections are suitable for a kinematic GPS system. Using these corrections are more effective than using raw GPS data, since fewer bits are required for transmission Additionally, the number of computation required at the rover is reduced when corrections, rather than raw measurement are transmitted
