In this paper, about a lightweight design that satisfies the performance of UHF-GPS Antenna used in autonomous underwater vehicle is proposed. Structural analysis, watertight external pressure test and non-destructive testing used in the design process are decided in consideration of structural safety for operating external forces in the underwater environment. First, the material of radome is selected for the performance of the UHF-GPS Antenna for communication with the carrier on the underwater operation in consideration of the 20 bar pressure generated. And the material of radome as PA-GF is selected by conducting electromagnetic field analysis and structural analysis and by considering high strength, rigidity and high dielectric constant. Electromagnetic field analysis and structural analysis by the thickness of radome are additionally performed in order to satisfy the required weight of UHF-GPS antenna. After selecting the final model, its structural safety is verified through watertight external pressure test and non-destructive testing.

This paper introduces test configuration and operation method for the GPS receiver system under electromagnetic test of KSLV-I upper-stage as a system qualification level and describes performance analysis of the test results. The GPS receiver system has clearly passed the electromagnetic test specifications of component level which is based on MIL-STD-461E through several design changes. Under electromagnetic test as a system qualification level, the GPS receiver system normally operates in spite of electromagnetic interferences with other systems. Performance of the GPS receiver system is also, not degraded on the condition of electromagnetic field incidence and electrostatic discharge. The KSLV-I GPS receiver system, as a result, is verified on the electromagnetic condition of the KSLV-I upper-stage.

The expected positioning accuracies of civil users utilizing modernized GPS and Galileo are derived using the error analysis in this paper. Since, in general, the performance of DLL, PLL and FLL is proportional to chip lengths and wavelengths, the positioning accuracies from various measurements of modernized GPS and Galileo are derived as function of chip length and wavelength. These results are compared with that from GPS Ll measurement. In absolute positioning, compared to GPS C/A code only case, more than 17 times performance improvement is expected when all civil code signals of modernized GPS and Galileo (L1, L2, L5, E1, E5A and E5B) are used. In relative positioning, compared to GPS L1 carrier phase only case, more than 2 times performance improvement is expected when all civil signals of modernized GPS and Calileo are used. Furthermore, the relationship between GDOP and RGDOP in single frequency case is expanded to general case where multiple frequencies and both code and carrier phase measurements are used.

For a GPS antenna to normally receive GPS satellite signals during full flight mission of a satellite launch vehicle, it should be installed on skin of the vehicle. The surface of a launch vehicle is drastically heated up due to aerodynamic heating effect during flight, so that the GPS antenna mounted on surface of the launch vehicle is directly exposed to extremely hot temperature environment. Hot temperature test specification of the GPS antenna, therefore, is severer than inner components. This paper describes that procedures and results of performance analysis of the GPS antenna for KSLV-I under hot temperature environment. The GPS antenna was not deformed physically and inner LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) operated normally without performance degradation.

The Global Positioning System (GPS), which has various military and commercial applications, is designed to estimate the location of the specific user or object. In order to accurately estimate the location, GPS requires at least four satellite signals. The GPS receiver operates on extremely low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment and it may suffer from various interference signals with the extremely high power. In this paper, we introduce a blind adaptive receiver based on the modified despreader, which suppress interference signals and detect GPS signals of interest without requiring explicit angle-of-arrival (AOA) information. We, also, provide the mathematical analysis for the signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) of the modified despeader beamformer output. A representative computer simulation example is presented to illustrate the interference suppression performance of the considered GPS receiver and mathematical analysis of the SINR.

This study presents the detailed methods for university facilities mapping using GPS and totalstation. In the control survey by GPS network adjustment, the level of significance for the height value of fourth order triangulation stations was estimated about loom. The accuracy analysis of height determination by totalstation for the traverse points showed that the RMSE came out 9mm to the basis of direct leveling, so it indicated that trigonometric leveling by totalstation was correct comparatively. For GPS/RTK method, the result of accuracy analysis about traverse points showed that the RMSE came out 33㎜ in horizontal location to the basis of totalstation's outcome and 15㎜ in height value to the basis of direct leveling. In the construction survey, GPS/RTK surveying is quicker and more economical than totalstation surveying in the feasible areas of GPS surveying, but there were many impossible areas lot GPS/RTK surveying by the obstacles like a building.

For its synergistic relationship, an integrated SDINS/GPS system has been adopted in many navigation areas. As an application of SDINS/GPS integration, the in-flight alignment process of a SDINS utilizing GPS carrier phase measurements is introduced and analyzed via an observability analysis using nul1 space method. A measurement model of double-differenced GPS carrier phase measurements is newly derived in order to be used with a SDINS error model. Also, conditions for determining the complete observability of a SDINS/GPS system are suggested and proved. Consequently, it is shown that the system is not completely observable in case of one basel me. With one baseline aligned with y-axis of body frame, pitch error and x-axis accelerometer bias are unobservable states. Also shown is that al1 states are completely observable when sequential maneuver is performed. Above results are confirmed by a covariance analysis.

This paper is concerned with the experimental analysis of EOW(End-of-Week) rollover. The GPS EOW Rollover happens every 20 years. Because GPS time, counted in weeks, started counting Jan. 6, 1980, the GPS week will rollover from week 1023 to 0000 at midnight between Aug. 21 and 22. This is significant because it is the first EOW rollover since the GPS constellation was established and it could be interpreted as an invalid date in receivers that were not designed to meet GPS specification. We analyzed GPS data of the noncompliant receivers and the compliant receiver. It was concluded that all receivers had not serious problems during or after the rollover.

This study aims to suggest efficient setting up of GPS (Global Positioning System) for cadastral surveying. In order to perform it effectively, worldly used modern surveying technology GPS introduced. In a practical analysis, GPS observation had been performed in the research area and the results had been compared and analysed with the results of Total Station. As a results, it is shown that GPS is more efficient rather than current surveying method in terms of time, cost and economy. The results of GPS surveying were included in the scope of error tolerance, being accepted by cadastral laws, showing high accuracy of GPS surveying method. With the results of analysis, how to application of GPS for cadastral surveying was suggested.
