The Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) is the Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) under development in Korea. KASS navigation service support navigation Safety of Life (SoL) service. KASS signal provides corrections to Global Positioning System (GPS) data received from KASS Reference Stations (KRS) and is broadcast form Geostationary Earth Orbiting (GEO) satellites to KASS users and is used by GPS/SBAS user equipment to improve the accuracy, availability, continuity and integrity of the navigation solution. Seven KRS's collect the satellite data and send them to the KASS Processing Stations (KPS) for the generation of the corrections and the monitoring the integrity. For performing its computation the KPS needs to know accurate and reliable KRS antennas coordinates. These coordinates are provided as configuration parameters to the KPS. This means that the reference frame in which the KPS work is the one represented by the set of coordinates provided as input. Therefore, the activity to maintain the accuracy of the KRS antenna coordinates is necessary, knowing that coordinates can evolve due to earth plates movements or earthquakes. In this paper, we analyzed the geodetic survey results for KRS antenna coordinates from Site Acceptance Test (SAT) #1 in December 2020 to August 2022. In the future, it is expected that these activities and planning for KRS coordinates maintenance will be produced and provided to KASS system operators for KPS configuration updates during the KASS lifetime of 15 years. Through these maintenance activities, it is expected that monitoring and analysis of unpredictable events such as earthquakes and seism will be possible in the future.

For a GNSS receiver's robustness against RFI and the high accuracy of navigation solution in GNSS, interference source detection and mitigation are needed. In this paper, an adaptive lattice IIR notch filter is employed to track single-tone continuous wave and swept continuous wave interference signals, and an interference detection method is proposed. Furthermore, this paper presents interference source characterization algorithm using multiple ground stations' interference detection results. The measurement of the signal powers from each ground station is used to build weighting factors to estimate the type of the interference. The performance of interference detection algorithm is simulated for scenarios of GPS signal in the presence of single-tone continuous wave interference and swept continuous wave interference.

Fields of high-precision positioning applications are growing fast across the mass market worldwide. Accordingly, the industry is focusing on developing methods of applying State-Space Representation (SSR) corrections on low-cost GNSS receivers. Among SSR correction types, this paper analyzes Safe Position Augmentation for Real Time Navigation (SPARTN) messages being offered by the SAfe and Precise CORrection DAta (SAPCORDA) company and validates positioning algorithms based on them. The first part of this paper introduces the SPARTN format in detail. Then, procedures on how to apply Basic-Precision Atmosphere Correction (BPAC) and High-Precision Atmosphere Correction (HPAC) messages are described. BPAC and HPAC messages are used for correcting satellite clock errors, satellite orbit errors, satellite signal biases and also ionospheric and tropospheric delays. Accuracies of positioning algorithms utilizing SPARTN messages were validated with two types of positioning strategies: Code-PPP using GPS pseudorange measurements and PPP-RTK including carrier phase measurements. In these performance checkups, only single-frequency measurements have been used and integer ambiguities were estimated as float numbers instead of fixed integers. The result shows that, with BPAC and HPAC corrections, the horizontal accuracy is 46% and 63% higher, respectively, compared to that obtained without application of SPARTN corrections. Also, the average horizontal and vertical RMSE values with HPAC are 17 cm and 27 cm, respectively.

본 연구는 GPS 보조에 의한 항공삼각측량 및 자동차량항법장치 등과 같은 고정밀 측량에서 주요 오차 원인이 되고 있는 다중경로 오차를 검출하고 이를 요구 정확도로 축소시키는데 그 목적이 있다. 수신점의 다중 수신기를 고정한 후 동적 수신기가 연속적으로 이동할 때, 망조정시 smoothed코드 측정과 순수 코드 측정을 실행하여 동적수신기에 대한 단차분법 코드파 위치 해석에서 3차원 RMS 오차가 약 30% 축소됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 망조정들은 다중 수신점에서 실행되었지만, 위치결정은 항상 동적 수신기와 하나의 기준 수신점 사이의 단차분법에 의해 실행된다는 것에 근거한 것이고, 서로 매우 근접한 수신기로부터 이중차를 이용하여 대기 오차를 포함한 모든 상관성 오차를 상당히 축소할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 다른 처리 기법들과 조합하여 사용할 있으리라 생각된다.

GPS를 항공기의 항법 장치로 사용하게 되면 기술적, 경제적인 면에서 많은 이익을 얻을 수 있다. 그런데 항공기는 어떤 시스템보다도 안전이 중요한 시스템이므로 개발된 항법 장치를 사용하기에 앞서 항법해의 신뢰성을 확보하는 것이 우선되어야 한다. 그에 따라 본 논문에서는 항공기 착륙 시에 사용하게 될 DGPS를 이용해서 측정치의 고장을 검출하고 고장이 검출된 측정치를 제거하는 시스템을 구현하고자 하였다. 또한 구현된 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해 여러 가지 상황에 대해서 실제 데이터를 사용하여 실험을 실시하였고, 그 결과 일부 구간을 제외하고는 고장의 검출 및 제거가 잘 이루어지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 하지만 좀 더 완벽한 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해서는 측정치의 오차에 대한 분석, 다른 장치들과의 통합을 통한 가용성 확보 등에 대한 연구가 앞으로 많이 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다.

With the rapid development of spatial infrastructure in US, Europe, Japan, China and India, there is no doubt that the next generation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) will improve the integrity, accuracy, reliability and availability of the position solution. GNSS is becoming an essential element of personal, commercial and public infrastructure and consequently part of our daily lives. However, the applicability of GPS in supporting a range of location-sensitive applications such as location based services in an urban environment is severely curtailed by the interference of the 3D urban settings. To characterize and gain in-depth understanding of such interferences and to be able to provide location-based optimization alternatives, a high-fidelity 3D urban model of Melbourne CBD built with ArcGIS and large scale high-resolution spatial data sets is used in this study to support a comprehensive simulation of current and future GNSS signal performance, in terms of signal continuity, availability, strength, geometry, positioning accuracy and reliability based on a number of scenarios. The design, structure and major components of the simulator are outlined. Useful time-stamped spatial patterns of the signal performance over the experimental urban area have been revealed which are valuable for supporting location based services applications, such as emergency responses, the optimization of wireless communication infrastructures and vehicle navigation services.

본 논문에서는 기만신호의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 기만신호의 코드지연에 따른 코드 및 반송파 추적에 대한 결과를 분석하였다. 기만신호의 특성 및 방어 방법에 대한 조사를 통하여 현재 GPS 신호와 동기를 유지할 수 있는 중급기만을 고려하여 기만신호생성기를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 기만신호생성기에서 생성한 정상신호 및 기만신호가 합성된 신호를 소프트웨어 수신기를 통하여 신호처리를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 코드추적루프(DLL) 및 위상추적루프(PLL)의 출력값을 비교분석하여 기만신호의 영향을 파악하였으며 또한 기만신호 인가 시 잘못된 의사거리에 따른 항법해의 영향을 분석하였다. 결과적으로 기만신호의 영향은 신호추적 단계에서는 1칩 이내의 코드지연을 갖는 기만신호의 영향을 받으며 신호획득에서는 코드 지연에 상관없이 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다.

Position of surface objects can be fixed in many ways. The most popular radionavigational systems, including satellite systems, make possible obtaining nearly continuous and very precise ship's position. However, under the water application of radionavigational systems is impossible. Underwater navigation requires other tools and solutions then these encountered in surface and air navigation. In underwater environment vehicles and submarines, operate that have to possess alternative navigational systems. Underwater vehicles, in order to perform their tasks require accurate information about their own, current position. At present, they are equipped with inertial navigational systems (INS). Accuracy of INS is very high but in relatively short periods. Position error is directly proportional to time of working of the system. The basic feature of INS is its autonomy and passivity. This characteristic mainly decides that INS is broadly used on submarines and other underwater vehicles. However, due to previously mentioned shortcoming i.e. gradually increasing position error, periodical calibration of the system is necessary. The simplest calibration method is surface or nearly surface application of GPS system. Another solution, which does not require interruption of performed task and emergence on the surface, is application of comparative navigation technique. Information about surrounding environment of the ship, obtained e.g. by means sonic depth finder or board sonar, and comparing it with accessible pattern can be used in order to fix ship's position. The article presents a structure and a description of working of underwater vehicle navigation system simulator. The simulator works on the basis of comparative navigation methods which exploit in turn digital images of echograms and sonograms. The additional option of the simulator is ability to robust estimation of measurements. One can do it in order to increase accuracy of position fixed with comparative navigation methods application. The simulator can be a basis to build future underwater navigation system.
