The standard for DGPS reference station system defined by RTCM is in the current version of 1.2. This standard currently supports only GPS of the United States. However, the current operating GNSS satellite consisted of not only GPS, but also GALILEO of Europe, GLONASS of Russia, QZSS of Japan, BeiDou of China and so on. Therefore, the existing standard is not able to support them. Accordingly, a new standard in the version of RTCM's RSIM 1.3 is established in order to provide correctional services to GNSS satellites. In this paper, the version of RSIM 1.3 is analyzed and the software for DGNSS reference station architecture supporting the version of RSIM 1.3 is designed.

The carrier phase measurements from GPS and GLONASS have different characteristics and therefore, have to be processed with different methods to provide precise positions or attitudes. In this contribution, at first, a measurement model is derived which can be used to not only GLONASS only applications but also both GPS and GLONASS applications. And then an error analysis of the proposed method performed using the derived model to derive analytic relationships between GDOP, PDOP and RGDOP. Finally, an integer ambiguity resolution method which was used in GPS is expanded to GPS and GLONASS. The proposed results can be directly applied to the design and analysis of GLONASS receiver and application programs. Furthermore, it is expected that the suggested method can also be effectively applied to combine the characteristically different measurements from the future satellite navigation systems such as GPS modernization, Galileo and QZSS.

Several developed countries have been developing their own satellite navigation systems, such as Europe's Galileo, China's BEIDOU, and Japan's QZSS, to cope with clock errors and signal vulnerabilities of GPS. In addition, modernization of Loran, eLoran, for GPS backup has been conducted. In Korea, a dependent navigation system has been required and for GPS backup, the need for utilization of time synchronization infrastructure through the modernization of Loran has been raised. Loran signal uses 100Khz groundwave. A significant factor limiting the ranging accuracy of the Loran signal is the ASF arising from the fact that the groundwave signal is likely to propagate over paths of varying conductivity and topography. Thus, an ASF compensation method is very important for Loran and eLoran navigation. This paper introduces the propagation delay model and then compares and analyzes the estimations from the propagation delay model and measured ASFs.

Against Anomaly of GPS, there are several projects of independent satellite navigation systems like Galileo of Europe and QZSS of Japan and modernization of terrestrial navigation system like Loran. In domestic, the need of independent navigation system was proposed and DGPS signal was nominated as the possible substitute. The DGPS signal uses medium frequency, which travels through the surface and cause the additional delay rather than the speed of light according to Conductivities and elevations of the irregular terrain. The similar approach is Locan-C. Loran-C has been widely used as the maritime location system. Loran-C uses the ASF estimation method and provides more precise positioning. However there was rarely research on this area in Korea Therefore, we introduce the legacy guaranteed model of additional delay(ASF) and present the results of implementation. With the comparison of the original Monteath results and BALOR results respectively, we guarantee that the implementation is absolutely perfect. For further works, we're going to apply the ASF estimation model to Korean DGPS system with the Korean terrain data.

최근 GPS의 이상 현상에 대한 대비 핀 독자 항법 시스템을 구축하기 위해 유럽의 갈릴레오 일본의 QZSS 등 세계 선진각국의 GPS에 독립적인 위성항법시스템을 구축하고 있으며 GPS의 백업 용도로 지상항법 시스템인 Loran의 현대화 작업 등이 진행되고 있다. 국내에서도 독자항법에 대한 필요성이 거론되었고 해양수산부는 해상 밀 국내 전 지역을 커버할 수 있는 신호 영역을 가진 DGPS 신호의 대체항법 및 시각동기 인프라로서의 활용성에 대해 정책적으로 접근하고 있다. GPS 보정 정보를 방송하는 DGPS 비콘 신호는 중파 대역으로 지표를 따라 전파되는 특성이 있다. 지표를 따라 전파되는 지표파는 지형의 전도율과 고도에 의해 전파의 전파시 추가 지연이 발생하고 이 추가 지연은 항법 린 시각동기에 오차를 유발하게 된다. 본 논문은 DGPS 신호가 지형의 특성에 따라 지연되는 전파 특성 및 전파지연모델을 소개하고 해당 전파지연모델 구현 결과를 기존 연구결과와 비교$\cdot$검증하여 그 결과를 제시한다.

위성항법수신기는 항법위성(GPS)들이 현재 위치와 시간이 담긴 전파신호를 지상으로 송신하면, 이런 신호를 받아 전파가 도달하기까지 걸린 시간을 계산해 자신의 현재 위치를 파악하게 된다. 경도와 위도, 높이를 동시에 파악하기 위해서는 3개 위성신호가 요구되고, 위성간 시간 오차를 제거해 위치 측정의 정확도를 높이기 위한 신호용으로 또 하나의 위성이 필요해 4개 위성이 요구된다. 항법의 형태는 육표기반 항법, 천체기반 항법, 센서기반 항법, 무선기반 항법 및 위성기반 항법으로 분류되며 그 중 전역이고 간섭 영향 및 재밍(jamming)이 어려우며 정확도 측면에서 우수한 위성항법시스템에는 GPS(미국), GLONASS(러시아)가 운용중이고, Galileo(유럽연합), COMPASS(중국), QZSS(일본), IRNSS(인도)이 개발중이다. 위성항법시스템 다원화에 따라 위성항법 수신기 기술도 이중주파수처리 및 타 시스템과의 호환성 제공이 요구되는바, 본 논문에서는 위성항법 수신기 기술 동향을 소개하고자 한다.

Navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS etc.) provide three main services, i.e., positioning for location based services, navigation for multi-modal transportation services, and timing for communication and critical infrastructure services. They were started as military systems but were extended to civil service. Navigation satellite navigation system began with GPS in the USA and GLONASS in Russia at nearly the same time. Indian NavIC and Chines BDS announced their FOCs in 2016 and 2020, respectively and European Galileo and Japanese QZSS are catching up others. In these days, Navigation Satellite System, Positioning, Navigation, and Timing services are part of our daily life very closely. They are required for autonomous driving car, Unmanned vehicles like UAV, UGV, and UMV, 5G/6G telecommunications, world financial system, power system, survey, agriculture, and so on. The services among navigation satellite systems are very competitive and also cooperative one another. This article describes the status of these systems and evolution in the technical and service senses, which may be helpful for planning korea positioning system(KPS).

This research proposes the best combination of tropospheric delay models for Korean Positioning System (KPS). The overall results are based on real observation data of Japanese Quasi-Zenith satellite system (QZSS), whose constellation is similar to the proposed constellation of KPS. The tropospheric delay models are constructed as the combinations of three types of zenith path delay (ZPD) models and four types of mapping functions (MFs). Two sets of International GNSS Service (IGS) stations with the same receiver are considered. Comparison of observation residuals reveals that the ZPD models are more influential to the measurement model rather than MFs, and that the best tropospheric delay model is the combination of GPT3 with 5 degrees grid and Vienna Mapping Function 1 (VMF1). While the bias of observation residual depends on the receivers, it still remains to be further analyzed.

Any development plan of a Korean space-based navigational system has been neither designed nor introduced yet. However, the demand for the development of a domestic regional satellite navigation system can be originated from the outside of market. The growing dependency on satellite navigational systems in Korea eventually requires the retainment and the operation of a domestic navigational satellite system. There is not many choices on the orbit designs and the system design concepts of a regional augmented navigation satellite system or a regional navigation satellite system for the service on the vicinity of the Korean peninsular. Space situational awareness (SSA) has been a rising issue for both national security and more realistic space business in Korea. Also SSA related technologies in Korea is a newly inaugurated area and is necessary to generate a navigation messages and maintain a future Korean navigation satellite system. In this study, the availability of Japanese Quasi Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) expected to be deployed definitely sooner than Korean counter-part is analyzed. The availability of the similar configured system over Korea is investigated with assumed QZSS type orbit. Also, feasible configuration of orbits for domestic navigation satellite system is suggested. And the observability of a ground-based optical tracking system as a secondary tracking capability is analyzed.
