In order to enhance receive sensitivity in noisy environment, the previous initial synchronization method of GPS receiver for reference stations adopts not only the coherent integration method but also the non-coherent integration method. However, the previous GPS initial synchronization method causes the non-coherent integration loss, which is a dominant factor among the signal acquisition losses in noisy environment. And the non-coherent integration loss increases with the strength of noise signal. In this pa-per, a GPS initial synchronization method is proposed to enhance receive sensitivity of GPS receiver for reference stations in noisy environment. This paper presents that the proposed GPS initial synchronization method suppresses the non-coherent integration loss. Furthermore, with regard to the mean acquisition time, it is shown that the number of the search cells of the proposed GPS initial synchronization method is much fewer than that of the previous GPS initial synchronization method.

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.

For RF sensitivity enhancement, the previous assisted GPS acquisition architecture adopts not only the coherent integration technique but also the non-coherent integration technique since the long coherent integration time increases the number of the frequency search cells. But the non-coherent integration technique induces the squaring loss, which is the dominant factor among the acquisition losses of assisted GPS dealing with weak GPS signals. This paper proposes an efficient architecture for weak signal acquisition in assisted GPS. In this paper, it is explained that the proposed architecture reduces the squaring loss using a modified non-coherent integration technique. Furthermore, it is..

기존 DGPS 기준국용 GPS 수신기의 초기동기 방법은 잡음환경에 대한 강건성 향상을 위해 동기 누적 기법과 비동기 누적 기법을 함께 이용하고 있다. 그러나, 기존 DGP통 기준국용 GPS 초기동기 방법은 잡음환경에서 발생하는 신호획득 손실 중에서 우세한 성분인 비동기 누적 손실이 발생할 뿐만 아니라 잡음세기가 커질수록 비동기 누적 손실도 커지는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 잡음환경에 강인한 DGPS 기준국을 위해 기존 GPS 초기동기의 비동기 누적 손실 문제를 해결한 새로운 GPS 초기동기 방법을 제안하고, 제안하는 GPS 초기동기 방법이 비동기 누적 손실을 억제하는 효과가 있음을 보인다. 그리고, 평균 초기동기 획득시간 측면에서 제안하는 GPS 초기동기 방법이 기존 GPS 초기동기 방법이 검색해야 할 셀의 개수 보다 더 적은 셀을 검색하는 이점이 있음을 보인다. 마지막으로 GPS 시뮬레이터를 이용한 모의실험을 통해 제안하는 GPS 초기동기 방법이 잡음세기가 증가한 환경에서 높은 신호대 잡음비로 GPS 신호를 획득할 수 있음을 확인한다.

In AGPS method, user position can be obtained even in the shadow region by improving signal sensitivity. A hybrid long integration scheme employing both coherent and non-coherent integration method is commonly used in AGPS receivers. Because coherent loss increases as residual frequency become large, residual frequency should be minimized to maximize coherent integration gain. This paper presents performance analysis of residual frequency estimator using FFT in fine-time assistance AGPS method. Considering the hardware complexity and the estimation accuracy, optimal length of FFT is proposed for GPS L1 C/A signal. Signal sensitivity for estimating the residual frequency is also analysed. By field experimental results, it is found that the residual frequency can be successfully estimated using 1 second snap-shot data when GPS signal strength is larger than -150 dBm and its RMS error is 3Hz.

이동 통신망을 이용한 지상파 측위 기술은 GPS와 더불어 LBS를 구성하기 위한 핵심 기술이다. WiBro 시스템은 차세대 통신망으로 주목 받고 있으며, WiBro 망에서 매 프레임마다 방송되는 프리앰블 심볼의 특성을 이용하면 TDOA 방식의 무선 측위가 가능하다. 그러나 WiBro 시스템은 셀룰러 구조로 되어 있기 때문에 일반적으로 단말기가 다수의 기지국 신호로부터 거리정보를 구하기 어렵다. WiBro 망에서 삼변측량을 이용한 무선 측위를 하기 위해서는 수신 신호의 세기를 증가시켜야 하며, 장기 중첩 기법을 이용하여 가청성을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 잔여 오차와 수신 신호의 SNR에 따른 동기 중첩 및 비동기 중첩의 성능을 비교하여 WiBro 망에서 최적의 혼합 중첩 방법을 제시하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 혼합 중첩의 성능을 분석하고 WiBro 망을 이용한 무선 측위의 가능성 및 한계를 확인하였다.

A novel GPS initial synchronization scheme with low hardware complexity is proposed. The proposed method has the decomposed differential matched filter, which consists of 25% multiplier and adder of the conventional matched filter. This paper presents the generalized mean acquisition time of initial synchronization scheme with multiple correlator. It is shown that the proposed method, in spite of its low hardware complexity, has the equal performance to the conventional method. The performance of the proposed method is verified through the simulation test by the GPS simulator. It is shown that the proposed method prevents the squaring loss of non-coherent integration.
