Recently, with the emergence of autonomous vehicles and the increasing interest in safety, a variety of research has been being actively conducted to precisely estimate the position of a vehicle by fusing sensors. Previously, researches were conducted to determine the location of moving objects using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) and/or IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). However, precise positioning of a moving vehicle has lately been performed by fusing data obtained from various sensors, such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), on-board vehicle sensors, and cameras. This study is designed to enhance kinematic vehicle positioning performance by using feature-based recognition. Therefore, an analysis of the required precision of the observations obtained from the images has carried out in this study. Velocity and attitude observations, which are assumed to be obtained from images, were generated by simulation. Various magnitudes of errors were added to the generated velocities and attitudes. By applying these observations to the positioning algorithm, the effects of the additional velocity and attitude information on positioning accuracy in GNSS signal blockages were analyzed based on Kalman filter. The results have shown that yaw information with a precision smaller than 0.5 degrees should be used to improve existing positioning algorithms by more than 10%.

IGS (international gnss service)에서는 GNSS (global navigation satellite system) 위성의 항법메시지에 적용할 수 있는 RTS (real-time service) 궤도 및 시계 보정정보를 제공한다. 하지만, 인터넷 단절이 발생하면 RTS 값을 수신할 수 없으므로, 안정적인 PPP (precise point positioning)를 수행하기 위해 신호 단절이 발생한 경우 RTS 보정정보를 예측해서 사용해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 실시간으로 신호 단절 구간에서 LSTM (long short-term memory) 알고리듬으로 궤도 및 시계 보정정보를 예측하여 PPP를 진행하였다. 연산 처리 속도가 빠르지 않은 Raspberry Pi (RPI)에 LSTM 알고리듬을 구현하여 예측성능을 분석하였다. 다항식 예측기법과 비교하여 LSTM은 장기간 예측에서 우수한 성능을 보였다.

The present paper shows that beamforming algorithm such as Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) based on array antenna signal processing can have not only anti-jamming but also anti-spoofing characteristics. A beam pattern due to the beamforming algorithm strengthens received signal power as it is formed in the incident direction of desired signal. During the process, the effect of unnecessary signals such as spoofing signals can be reduced because the beam pattern reduces received signal power in the incident directions excluding the beam pattern-directed direction. In order to analyze the anti-spoofing effect due to the beamforming algorithm, a software-based simulation environment was configured. An arbitrary error was applied between incident direction of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite signal and steering vector direction of the beamforming algorithm to analyze the received signal power and required conditions were provided to see the anti-spoofing effect due to the beamforming algorithm. The used antenna was 7-element planar circular array and beam patterns were formed through the MVDR algorithm.

Time synchronization is crucial for ensuring the reliable operation of modern economic and social infrastructures. Techniques such as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based methods and Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer (TWSTFT) play key roles in precise time comparison and synchronization. TWSTFT, in particular, is recognized for its ability to achieve sub-nanosecond accuracy in time transfer, making it indispensable in fields such as satellite navigation. This paper proposes a comprehensive performance evaluation method for TWSTFT modems, emphasizing pre-validation in controlled environments to mitigate operational challenges. Using the proposed evaluation method, the study presents the standard deviation of RTT according to C/N₀ and compares it with the datasheet of a commercial TWSTFT modem. Through this approach, the aim of this study is to enhance the reliability and accuracy of TWSTFT-based time synchronization across diverse applications.

Time comparison is necessary for the verification and synchronization of the clock. Two-way satellite time and frequency (TWSTFT) is a method for time comparison over long distances. This method includes errors such as atmospheric effects, satellite motion, and environmental conditions. Ionospheric delay is one of the significant time comparison error in case of the carrier-phase TWSTFT (TWCP). Global Ionosphere Map (GIM) from Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) is used to compare with Bernese. Thin shell model of the ionosphere is used for the calculation of the Ionosphere Pierce Point (IPP) between stations and a GEO satellite. Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) and Koganei (KGNI) stations are used, and the analysis is conducted at 29 January 2017. Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) which is generated by Bernese at the latitude and longitude of the receiver by processing a Receiver Independent Exchange (RINEX) observation file that is generated from the receiver has demonstrated adequacy by showing similar variation trends with the CODE GIM. Bernese also has showed the capability to produce high resolution IONosphere map EXchange (IONEX) data compared to the CODE GIM. At each station IPP, VTEC difference in two stations showed absolute maximum 3.3 and 2.3 Total Electron Content Unit (TECU) in Bernese and GIM, respectively. The ionospheric delay of the TWCP has showed maximum 5.69 and 2.54 ps from Bernese and CODE GIM, respectively. Bernese could correct up to 6.29 ps in ionospheric delay rather than using CODE GIM. The peak-to-peak value of the ionospheric delay for TWCP in Bernese is about 10 ps, and this has to be eliminated to get high precision TWCP results. The $10^{-16}$ level uncertainty of atomic clock corresponds to 10 ps for 1 day averaging time, so time synchronization performance needs less than 10 ps. Current time synchronization of a satellite and ground station is about 2 ns level, but the smaller required performance, like less than 1 ns, the better. In this perspective, since the ionospheric delay could exceed over 100 ps in a long baseline different from this short baseline case, the elimination of the ionospheric delay is thought to be important for more high precision time synchronization of a satellite and ground station. This paper showed detailed method how to eliminate ionospheric delay for TWCP, and a specific case is applied by using this technique. Anyone could apply this method to establish high precision TWCP capability, and it is possible to use other software such as GIPSYOASIS and GPSTk. This TWCP could be applied in the high precision atomic clocks and used in the ground stations of the future domestic satellite navigation system.

One of the most significant errors in the pseudo-range measurement performance of GNSSes (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) is their multipath error for high-precision applications. Several schemes to mitigate this error have been studied. Most of them, however, have been focused on the GPS (Global Positioning System) L1 C/A (Coarse/Acquisition) signal that was designed in the 1970s and is still being used for civil navigation. Recently, several modernized signals that were especially conceived to more significantly mitigate multipath errors have been introduced, such as Time Multiplexed and Composite Binary Offset Carrier (TMBOC and CBOC, respectively) signals. Despite this advantage, however, a problem remains with the use of TMBOC and CBOC modulations: the ambiguity of BOC (Binary Offset Carrier)-modulated signal tracking. In this paper, a novel unambiguous multipath error mitigation scheme for these modernized signals is proposed. The proposed scheme has the same complexity as HRCs (High Resolution Correlators) but with low ambiguity. The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme outperformed or performed at par with the HRC in terms of their multipath error envelopes and running averages in the static and statistical channel models. The ranging error derived by the mean multipath error of the proposed scheme was below 1.8 meters in an urban area in the statistical channel model.

Clocks for time synchronization using radio signals such as global navigation satellite system (GNSS) may lose reference signals by intentional or unintentional jamming. This is called as holdover. When holdover occurs, a clock goes into free run in which synchronization performance is degraded considerably. In order to maintain the required precise time synchronization during holdover, accurate estimation on main parameters such as frequency offset and frequency drift is needed. It is necessary to implement an optimum filter through various simulation tests by creating clock noise in accordance with given specifications in order to estimate the main parameters accurately. In this paper, a method that creates clock noise in accordance with given specifications is described.

Jamming countermeasures are used to decrease or prevent the impact of intentional jamming applied to degrade the quality of information provided by a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. The maximum performance of jamming countermeasure can be obtained only when a proper technique is applied according to the type of jammer. This paper suggests a jamming identification technique for providing information regarding the type of jamming. The center frequency and bandwidth of jammer signal are inconsistent and may change according to time, and thus a spectral correlation function and wavelet coherence were considered in order to analyze the signal in the time and frequency space. Because the two characteristics derive different analysis results, two different identification techniques were suggested and the performances thereof were analyzed. Numerical results show that the two identification techniques have relative advantages and disadvantages as to time consumed and performance. The suggested methods can sufficiently identify the jammer before the GNSS receiver becomes inoperable because of jamming.

일반적인 조정계산에서는 독립변수의 오차는 없다고 가정하고 종속변수의 오차만을 고려하는 최소제곱해를 구한다. 그러나 지상측량에 의해 결정한 3차원 공간좌표나 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) 기반 추정좌표는 성분별로 독립적으로 결정되지 않으므로 모든 성분에 오차가 있을 뿐만 아니라 공분산도 존재한다. 따라서 좌표쌍을 이용한 평면 추정이나 좌표계 변환에서는 모든 성분의 오차를 고려하는 전최소제곱을 적용해야 한다. 이를 위한 다양한 모델이 존재하며, 특별한 제약조건을 제외하면 동등한 해를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 가우스-헬머트 모델(GHM: Gauss-Helmert Model) 기반 전최소제곱으로 VLBI 타겟이 형성하는 자취를 이용하여 평면의 법선벡터를 추정했으며, 지역좌표계를 세계측지계로 변환하는 계수 결정에도 적용했다. 평면방정식의 경우 기존 최소제곱 방법과 비교해서 법선벡터는 동일하지만 분산요소의 안정성과 타겟 위치에 따른 분산요소 특성을 명확히 확인할 수 있었다. 좌표계 변환계수는 가우스-헬머트 모델을 적용하면 변환 전후 두 좌표계에서 모두 잔차를 계산할 수 있으며, 기존 방식보다 잔차가 더 작아진다.
