Geofencing supports unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operation by defining stay-in and stay-out regions. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has developed a prototype of the geofencing function, SAFEGUARD, which prevents stayout region violation by utilizing position estimates. Thus, SAFEGUARD depends on navigation system performance, and the safety risk associated with the navigation system uncertainty should be considered. This study presents a methodology to compute the safety risk assessment-based along-track position error bound under nominal and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) failure conditions. A Kalman filter system using pseudorange measurements as well as pseudorange rate measurements is considered for determining the position uncertainty induced by velocity uncertainty. The worst case pseudorange and pseudorange rate fault-based position error bound under the GNSS failure condition are derived by applying a Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor (RAIM). Position error bound simulations are also conducted for different GNSS fault hypotheses and constellation conditions with a GNSS/INS integrated navigation system. The results show that the proposed along-track position error bounds depend on satellite geometries caused by UAV attitude change and are reduced to about 40% of those of the single constellation case when using the dual constellation.

The carrier-based differential global navigation satellite system (CD-GNSS) has been garnering significant attention as a promising technology for unmanned vehicles for its high accuracy. The CD-GNSS systems to be used for safety-critical applications should provide a certain level of integrity. The integrity of these systems must be analyzed under various conditions, including fault-free and satellite fault conditions. The systems should be able to detect the faults that can cause large biases on the user position errors and quantify the integrity risk by computing the protection level (PL) to protect the user against the faults that are left undetected. Prior work has derived and investigated the PL for the fault-free condition. In this study, the integrity of the CD-GNSS system under the fault condition is analyzed. The position errors caused by the satellite's fault are compared with the fault-free PL (PL_H0) to verify whether the integrity requirement can be met without computing the PLs for the fault conditions. The simulations are conducted by assuming the ephemeris fault, and the position errors are evaluated by changing the size of the ephemeris faults that missed detection. It was confirmed that the existing fault monitors do not guarantee that the position error under the fault condition does not exceed the PL_H0. Further, the impact of the faults on the position errors is discussed.

This paper deal with a method for calculating the continuity of Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS), which was completed in Korea in December 2023, and a plan to respond in the event that a continuity hazard situation occurs during operation. For this purpose, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) continuity standards, Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), and European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) continuity cases are examined in this paper. According to the measures recommended by the ICAO, when the number of continuity risks exceeds a certain level and the level drops drastically, various mitigation operations by country are implemented. Through this, if KASS does not meet ICAO continuity standards in the future, such measures can be referred to. In addition, this paper computes the short-term KASS continuity during the test broadcast period. Although continuity does not meet the ICAO standards, although this test period is too short, further meaningful analysis in the future is required. Additionally, this paper carried out an analysis of the timing and period to systematically calculate the meaningful value of continuity.

인터넷은 기업의 운영과 경쟁방식을 송두리째 바꾸어 놓고 있다. 특히, 화훼유통 서비스를 급격히 진화시켰을 뿐만 아니라, 화훼소매점간 경쟁방식 자체를 변화시켰고 IT 서비스 제공자간 경쟁도 치열해지고 있다. 본 연구는 화훼소매점이 IT 서비스를 통해 화훼유통 서비스의 비즈니스 측면과 정보기술 측면에서 어떻게 진화하고 대응했는지 살펴보고자 한다. 또한, IT 서비스 제공자 측면에서 IT 서비스 위치 선정을 TPS(Typhoon Positioning Strategy) 관점에서 살펴보고자 한다. IT 서비스 제공업자는 높은 IT 역량을 기반으로 서비스 위치가 고객의 핵심 비즈니스(core business)에 위치하고 솔루션 수준에서 제공해야 높은 비즈니스 가치를 창출할 수 있고 지속적인 서비스의 제공이 가능하게 된다. IT 서비스 위치화 전략인 Typhoon Positioning Strategy(TPS)는 화훼유통 서비스의 비즈니스 진화방향, IT 서비스 트렌드, 그리고 사용자의 IT역량 수준을 고려해서 Business Process-Service Model을 가지고 IT 서비스 위치를 선정해야 한다는 것을 말하고 있다. 즉, IT 서비스 제공자는 자사에 적합한 IT 서비스 위치를 선정함에 있어서 먼저 고객의 핵심 비즈니스를 파악하여 솔루션 수준에서 IT 서비스를 제공해야 한다. 물론 솔루션 사용자의 IT 역량을 고려한 서비스 수준도 고려해야 할 중요한 요소이다. TPS 관점에서 고려해야 할 원칙으로 4가지를 제시했다. 원칙1: 제공하는 IT 서비스의 Solution Map 보유, 원칙2: 제공하는 IT 서비스가 고객의 핵심비즈니스를 지원, 원칙3: 제공하는 IT 서비스는 단위기능 수준이 아닌 솔루션 수준, 그리고 원칙4: 사용자(즉, 화훼소매점)의 IT 역량을 고려한 차등화 서비스 제공 등이다.

본 논문에서는 Ultra-Wide-Band(UWB) 영역 측정을 활용한 이동객체 위치추정과 이동객체 위치정확도를 개선하기 위한 방법을 논한다. 실외환경과는 달리 실내에서는 여러 가지 노이즈로 인해 이동객체의 위치추적이 어렵다. UWB는 최근 위치추적 응용에서 주목을 받고 있는 라디오 기술이다. UWB의 영역측정 기술은 cm 수준의 정확도를 제공한다. UWB의 데이터 전송과 정밀한 영역측정, 물질관통의 특성은 실내위치추적 응용에 적합하다. 본 논문은 UWB 영역 기술과 파티클 필터를 이용한 이동객체의 위치추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 위치추정 알고리즘들은 이동객체의 위치추정을 한 후에 예상되는 오차와 bias 값을 제거하였다. 그러나 이 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 먼저 예상되는 UWB 영역 거리 오차를 제거하고 난 후에 이동객체의 위치를 추정한다. 본 논문에서는 제안 알고리즘이 기존 이동객체의 위치 추정 후 오차를 제거하는 방식보다 위치정밀도가 좋아졌음을 실험을 통하여 보였다. 본 연구에서는 UWB를 이용하여 고정되어 있고 위치를 알고 있는 세 앵커들과 이동객체 간의 추정 거리로부터 bias값과 반복 영역 오차 값을 제거한 후 삼각측량을 하여 이동객체의 위치를 추정하였다. 마지막으로 파티클 필터를 사용하여 이동객체의 위치 정밀도 개선을 한다. 실험 결과는 제안 위치추정 방식이 실내 환경에서 더 정밀함을 보인다.

Global Positioning System (GPS) is used in various fields such as communications systems, transportation systems, e-commerce, power plant systems, and up to various military weapons systems recently. However, GPS receiver is vulnerable to jamming signals as the GPS signals come from the satellites located at approximately 20,000 km above the earth. For this reason, various anti-jamming techniques have been developed for military application systems especially and it is also required for commercial application systems nowadays. In this paper, we proposed a dual-channel Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) RF ASIC for digital pre-correlation anti-jam technique. It not only covers all GNSS frequency bands, but is integrated low-gain/attenuation mode in low-noise amplifier (LNA) without influencing in/out matching and 14-bit analogdigital converter (ADC) to have a high dynamic range. With the aid of digital processing, jamming to signal ratio is improved to 77 dB from 42 dB with proposed receiver. RF ASIC for anti-jam is fabricated on a 0.18-μm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology and consumes 1.16 W with 2.1 V (low-dropout; LDO) power supply. And the performance is evaluated by a kind of test hardware using the designed RF ASIC.

GPS is widely used for outdoor positioning in many applications. But it is not suitable for positioning in an obstacle environment such as urban area, tunnels and so on, due to variable signal level. So new technology of the positioning is required to provide the consistent error level regardless of any changes in any environment. Abrupt changes of GPS signal can be detected by various fault detection and isolation methods. Conventional FDI (Fault Detection and Isolation) methods are categorized into two approaches. One approach is the snapshot method that uses measurements only at present step. The other approach is the filtering method that uses measurements stacked from previous step to present step. The FDI result of the snapshot method can be considered reliable independently with previous results and the FDI result of the filtering method is more reliable and detection time is a little longer. Therefore combining approach of two methods is proposed for increasing FDI performance in this paper. Three approaches that are the snapshot method, the filtering method and the combining method are compared to show the probability of correct FDI in simulations. The combining approach presents best result of FDI among them and shows the consistent accuracy irrespective of any changes in outdoor environment.

The positioning accuracy of the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been improved considerably during the past two decades. The main error sources such as ionospheric refraction, orbital uncertainty, antenna phase center variation, signal multipath, and tropospheric delay have been reduced substantially, if not eliminated. In this study, the GPS data collected by the GPS receivers that were established as continuously operating reference stations by International GNSS Service (IGS), Ministry of the Interior (MOl), Central Weather Bureau (CWB), and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) Of Taiwan are utilized to investigate the impact of atmospheric water vapor on GPS positioning determination. The surface meteorological measurements that were concurrently acquired by instruments co-located with the GPS receivers include temperature, pressure and humidity data. To obtain the influence of the GPS height on the proposed impact study. A hydrodynamic ocean tide model (GOTOO.2 model) and solid earth tide were used to improve the GPS height. The surface meteorological data (pressure, temperature and humidity) were introduced to the data processing with 24 troposphere parameters. The results from the studies associated with different GPS height were compared for the cases with and without a priori knowledge of surface meteorological measurements. The finding based on the measurements in 2003 is that the surface meteorological measurements have an impact on the GPS height. The associated daily maximum of the differences is 1.07 cm for the KDNM station. The impact is reduced due to smoothing when the average of the GPS height for the whole year is considered.

This paper dealt with the propagation characteristics of acoustic signals produced by partial discharges and the positioning of PD origin in insulation oil to develop insulation diagnostic techniques of oil-immerged transformers. Electrode systems such as needle to plane, plane to plane, and particle electrodes were fabricated to simulate some defects of power transformers. In addition, the frequency spectrum and propagation characteristics of acoustic signals with partial discharge (PD) in insulation oil were analyzed. Although there were differences based on the type of defect, the frequency spectra of the acoustic signals measured by wide and narrow band acoustic emission (AE) sensors were distributed in the range of 50 kHz-400 kHz. Therefore, a narrowband AE sensor is suitable for the diagnosis of oil-immersed power transformers. We could find the position of the PD source with an error margin of 10% in the experiments by calculating the position of the PD occurrence using the time difference of arrival measured by five AE sensors.
