Fields of high-precision positioning applications are growing fast across the mass market worldwide. Accordingly, the industry is focusing on developing methods of applying State-Space Representation (SSR) corrections on low-cost GNSS receivers. Among SSR correction types, this paper analyzes Safe Position Augmentation for Real Time Navigation (SPARTN) messages being offered by the SAfe and Precise CORrection DAta (SAPCORDA) company and validates positioning algorithms based on them. The first part of this paper introduces the SPARTN format in detail. Then, procedures on how to apply Basic-Precision Atmosphere Correction (BPAC) and High-Precision Atmosphere Correction (HPAC) messages are described. BPAC and HPAC messages are used for correcting satellite clock errors, satellite orbit errors, satellite signal biases and also ionospheric and tropospheric delays. Accuracies of positioning algorithms utilizing SPARTN messages were validated with two types of positioning strategies: Code-PPP using GPS pseudorange measurements and PPP-RTK including carrier phase measurements. In these performance checkups, only single-frequency measurements have been used and integer ambiguities were estimated as float numbers instead of fixed integers. The result shows that, with BPAC and HPAC corrections, the horizontal accuracy is 46% and 63% higher, respectively, compared to that obtained without application of SPARTN corrections. Also, the average horizontal and vertical RMSE values with HPAC are 17 cm and 27 cm, respectively.

For precise GNSS applications, the antenna phase center correction (PCC) is absolutely required. The PCC magnitude can reach the centimeter level with the antenna structure. In the present study, we first investigate the phase center offset (PCO) and phase center variation (PCO) of three different antenna models in two different reference frames, IGS08/igs08.atx and IGS14/igs14.atx. Clear L1 and L2 PCO differences were found between IGS08 and IGS14. In addition, the PCV showed characteristics that is dependent upon the signal direction (azimuth and elevation angle). The remarkable thing is that the changes of a Dorne Margolin choke-ring antenna model (AOAD/MT DOME) was very small in two reference frames. In order to analyze changes in positions according to different reference systems, GNSS data obtained from DAEJ, SUWN, and TSKB stations were processed by the precise point positioning (PPP) method. We suggest that an antenna PCO/PCV can affect the precise GNSS positioning on the order of several millimeters in two different reference frames.

In this study, a system that precisely determines the heave of ship hull was designed using time-differenced GNSS carrier phase measurement, and the performance was examined. First, a technique that calculates precise position relative to the original position based on TDCP measurement for point positioning using only one receiver was implemented. Second, to eliminate the long-cycle drift error occurring due to the measurement error that has not been completely removed by time-differencing, an easily implementable high-pass filter was designed, and the optimum coefficient was determined through an experiment. In a static experiment based on the precise heave measurement system implemented using low-cost commercial GNSS receiver and PC, the heave could be measured with a precision of 2 cm standard deviation. In addition, in a dynamic experiment where it moved up and down with an amplitude of 48 cm and a cycle of 20 seconds, precise heave without drift error could be determined. The system proposed in this study can be easily used for many applications, such as the altitude correction of fish detection radar.

Multi-Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can significantly improve the positioning accuracy and convergence speed. The reliability and availability of multi-GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) is steadily increasing with the rapid development of GNSS satellites. In this study, multi-GNSS PPP analysis is performed to compare the positioning precision by processing the observations from different GNSS systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou). To improve the positioning performance of the multi-GNSS PPP, we employed the weighed measurement noise (WMN) method. After applying WMN method to multi-GNSS PPP, positioning precision is improved by approximately 26.3% compared to the GPS only solutions, and by approximately 9.1% compared to combined GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo PPP.

Recently, many studies have considered the effect of atmospheric pressure loading (APL) on precise global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data processing. The APL deforms the Earth's crust. It can often exceed 10 mm in radial displacement. In this study, we analyze the APL effect on Multi-GNSS kinematic precise point positioning (PPP). In addition, observations received at two GNSS reference stations (DAEJ and SUWN) in South Korea were processed. The absolute position changes for the two stations were compared to before and after applying the APL effects from January 1 to February 29, 2020. The crust of South Korea was most affected by the APL in the up direction. With the APL model, the difference in daily position changes was mostly within 4 mm in the radial direction. On the other hand, the horizontal components (east-west and north-south) were relatively less affected than the radial component.

IGS에서 제공하는 RTS (real-time service) 정보는 인터넷으로 GNSS 궤도 및 시계에 대한 실시간 보정값을 제공하므로 실시간 정밀 위치추정에 많이 사용된다. 하지만 인터넷 환경이 불안정한 경우 RTS 신호가 단절될 수 있는데, 주로 다항식을 이용하여 손실된 신호예측을 수행한다. GNSS 항법메시지 IOD (issue of data)가 변화하는 구간에서는 RTS 보정정보도 급격히 변화하여 불연 속성이 증가하고, 신호단절이 발생할 경우 예측이 어려운 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 IOD 변화에 의한 항법메시지 궤도 차이를 적용하여 연속적인 RTS 보정정보를 생성하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 이용하면 RTS 신호손실이 IOD 변화 직후 발생할 경우 예측 성능을 높일 수 있다. RTS 예측성능을 높이기 위한 최적화 연구를 수행한 뒤, 예측된 RTS 궤도정보를 정밀위치결정(PPP; precise point positioning)에 적용하였다. 기존 방법에 비해 위치오차가 상당히 감소하였으며, 신호손실 구간이 길어질수록 위치오차가 급증하는 경향도 감소하였다.

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.

정밀단독측위(PPP)의 정확도에 영향을 주는 주요변수는 위성궤도력의 정확도, 위성시계오차, 관측자 환경에 종속된 오차(전리층 및 대기층 지연, multipath, tides 등) 및 이들과 관련한 모호정수의 해석 문제 등이다. 따라서 정밀단독측위의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해서는 여러 주파수의 GNSS 관측 자료에 정밀한 위성궤도 및 시계 보정정보와 관측자에 종속된 보정정보를 적용하여 전리층지연 및 모호정수를 실시간 해석해야 한다. 현재, 지역 및 광역 실시간 GNSS 관측망으로 부터 정밀 보정정보를 제공하는 여러 해석센터가 있다. 본 연구는 지역 또는 광역 GNSS 관측망의 해석센터들로부터 산출된 RTCM 보정정보를 NTRIP으로 수신하여 실시간으로 검사점에 개별 및 조합 적용하고 표준단독측위(SPP) 및 다양한 보정정보의 적용에 따른 정밀단독측위의 정확도를 시간대별로 비교 분석하여 GNSS위성에 의한 실시간 절대측위의 정확도를 검토하였다.

Over the last decade, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been increasingly utilized as a meteorological research tool. The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has also been developing a near real-time GNSS precipitable water vapor (PWV) information management system that can produce a precise PWV for the Korean Peninsula region using GNSS data processing and meteorological measurements. The goal of this paper is to evaluate whether the precise point positioning (PPP) strategy will be used as the new data processing strategy of the GNSS-PWV information management system. For this purpose, quality assessment has been performed by means of a comparative analysis of the troposphere zenith total delay (ZTD) estimates from KASI PPP solutions (KPS), KASI network solutions (KNS), and International GNSS Service (IGS) final troposphere products (IFTP) for ten permanent GNSS stations in the Korean Peninsula. The assessment consists largely of two steps: First, the troposphere ZTD of the KNS are compared to those of the IFTP for only DAEJ and SUWN, in which the IFTP are used as the reference. Second, the KPS are compared to the KNS for all ten GNSS stations. In this step, the KNS are used as a new reference rather than the IFTP, because it was proved in the previous step that the KNS can be a suitable reference. As a result, it was found that the ZTD values from both the KPS and the KNS followed the same overall pattern, with an RMS of 5.36 mm. When the average RMS was converted into an error of GNSS-PWV by considering the typical ratio of zenith wet delay and PWV, the GNSS-PWV error met the requirement for PWV accuracy in this application. Therefore, the PPP strategy can be used as a new data processing strategy in the near real-time GNSS-PWV information management system.
