Our society consist of many country's critical infrastructure such as production and distribution of electric power systems, communications technology, tele-communications, financial system, transportation systems when those systems are operated efficiently and normally. Country's critical infrastructure and its application fields of this magnitude rely on more and more P.N.T (Positioning, Navigation. Timing) systems, in which the tele-communications(Timing), financial market(Timing), logistics (Positioning, Navigation, Timing), transportation(Positioning, Navigation. Timing) is shoring. Reliability concerned about the exact position and timing of these critical national infrastructure rely on ability to provide a stable from GPS.

위치, 항법 및 시각정보가 육상, 해상, 항공 등 지구상 거의 모든 공간에서 다양한 목적으로 활용되고 있는 위성항법시스템(GNSS, Global Navigation Satelite System)은 그 중요성이 더욱 높아지고 있으며 미국이 제공해 주는 GPS의 고의잡음(SA)제거 및 성능 향상을 통하여 GNSS를 이용한 응용분야의 발전은 더욱 확대되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 위성항법시스템의 P.N.T(Position, Navigation and Timing) 서비스 기능을 사회의 전박적인 주요 인프라 시설에 기초적인 원리의 정확성을 더하고 지속성과 무결함성을 제공할 수 있기 때문에 신뢰성을 가지고 여러분야에 활용되고 있으나 지상에서 약20,200km 고도에 위치한 인공위성에서 미약한 신호를 송신함으로써 GNSS 수신기가 의도적이든 비의도적이든 동일한 주파수 밴드의 신호에 영향을 받을 경우 정상적인 역할을 할 수 없다. 우리나라의 경우 P.N.T 서비스 기반 자체가 GPS에 전적으로 의존하고 있으며 유사시 이를 대체할 항법 시스템을 별도로 갖추고 있지 않고 있어 미국의 고의적인 GPS 서비스의 중단이나 주변국가의 방해전파 송신으로 인한 GPS 신호 중단사태가 발생할 경우에는 우리나라 국가 주요 인프라에 치명적인 피해를 입힐 수 있기 때문에 대체항법을 시스템을 구축하여 독자적인 P.N.T 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 시스템 구축이 국가적인 차원에서 절실하게 필요하다.

This paper describes the RF(Radio Frequency) interference on the GNSS receiver due to the S-band signals transmitted from the transmitters in the Test Launch Vehicle, and analyzes the cause of the RF interference. Due to the S-band signals that have relatively high power levels compared with GNSS signals, an LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) in the active GNSS antenna was saturated, and the intermodulation signal within GNSS in-bands was produced in the LNA whenever two S-band signals were received from the GNSS antenna. For these reasons, the C/N0 of the satellite signals in the GNSS receiver was attenuated severely. The design of the LNA was changed in order to protect the RF interference due to the S-band signals and the suppression capability of the RF interference was confirmed in the new LNA through the comparison of the old LNA.

This paper describes the development of RF front.end equipment of a wide band high precision satellite navigation receiver to be able to receive the currently available GPS navigation signal and the GALILEO navigation signal to be developed in Europe in the near future. The wide band satellite navigation receiver with high precision performance is composed of L - band antenna, RF/IF converters for multi - band navigation signals, and high performance baseband processor. The L - band satellite navigation antenna is able to be received the signals in the range from 1.1 GHz to 1.6 GHz and from the navigation satellite positioned near the horizon. The navigation signal of GALILEO navigation satellite consists of L1, E5, and E6 band with signal bandwidth more than 20 MHz which is wider than GPS signal. Due to the wide band navigation signal, the IF frequency and signal processing speed should be increased. The RF/IF converter has been designed with the single stage downconversion structure, and the IF frequency of 140 MHz has been derived from considering the maximum signal bandwidth and the sampling frequency of 112 MHz to be used in ADC circuit. The final output of RF/IF converter is a digital IF signal which is generated from signal processing of the AD converter from the IF signal. The developed RF front - end has the C/N0 performance over 40dB - Hz for the - 130dBm input signal power and includes the automatic gain control circuits to provide the dynamic range over 40dB.

In modern industry, the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS) is utilized in various fields, where PNT information (P: Positioning, N: Navigation, T: Timing) is always provided and the accurate location estimation based on PNT information is required. In particular, in order to prevent the infection and the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic situation that began in 2019, the precise GNSS technology and various supporting techniques have been used, and, with active quarantine and efforts for the infection spread restrain around the world, we are facing the transition to an endemic situation. In fields of disease and E-health, the location information of users is absolutely necessary to track and monitor infectionous diseases and provide remote medical services, and GNSS plays a leading role in providing the accurate location information. This paper presents investigation results on the up-to-date research trends in which GNSS technologies are employed in the field of disease and E-health, and analyzes the results.

In this paper, we propose networked airborne relay-based positioning scheme (N-ARPS) based on time division multiple access (TDMA) networks to improve the performance of relative navigation (RelNav). To integrate the ARPS into TDMA, there are three problems such as slot allocation, selection of airborne relays, and method for signal loss to be solved. A subframe of N-ARPS is designed to assign the slots for broadcast and relay of navigation signals consecutively to minimize the effect of mobility. The selection algorithm determines the optimum set of airborne relays by selecting evenly distributed nodes depending on their distances to the master station. Finally, we uses precise position location information (PPLI) messages, which are received in data transmission period, to estimate a user position when the navigation signals are missing. The simulation results indicate that N-ARPS significantly improves user accuracy over RelNav.

Analysis on optimality of the proportional navigation guidance(PNG) law is presented in this paper. While most of previous studies on optimality of PNG were relied on the linear formulation, this paper is based on the nonlinear formulation. The analysis shows that PNG is an optimal solution minimizing a range-weighted control energy, where the weighting function is an inverse of $\alpha$ power of the distance-to-target. We show that the navigation constant N is related to $\alpha$ directly. And also the conditions required to ensure the analysis result are investigated.

When new inertial navigation systems for an unmanned aerial vehicles are being developed and tested, construction of a fault-tolerant system is required because of various types of hazards caused by S/W and H/W faults. In this paper, a new fault-tolerant flight system that can be deployed into one or more FCCs (Flight Control Computers) is introduced, based on a partition scheme wherein each OFP (Operational Flight Program) partition uses an independent CPU and memory slot. The new fault-tolerant navigation system utilizes one or two FCCs, and executes a primary navigation OFP under development and a stable shadow OFP partition on each node. The fault-tolerant navigation system based on a single FCC can be used for UAVs with small payloads. For larger UAVs, an additional FCC with two OFP partitions can be used to provide both H/W and S/W fault-tolerance. The developed fault-tolerant navigation system significantly removes various hazards in testing new navigation S/Ws for UAVs.
