A signal generation simulator is an economical and useful solution in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver design and testing. A software-defined radio approach is widely used both in receivers and simulators, and its flexible structure to adopt to new signals is ideally suited to the testing of a receiver and signal processing algorithm in the signal design phase of a new satellite-based navigation system before the deployment of satellites in space. The generation of highly accurate delayed sampled codes is essential for generating signals in the simulator, where its sampling rate should be chosen to satisfy constraints such as Nyquist criteria and integer and non-commensurate properties in order not to cause any distortion of original signals. A high sampling rate increases the accuracy of code delay, but decreases the computational efficiency as well, and vice versa. Therefore, the selected sampling rate should be as low as possible while maintaining a certain level of code delay accuracy. This paper presents the lower limits of the sampling rate for GNSS signal generation simulators. In the simulation, two distinct code generation methods depending on the sampling position are evaluated in terms of accuracy versus computational efficiency to show the lower limit of the sampling rate for several GNSS signals.

Errors included in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements degrade the performance of user position estimation but can be mitigated by spatial correlation properties. Augmentation systems providing correction data can be broadly categorized into State Space Representation (SSR) and Observation Space Representation (OSR) methods. The satellite-based cm-level augmentation service based on the SSR broadcasts correction data via satellite signals, unlike the traditional Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Network RTK methods, which use OSR. To provide a large amount of correction data via the limited bandwidth of the satellite communication, efficient message structure design considering service area, correction generation, and broadcast intervals is necessary. For systematic message design, it is necessary to analyze the influence of error components included in GNSS measurements. In this study, errors in satellite orbits, satellite clocks for GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS satellite constellations ionospheric and tropospheric delays over one year were analyzed, and their spatial decorrelations and linear modeling characteristics were examined.

본 논문에서는 우리나라 항공용 위성항법 보강시스템의 구축 방안에 대해 ICAO기준을 만족하는 전공역 위성항법 보강시스템 성능기준을 바탕으로 정량화하여 검토하였다. 국제적 동향으로부터 구축예상시점에서의 추세변화를 예측하고, 우선적으로 우리나라 여건에 적합한 구축 시나리오를 설정하여 가용성(Availability)에 대한 성능분석을 수행하였다. 국내 구축 시나리오로는 GBAS의 경우 국내 모든 공항에 구축하고, SBAS와 GRAS의 경우 5개 지역의 기준국과 2개의 중앙처리국이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 추가적으로 SBAS의 경우는 2개의 지상 송신국(Uplink Station)과 2개의 정지위성이 소요되고, GRAS의 경우는 15개의 VDB가 소요되는 것으로 분석되었다. 전공역에 대한 각 보강시스템들에 대한 우리나라에서의 기용성 분석결과를 제시하였으며, 위성항법기술의 발전추세를 종합적으로 고려하더라도, SBAS와 GRAS의 경우는 CAT-I 수준 이상의 가용성을 보장하지 못할 것으로 판단되는 반면, ABAS의 성능은 지속적으로 개량되어 나갈 것이 확실시 되므로 대형기 중심의 우리나라 상황에서의 항공항법용 보강시스템으로서는 ABAS와 GBAS만으로 충분할 것으로 평가되었다.

High ionospheric spatial gradient during ionospheric storm is most concern for the landing approach with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) augmentation systems. In case of the GBAS (Ground-Based Augmentation System), the ionospheric storm causes sudden increase of the ionospheric delay difference between a ground facility and a user (aircraft), and the aircraft position error increases significantly. Since the ionosphere behavior and the storm effect depend on geographic location, understanding the ionospheric storm behavior at specific regional area is crucial for the GNSS augmentation system development and implementation. Korea Aerospace Research Institute and collaborating universities have been developing an integrity monitoring test bed for GBAS research and for future regional augmentation system development. By using the dense GPS (Global Positioning System) networks in Korea, a regional ionosphere map is constructed for finding detailed aspect of the ionosphere variation. Preliminary analysis on the ionospheric gradient variation during a recent storm period is performed and the results are discussed.

It has been recognized that the risk from the vulnerability of GPS can lead to the extreme damage in the infrastructure of the civil and military in recent years. As an example, the intentional interference to GPS signal, named GPS jamming, was really performed to misguide GPS guided weapons during Iraq war in 2003, and the fact has also followed by the serious issues on GPS in civilian community. In the modernized military society, the navigation warfare(NAVWAR) based on the GPS jamming has been emerged and introduced as a military operation. The intentional interference to the future global navigation satellite system(GNSS) involving GPS must be also an important issue to civilian users in near future. This study is focused on the fundamental research prior to the research on "Potential principle of NAVWAR" under NAVWAR of the future warfare. In this paper, we would study on the investigation of NAVWAR based on electronic warfare(EW) and analyze characteristics of the jamming against GNSS's receivers. Then the general mechanism on GNSS jamming is proposed.

This paper presents a multi-frequency and multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal generator that simulates intermediate frequency level digital signal samples for testing GNSS receivers. GNSS signal generators are ideally suited for testing the performance of GNSS receivers and algorithms under development in the laboratory for specific user locations and environments. The proposed GNSS signal generator features a fully-reconfigurable structure with the ability to adjust signal parameters, which is beneficial to generate desired signal characteristics for multiple scenarios including multi-constellation and frequencies. Successful signal acquisition, tracking, and navigation are demonstrated on a verified Software Defined Radio (SDR) in this study. This work has implications for future studies and advances the research and development of new GNSS signals.

차세대 지능형 교통시스템(C-ITS)은 육상교통 환경에서 차로구분 수준의 위치결정 정확도를 요구하며, 이는 위성항법시스템을 활용하는 게 가장 효과적이다. 위성항법 기반 정밀위치결정 시스템에서는 차로구분 성능의 동적환경에 대한 평가가 동반되어야 하며, 이를 위한 평가 시스템 구성이 선행 될 필요가 있다. 또한 동적인 환경에서 교통 상황이나 도로 상황에 따라 변화하는 다양한 환경에 따라 성능이 변화하기 때문에, 다양한 환경에서의 성능 검증이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 위성항법시스템 기반의 차로구분 정밀위치 결정 성능 평가를 위한 시스템과 교통, 도로와 같은 주행환경에 따른 성능 분석을 위한 기준에 대해 설명하였다. 실제 시험 평가 구간 주행을 수행하며 수집한 데이터를 바탕으로, 수치적 성능 평가를 진행 했으며, 실제 주행 궤적과 주행영상의 비교를 통해 실제 차로 구분 성능 평가를 하여 차로구분 정밀위치결정 사용자 시스템의 평가 결과를 도출하였고, 주행환경에 따른 성능을 분석 하였다.

The existing studies on the localization in the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) denied environment usually exploit low-cost MEMS IMU (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems Inertial Measurement Unit) sensors to replace the GNSS signals. However, the navigation system still requires GNSS signals for the normal environment. This paper presents an integrated GNSS/INS (Inertial Navigation System) navigation system which combines GNSS and multiple IMU sensors using extended Kalman filter in partially GNSS-denied environments. The position and velocity of the INS and GNSS are used as the inputs to the integrated navigation system. The Mahalanobis distance is used for novelty detection to detect the outlier of GNSS measurements. When the abnormality is detected in GNSS signals, GNSS data is excluded from the fusion process. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a higher degree of positioning accuracy in the partially GNSS-denied environment.
