The necessity for the precise time synchronization of measurement data from multiple sensors is widely recognized in the field of global positioning system/inertial navigation system (GPS/INS) integration. Having precise time synchronization is critical for achieving high data fusion performance. The limitations and advantages of various time synchronization scenarios and existing solutions are investigated in this paper. A criterion for evaluating synchronization accuracy requirements is derived on the basis of a comparison of the Kalman filter innovation series and the platform dynamics. An innovative time synchronization solution using a counter and two latching registers is proposed. The proposed solution has been implemented with off-the-shelf components and tested. The resolution and accuracy analysis shows that the proposed solution can achieve a time synchronization accuracy of 0.1 ms if INS can provide a hard-wired timing signal. A synchronization accuracy of 2 ms was achieved when the test system was used to synchronize a low-grade micro-electromechanical inertial measurement unit (IMU), which has only an RS-232 data output interface.

반송파 기반 위성항법 보강시스템은 GNSS(global navigation satellite system) 측정치 오차를 보상하는 방식에 따라 OSR(observation space representation)과 SSR(state space representation)으로 구분된다. 대표적인 OSR 기반 보강시스템인 N-RTK(network real time kinematics)는 약 100 km 수준의 서비스 영역 내에서 cm급 측위 정확도를 확보할 수 있는 시스템이지만, 일반적으로 사용자-인프라 간 양방향 통신 방식에 의해 서비스가 구현된다. 이러한 특징으로 인해 N-RTK를 활용한 위성 기반 cm급 전국토 정밀 측위 서비스 구축은 현실적으로 많은 제약이 따른다. 반면, SSR 보강시스템은 서비스 영역 내 모든 사용자에게 동일한 보정정보를 제공하기 때문에 단방향 서비스에 적합하고, 각 보정정보의 전송주기를 유동적으로 조절할 수 있으므로 위성 기반 광역 정밀 보정정보 방송 서비스에 적합하다. 이러한 장점으로 인해 위성항법시스템을 보유한 각국은 SSR 보정정보 기반의 PPP(precise point positioning)/PPP-RTK 정밀 측위 서비스 구축에 박차를 가하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 위성 기반 SSR 보정정보 방송 서비스들의 구성 및 특징, 측위 성능 분석을 통해 PPP/PPP-RTK 서비스 동향과 정밀 측위 현황을 파악하고자 한다.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning has been widely used in geodesy, surveying, and navigation fields. RTK can benefit enormously from the integration of multi-GNSS. In this study, we develop a GPS/BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) RTK integration algorithm for long baselines ranging from 128 km to 335 km in South Korea. The positioning performance with GPS/BDS RTK, GPS-only RTK, and BDS-only RTK is compared in terms of the positioning accuracy. An improvement of positioning accuracy over long baselines can be found with GPS/BDS RTK compared with that of GPS-only RTK and that of BDS-only RTK. The positioning accuracy of GPS/BDS RTK is better than 2 cm in the horizontal direction and better than 5 cm in the vertical direction. A lower Relative Dilution of Precision (RDOP) value with GPS/BDS integration can obtain a better positional precision for long baseline RTK positioning.

세계적으로 GNSS (global navigation satellite system)는 선진국에서 개발 및 운용 중에 있다. 가장 대표적인 시스템인 GPS (global positioning system)을 시작으로 현재 중국의 Beidou가 빠르게 발전하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 빠르게 변화하는 Beidou의 활용을 위해 현재 시점의 한국지역에서 Beidou 위성의 가시성 분석을 수행한다. 이렇게 수행되는 분석에서 안정적으로 서비스되고 있는 GPS와 비교하며 진행하도록 한다. 가시성분석은 mask angle (저앙각 위성 배제 각도)에 따른 결과, skyplot (사용자 위치에서 위성의 위치를 가시적으로 표현하기 위한 그림)을 통한 결과를 수행하였다. 가시성 분석을 통해 한국지역에서 GPS위성에 비해 Beidou 위성의 고앙각 배치가 많아지는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 또한 고앙각 배치가 많아지는 것의 효과를 확인하기 위해 GPS와 Beidou의 가용성 및 위치정확도 분석을 수행한다. 수행 결과에 따라 한국지역에서 고앙각 위성을 활용 할 시 GPS보다 Beidou가 더 효과적일 것으로 확인된다.

A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which is typically exemplified by the Global Positioning System (GPS), employs a open signal structure so it is vulnerable to spoofing electronic attack using a similar malicious signal with that used in the GPS. It is necessary to require a spoofing test evaluation environment to check the risk of spoofing attack and evaluate the performance of a newly developed anti-spoofing technique against spoofing attacks. The present paper proposed a simulation method of spoofing environment based on simulator that can be implementable in a test room and analyzed the spoofing simulation performance using commercial GPS receivers. The implemented spoofing simulation system ran synchronized two GPS simulator modules in a single scenario to generate both of spoofing and GPS signals simultaneously. Because the signals are generated in radio frequency, a commercial GPS receiver can be tested using this system. Experimental test shows the availability of this system, and anti-spoofing performance of a commercial GPS receiver has been analyzed.

GPS(Global Positiong System)와 GLONASS(GLObal NAvigation Satellite System) 는 위치와 시각을 제공하는 기초 기술이며 항법 분야, 측지분야, 자세 측정 및 제어 분야 등 그 응용분야가 다양하다. 그러나 GPS나 GLONASS는 각기 제한된 가시 위성의 수로 인해 정확한 항법 해를 얻는데 어려움이 있으며, 또한 하나의 항법 시스템만을 이용하는 경우 의존도가 너무 높아지게 되어 전략적인 측면에서도 불리하다. 이러한 측면에서 GPS와 GLONASS 의 통합수신은 보다 정확한 항법 해를 구할 수 있고 보다 나은 시스템의 안정도를 가져올 수 있다. 이를 목적으로 GPS/GLONSS 통합 수신용 RF 전단부를 130$\times$80 mm$^2$의 PCB상에 구현하였고 실제 시스템에 적용 가능한지를 측정하였으며 GLONASS 수신기의 one chip화의 가능성을 검토하였다.

As GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) is used in various filed, many countries establish GNSS system independently. But GNSS system has the limitation of accuracy and stability in stand-alone mode, because this system has error elements which are ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, orbit ephemeris error, satellite clock error, and etc. For overcome of accuracy limitation, the DGPS(Differential GPS) and RTK(Real-Time Kinematic) systems are proposed. These systems perform relative positioning using the reference and user receivers. ETRI(Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) is developing precision navigation system in point of extension of GNSS usage. The precision navigation system is for providing the precision navigation solution to common users. If this technology is developed, GNSS system can be used in the fields which require precision positioning and control. In this paper, we introduce the precision navigation system and perform design and algorithm verification.

This paper presents the development of an end-to-end numerical simulator for signal design of the next generation global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The GNSS services are an essential element of modern human life, becoming a core part of national infra-structure. Several countries are developing or modernizing their own positioning and timing system as their demand, and South Korea is also planning to develop a Korean Positioning System (KPS) based on its own technology, with the aim of operation in 2034. The developed simulator consists of three main units such as a signal generator, a channel unit, and a receiver. The signal generator is constructed based on the actual navigation satellite payload model. For channels, a simple Gaussian channel and land mobile satellite (LMS) multipath channel environments are implemented. A software receiver approach based on a commercial GNSS receiver model is employed. Through the simulator proposed in this paper, it is possible to simulate the entire transceiver chain process from signal generation to receiver processing including channel effect. Finally, numerical simulation results for a simple example scenario is analyzed. The use of the numerical signal simulator in this paper will be ideally suited to design a new navigation signal for the upcoming KPS by reducing the research and development efforts, tremendously.

Galileo is a European Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that has offered the Galileo Open Service since 2016. Consequently, the standardization of GNSS augmentation systems, such as Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS), Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS), and Aircraft Based Augmentation System (ABAS) for Galileo signals, is ongoing. In 2023, the European Union Space Programme Agency (EUSPA) released prior probabilities of a satellite fault and a constellation fault for Galileo, which are 3×10^-5 and 2×10^-4 per hour, respectively. In particular, the prior probability of a Galileo constellation fault is significantly higher than that for the GPS constellation fault, which is defined as 1×10^-8 per hour. This raised concerns about its potential impact on GBAS integrity monitoring. According to the Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Positioning Service Performance Standard (SPS PS), a constellation fault is classified as a wide fault. A wide fault refers to a fault that affects more than two satellites due to a common cause. Such a fault can be caused by a failure in the Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP). The EOP is used when transforming the inertial axis, on which the orbit determination is based, to Earth Centered Earth Fixed (ECEF) axis, accounting for the irregularities in the rotation of the Earth. Therefore, a faulty EOP can introduce errors when computing a satellite position with respect to the ECEF axis. In GNSS, the ephemeris parameters are estimated based on the positions of satellites and are transmitted to navigation satellites. Subsequently, these ephemeris parameters are broadcasted via the navigation message to users. Therefore, a faulty EOP results in erroneous broadcast ephemeris data. In this paper, we assess the conventional ephemeris fault detection monitor currently employed in GBAS for wide faults, as current GBAS considers only single failure cases. In addition to the existing requirements defined in the standards on the Probability of Missed Detection (PMD), we derive a new PMD requirement tailored for a wide fault. The compliance of the current ephemeris monitor to the derived requirement is evaluated through a simulation. Our findings confirm that the conventional monitor meets the requirement even for wide fault scenarios.
