In this paper, an efficient signal tracking method to simultaneously track both GPS L1 C/A and Galileo E1B CBOC(6,1,1/11) using a low cost GPU is proposed. In the existing method that each GNSS signal is processed within 1 ms, more than 2 ms processing time is required in GPU to process 4 ms CBOC signal. It means that real time operation is possible if only Galileo E1B CBOC signal is concerned. But when both GPS C/A and Galileo CBOC is required, it cannot process GPS C/A signal in real time. To process 1 ms GPS C/A and 4 ms Galileo CBOC signal in real time, 4 ms Galileo CBOC signal is divided into 4 by 1 ms signal block in the proposed method. Specially, a buffer that simultaneously manages 1 ms and 4 ms signals is designed. In addition, a module that accumulates the 1 ms correlation value of the Galileo CBOC by 4 ms and passes it to the PLL and DLL is implemented. The operation and performance are evaluated with real measurements in the GPU based SDR. The experimental results show that tracking of more than 16 satellites of GPS C/A and Galileo E1B is possible using the proposed method.

GPS 모듈을 탑재한 모바일 단말기는 꾸준히 증가하고 있으나 코드의사거리를 측위에 사용하므로 반송파 위상을 사용하는 GPS 수신기에 비해 정확도가 낮다. 특히 다중경로신호는 반송파 위상 수신기에 비해 측위 결과에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치므로 다중경로신호를 검출하여 측위에서 제거하는 방안이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 다중경로신호의 검출을 위해 위성의 신호세기를 이용하는 방법에 대해 초기 분석을 수행하였다. 개활지환경에서 GPS 위성의 고도각이 증가함에 따라 신호세기가 증가하는 것이 확인되었고, 주변에 장애물이 있는 지역에서는 시선방향에 차폐요소가 있는 위성의 신호세기가 감쇄되어 기록되는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 현상이 GPS 위성이 동일 궤도를 지날 때에도 반복되어 발생하는지 확인하기 위해 위성의 재현시간을 적용하여 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 GPS 위성 신호세기 변동 특성은 위성이 궤도상의 동일 위치를 지날 때에도 거의 완벽하게 재현되었고, 이 현상이 일시적인 현상이 아니라 관측 환경에 의해 거의 완벽히 재현되는 결과임을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 신호세기를 이용한 다중경로신호의 검출이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The previous acquisition method of GPS receiver for reference station adopts not only the coherent integration method but also the non-coherent integration method in order to enhance sensitivity under noisy environment. However, under noisy environment, the previous GPS signal acquisition method causes the non-coherent integration loss which is a major factor among losses that can be caused during GPS signal acquisition. The non-coherent integration loss also increases with the strength of the received noise. This paper has intention of analyzing the performance of the GPS signal acquisition method proposed to effectively enhance sensitivity of DGPS reference receiver under noisy environment. This paper presents that the proposed GPS signal acquisition method suppresses the non-coherent integration loss through post-processing simulation. Furthermore, with regard to the mean acquisition time, it is shown that the number of search cells of the proposed GPS signal acquisition method is much fewer than that of the previous GPS signal acquisition method.

The software GPS receivers based on the SDR technology provide the ability to easily adapt the other signal processing algorithms without changing or modifying the hardware of the GPS receiver. However, it is difficult to implement the software GPS receivers using a commercial processor because of the heavy computational burden for processing the GPS signals in real-time. This paper proposes an efficient GPS signal processing scheme to reduce the computational burden for processing the GPS signals in the software GPS receiver, which uses a fundamental notion compressing the replica signals and the encoded look-up table method to generate correlation values between GPS signals and replica signals. In this paper, it is explained that the computational burden of the proposed scheme is much smaller than that of the typical GPS signal processing scheme. Finally, the processing time of the proposed scheme is compared with that of the typical scheme, and the improvement in the aspect of the computational burden is also shown.

본 논문은 ETRI에서 개발한 GPS RF 신호생성기와 상용수신기인 U-Blox 수신기를 이용하여 기만신호의 공격을 완화하는 방법에 대하여 분석하였다. 기만신호는 대상 수신기의 코드 및 반송파 성분의 변이를 이용하여 대상수신기가 비정상적인 위치를 생성하도록 하는 것이다. 우리는 이러한 기만신호 공격에 따른 수신기에서의 신호세기 및 항법해 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 기만신호를 제거하기 위하여 기만신호와 역위상 코드를 가지는 신호를 고려하였다. GPS RF 신호생성기를 이용하여 정상적인 GPS 신호, 기만신호, 기만신호와 역위상을 가지는 항기만신호를 생성하였고 기만신호와 항기만신호간의 코드 위상차이에 따른 기만신호 공격의 영향을 수신기를 통하여 확인하였다. 기만 신호의 코드 지연과 동일한 코드지연의 신호를 생성할 경우 기만신호가 상쇄되는 것을 확인하였다.

For sensitivity enhancement, the general assisted-GPS acquisition method adopts not only the coherent accumulation technique but also the non-coherent accumulation technique since the long coherent accumulation period increases the number of frequency search cells. But the non-coherent accumulation technique causes tile squaring loss, which is a dominant factor among the acquisition losses of assisted GPS dealing with weak GPS signals. This paper derives the squaring loss of the previous assisted-GPS acquisition method and proposes an assisted-GPS acquisition method for solving the problem of squaring loss in weak signal environment. In this paper, it is explained that the proposed assisted-GPS acquisition method prevents the squaring loss using a coupled coherent accumulation technique and the number of search cells of the proposed assisted-GPS acquisition method is much smaller than that of the previous assisted-GPS acquisition method. Finally, through the simulation by the GPS simulator, the acquisition success rate of the proposed assisted-GPS acquisition method is compared with that of the previous assisted-GPS acquisition method and the acquisition improvements are shown in weak signal environment.

This paper proposes a signal merging algorithm to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a GPS correlator output to estimate the roll angle of a rotating vehicle in a weak GPS signal environment. Rotation Locked Loop (RLL) algorithm is used to estimate a roll angle using the characteristics that the power of the GPS signal measured at the receiver of a rotating vehicle varies periodically. First, delay times are calculated to synchronize GPS signals using satellites' and receiver's positions and the rotation frequency of a vehicle, and then correlator outputs are delayed in time and merged with each other, resulting in the increase of an SNR in a correlator output. Finally, simulations are conducted and the performance of the proposed algorithm is validated.

In this paper, a low-cost, flexible GPS simulator based on USRP is designed as a general-purpose software wireless front-end. The simulator consists of a software GPS signal generator and a USRP-based RF transmitter. The simulator supports various scenarios including specified reception time, quantization bit level, I/Q data types, IF frequency, sampling frequency, SNR, ionospheric delay and user dynamics. The generated GPS RF signal is verified using the spectrum analyzer and off-the-shelf GNSS receivers such as U-blox M8T. The experimental results shows that the difference between generated and real live signal is ignorable. It is expected that designed GPS simulator can be used to GNSS signal design, receiver design and signal processing algorithms such as anti-jamming.

In this paper, an adaptive signal tracking loop for a GPS L1/L2C/L5 receiver is designed. The design parameters is adjusted according to the receiver's operating conditions such as the signal strength and the receiver dynamics by using the different characteristics of GPS L1, L2C and L5 signal. Simulation results show that the tracking accuracy of the proposed signal tracking loop is better than those of L1, L2C and L5 only signal tracking loop.
