Multilateration(MLAT) may complement secondary surveillance radar and also act as a real-time backup for the ADS-B system. This System is using time difference of arrival (TDOA) and based on triangulation principle. Each TDOA measurement defines a hyperbola describing possible aircraft locations. The accuracy in MLAT system depends on the positional relationship of the receiver and aircraft. There are various algorithms to localize aircraft based on TOA estimation. In this paper, we use least square method and extended Kalman filter and compare their results. Study results show that the extend Kalman filter provides a better performance than the least square method.

In this paper, performance on receivers of multilateration (MLAT) system that uses ADS-B signal, which is recently becoming popular, was analyzed to overcome shortcomings of existing aircraft flight control systems or reinforce the capabilities. A link budget was analyzed using a channel model in the airport environment with regard to Local Area Multilateration (LAM) for ground-controlled landing around the airport. In order to detect signals that arrived at the receiver successfully, sensitivity of receiver was analyzed using a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) worksheet, and a method that improves accuracy of the distance measurement was proposed by adopting a peak estimation using sampling signals. Through simulations, optimum specifications of receivers were analyzed to have high precision positioning of LAM, and accuracy of LAM distance measurements was presented.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to improve the accuracy of the Wi-Fi access point (AP) positioning technique. The proposed algorithm based on evaluating the trustworthiness of the signal strength quality of each measurement node is superior to other existing AP positioning algorithms, such as the centroid, weighted centroid, multilateration, and radio distance ratio methods, owing to advantages such as reduction of distance errors during positioning, reduction of complexity, and ease of implementation. To validate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we conducted experiments in a complex indoor environment with multiple walls and obstacles, multiple office rooms, corridors, and lobby, and measured the corresponding AP signal strength value at several specific points based on their coordinates. Using the proposed algorithm, we can obtain more accurate positioning results of the APs for use in research or industrial applications, such as finding rogue APs, creating radio maps, or estimating the radio frequency propagation properties in an area.

다변측정감시시스템은 탑재 트랜스폰더에서 전송되는 신호를 지상에 설치된 여러 수신기에서 획득하고 각각의 수신기의 신호 획득시간의 차를 이용하여 표적의 위치를 계산한다. TDOA(Time Difference Of Arrival) 계산 방법을 이용하는 다변측정감시시스템의 위치 정확도에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요소 중 하나는 신호 입력 시각 측정 시 발생하는 오차이다. 수신기에서 신호 입력 시각을 측정할 경우 수신기의 기준 클럭을 이용하여 입력 신호를 샘플링하고 동일한 샘플링 레이트를 가지는 기준 샘플(Reference Sample)을 Cross Correlation 기법에 적용한다. 따라서 신호 입력 시각의 정밀도는 기준 클럭에 비례한다. 본 논문에서는 기준 샘플과 이를 샘플링 레이트보다 작은 시간으로 기준 샘플을 지연시킨 다수의 샘플(DRS, Delayed Reference Sample)을 수신기의 입력신호와 Cross Correlation을 수행하여 신호 입력 시각을 보다 정밀하게 측정하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이를 검증하기 위해 Matlab을 이용하여 타겟에서 송출하는 트랜스폰더의 펄스 신호를 구현하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 DRS와 입력신호와의 Cross Correlation을 수행하였다. 이 결과로 부터 신호 입력 시각 정밀 측정의 성능을 분석하였다.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 위치측정 문제는 위치가 알려진 일부 고정 노드들을 기준으로 나머지 노드들의 위치를 결정하는 문제이다. 기존의 많은 위치 측정 기법들은 고정 노드들로부터의 거리나 각도의 측정값을 기반으로 multilateration 이나 삼각기법(triangulation)을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 서로 전송 범위 내에 있는 노드 쌍에 대해서 가중치를 주어 미지 노드들의 위치를 계산하는 새로운 중앙 집중적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 기법은 단순하다는 장점을 지니며, 위치 측정 문제가 일차원 행렬 방정식으로 정형화 될 수 있음을 보여준다. 이러한 일차원 행렬방정식이 유일한 해를 가짐을 수학적으로 증명함으로써 모든 미지 노드들의 위치를 유일하게 결정할 수 있음도 보인다. 가중치는 다양하게 설정될 수 있으나 현실적으로 활용될 수 있을 만한 세 가지 가중치 설정 방법을 제시한 후 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능을 비교 분석한다.

This paper describes the measurement of pulse positioning (input time) to calculate a time of arrival (TOA) that takes from transmitting a signal from the target of multilateration (MLAT) system to receiving the signal at the receiver. In this regard, this paper analyzes performances of simple threshold method and level adjust system (LAS) method, which is one of the adaptive threshold detector (ATD) methods, among many methods to calculate pulse positioning of signal received at the receiver. To this end, Cramer-rao lower bound (CRLB) with regard to pulse positioning, which was measured when signals transmitted from a transponder mounted at the target were received at the receiver, was induced and then deviation sizes with regard to pulse positioning, which was measured with simple threshold and LAS methods through MATLAB simulations, were compared. Next, problems occurring according to a difference in amplitude of signals inputted to each receiver are described when pulse positioning is measured at multiple receivers located at a different distance from the target as is the case in the MLAT system. Furthermore, LAS method to resolve the problems is explained. Lastly, this study analyzes whether a pulse positioning error occurring due to the signal noise satisfies the requirement (6 nsec. or lower) recommended for the MLAT system when using these two methods.

Due to the influence of Han-la Mountain which is located at the center of Jeju Island, a radar blind sector has been appearing in the south-east, low-altitude area of Jeju Island. Thus, the region is perilous for aircraft using surveillance in this area with the existing radar equipment that is currently available. In addition, as the popularity for domestic leisure aviation is on the rise, the safety in low-altitude area should be guaranteed. Where not only IFR flights but also VFR flights are mainly used. Therefore, immediate measures to the present state of radar blind sector in Jeju Island should be taken into serious account. Regarding the circumstances, this study's purpose is to help secure the aviation safety in Jeju region by analyzing the current air traffic surveillance system in Jeju Island and comprehending its vulnerable factors. Moreover, this study compares secondary radar surveillance system, ADS-B and MLAT(Multilateration) system with factors based on the guidance materials from ICAO Asia and Pacific region office to suggests an adequate surveillance technology considering the regional characteristics of Jeju.
