Generally, underwater unmanned vehicle have adopted an inertial navigation system (INS), dead reckoning (DR), acoustic navigation and geophysical navigation techniques as the navigation method because GPS does not work in deep underwater environment. Even if the tactical inertial sensor can provide very detail measurement during long operation time, it is not suitable to use the tactical inertial sensor for small size and low cost UUV because the tactical inertial sensor is expensive and large. One alternative to INS is attitude heading reference system (AHRS) with the micro-machined electro mechanical system (MEMS) inertial sensor because of MEMS inertial sensor's small size and low power requirement. A cost effective and small size attitude heading reference system (AHRS) which incorporates measurements from 3-axis micro-machined electro mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscopes, accelerometers, and 3-axis magnetometers has been developed to provide a complete attitude solution for UUV. The AHRS based MEMS overcome many problems that have inhibited the adoption of inertial system for small UUV such as cost, size and power consumption. Several evaluation experiments were carried out for the validation of the developed AHRS's function and these experiments results are presented. Experiments results prove the fact that the developed MEMS AHRS satisfied the required specification.

GPS(Global Positioning System)를 이용한 측위는 현재 가장 널리 쓰이는 측위 기법이다. 그러나 GPS 위치 측정시 일반 사용자는 전리층과 대류권의 영향으로 인해 항법이나 측위 등의 응용분야에서 만족할 만한 정확도를 얻을 수 없다. DGPS(Differential Global Positioning System)는 이러한 제약들을 해결할 수 있는 방법으로써, 이는 공통 오차를 제거하여 높은 정확도를 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 DGPS를 사용한 경우에도 정밀 측위에 있어서는 기준점으로부터의 거리 제한과 실시간 데이터 처리가 힘든 문제점을 내재하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 장기선 DGPS를 위한 실시간 보정신호 전송방법에 관하여 논한다. 이는 데이터 전송거리가 제한되는 종래의 무선 모뎀 방법에서의 문제를 해결하기 위하여 TCP와 UDP 또는 IP 프로토콜로 구성되는 TCP/IP 프로토콜 스택을 이용함으로써 어느 곳이나 RTK-GPS 위치 정보 데이터의 전송을 가능하게 한다.

DGPS (differential GPS) 방식의 위치해 계산 방식은 기준국 수신기와 동적 수신기와의 의사거리 보정정보 (PRC; pseudo-range correction) 실시간 통신을 통해서 위치해를 계산하는 방식을 말한다. 실제 동적으로 움직이는 수신기에서는 기준국 수신기와의 통신이 단절되어 PRC 실시간 통신이 단절되는 상황이 발생한다. 논문에서는 DGPS 방식의 위치해 계산방식에서 PRC를 받는 실시간 상황 중간에서수신기에 의사거리보정 정보전송이 끊긴 상황을 가정하여, 수신기에서 기존에 수신했던 PRC 정보를 사용하여 가상의 PRC 모델을 기계학습 알고리즘을 통해 실시간 생성하는 predict DGPS를 제안한다. predict DGPS 방식을 검증하기 위해 고정되어있는 기준국의 수신기에서 실제 PRC와 본 논문에서 제안 한가상의 PRC를 적용하여 위치해를 비교, 분석하였다. 또한 실제 도로에서 PRC 통신이 단절된 시나리오를 가정하여, predict DGPS 방식을 적용한 위치해 계산 방식이 기존 방식의 위치해 계산과 비교하여 향상된 위치해를 보여 줄수 있음을 보였다.

The relationship between the observable noise model and the satellite elevation angle can be modeled quite well by an exponential function.[Jin, 1996] Noise size and dependence on the elevation angle are, however, different for each observation and receiver type. Therefore, the coefficient determination of this model is an issue, and various methods including PR-CP, single difference, and time difference have been suggested. The limitations of them are difficulty to model the carrier phase noise and to eliminate bias. To overcome these disadvantages for using Jin's model, we suggest zero baseline double difference (DD) and noise sorting algorithm. Data DD technique in zero baseline is useful to eliminate all the troublesome GPS biases, and the remaining error is the sum of GPS measurement noises from two satellites. These DD residuals for hours should be sorted by the combination of satellite elevation angles, and then variance value of the residual for each combination can be estimated. Using these values, we construct an over-determined linear equation whose solution is a set of noise variance for each satellite elevation angle. With 24hr Trimble 4000ssi data, we easily worked out the coefficients of the noise model not only for pseudorange but also for carrier phase. We estimated the standard deviation of the measurement DD using our model, and plotted 1 and 3 sigma lines for every epoch to verify the representation of the residual error. 63.3% of pseudorange residual and 65.9% of phase error did not exceed the 1 sigma lines. Additionally, 99.2% and 99.5% of them lied within 3sigma line. These figures prove that the Gaussian property of measurement noise, and that the suggested model by our algorithm corresponds to the observable noise information.

In airborne gravimetry, there are two data streams. One is the specific force measured by an air/sea gravimeter or accelerometers, the other is kinematic acceleration measured by DGPS. And the difference of them provides the gravity disturbance information. To satisfy the requirement of most applications, an accuracy of 1mGal $(1mCal=10^{-5}m/s^{2})$ with a spatial resolution of 1km is the aim of current airborne gravimetry. There are two different methods to derive the kinematic acceleration. The generally used method is to differentiate the position twice, and the position can be calculated by commercial DGPS software. The main defect of this method is that integer ambiguities need to be fixed to get the precise position solution, but it's not a trivial thing for long base line. And to fix integer ambiguities, the noisier iono-free measurement is used. When differentiation is applied, noise is amplified and will influence the accuracy of acceleration. The other method is to get carrier phase acceleration by differentiate the carrier phase first, and then using the acceleration of GPS satellite to derive the vehicle acceleration. The main advantages include that fixing integer ambiguities is not needed anymore, position can be relaxed to about 10 meters, and smoother acceleration can be got since iono-free measurement is not needed. In some literatures, it's considered that the dynamic performance of the second method is inferior to that of the first. Through analysis, it is found that the performance degradation in dynamic environment results from the simplification of the GPS carrier phase observable model. And an iterative algorithm is presented to compensate the model error. Using a dynamic GPS data from an aeromagnetic survey, the importance of this compensation is showed at last.

In this paper, we analysis the performance of position estimation when adopting Dynamic TDMA(DTDMA) in JTIDS RelNav. JTIDS RelNav is widely understood as a new navigation solution possibly capable to support or take cover of the role of conventional systems including INS or GPS no matter if they are working well or not. By maximizing the efficiency of radio resource management in MAC(Medium Access Control) layer we enhance the system performance without any replacement of hardware.

In recent years, research has been actively conducted on the navigation in an indoor environment where Global Navigation Satellite System signals are unavailable. Among them, a study performed indoor navigation by integrating pseudolite carrier and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor. However, in this case, there was no solution for the cycle slip occurring in the carrier. In another study, cycle slip detection and compensation were performed by integrating Global Positioning System (GPS) and IMU in an outdoor environment. However, in an indoor environment, cycle slip occurs more easily and frequently, and thus the occurrence of half cycle slip also increases. Accordingly, cycle slip detection based on 1 cycle unit has limitations. Therefore, in the present study, the aforementioned problems were resolved by performing indoor navigation through the integration of pseudolite and ultra-low-cost IMU embedded in a smartphone and by performing half cycle slip detection and compensation based on this. In addition, it was verified through the actual implementation of real-time navigation.

최근 GPS 등 위성측위시스템의 동향은 SA해제로 GPS code 만에 의한 절대측위 정밀도가 향상되었고 SA에 비해 상대적으로 작은 영향을 주었던 오차요인 등에 대한 보정 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 국가별 GPS 상시 관측소의 증설 및 확장 경향과 세계 GPS 관측망(IGS)에 연계한 국가 GPS 관측망의 효율적인 운용 및 응용에 관심이 모아지고 있는데 독일, 일본, 스위스 등은 GPS 상시관측망을 활용한 가상기준점 서비스를 실용화한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 GPS 상시관측소의 효율적 활용에 의한 종합적 위성 측위 서비스의 기대에 부응하며 서비스의 조기 실현을 도모할 수 있도록 시스템의 구성, 운영 및 활용면에서 최적화 방안을 제시함에 기본 목표를 두었다. 이를 위해 가상기준점 망을 위한 국내의 기본 인프라(GPS 상시관측소, 통신 및 이용자의 관심 기대) 현황을 분석하고 국내외 운영 사례를 조사/분석하여 국내에 가상기준점 운용 시스템의 구성 시 시스템 구성면의 최적화는 물론 시스템의 운영, 교육 및 홍보와 관련 법규의 제도화 방안을 제시하여 연계된 시범사업의 창출과 국내 GPS 상시관측망을 이용한 종합적 측위 서비스 시스템의 실현을 도모한다. GPS 상시관측소를 활용하는 가상기준점연구를 국가차원의 실시간 DGPS/PDGPS 운영체계로 발전시킨다면 장차, 각종 지형정보의 구축은 물론 항법분야, ITS 및 일상생활 응용(LBS)에 활력소로서 국가의 펌웨어적 SOC가 될 것으로 기대된다.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal gets delayed as it goes through the troposphere before reaching the GNSS antenna. Various tropospheric models are being used to correct the tropospheric delay. In this study, we compared effectiveness of two popular troposphere correction models: Global Pressure and Temperature (GPT) and Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS). One-year data from a particular site was chosen as the test case. Tropospheric delays were computed using the GPT and SBAS models and compared with the International GNSS Service tropospheric product. The bias of SBAS model computations was 3.4 cm, which is four times lower than that of the GPT model. The cause of higher biases observed in the GPT model is the fact that one cannot get wet delays from the model. If SBAS-based wet delays are added to the hydrostatic delays computed using the GPT model, then the accuracy is similar to that of the full SBAS model. From this study, one can conclude that it is better to use the SBAS model than to use the GPT model in the standard code-pseudorange data processing.

In this paper, the linearly interpolated PRC(Pseudo Range Correction) regenerating algorithm was applied to improve the DGPS(Differential Global Positioning System) positioning accuracy at user's spot by using the various PRC information obtained from multi-DGPS reference stations. The PRC information of each GPS satellite is not varying rapidly; it is possible to assume that the variation of PRC information of each GPS satellite is linear. So the linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm can be applied to improve the DGPS positioning accuracy at user's spot by using the various PRC information obtained from multi-DGPS reference stations. To test the performance of the linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm, maritime DGPS reference stations' PRC data was used in RTCM format. 11 maritime DGPS reference stations are in service providing DGPS information to public since 1999. Two set of 3 DGPS reference stations are selected to compare the performance of the linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm. The DGPS positioning accuracy was dramatically improved about 40%. Linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm adopted multi-channel DGPS receiver will be developed in near future.
