본 논문은 UAV를 이용한 항공기 기반 의사위성 항법시스템의 항법 메시지를 설계하는 효율적인 방법에 대해서 다루고 있다. 논문에서는 먼저 GPS 보강 시스템 혹은 독자적인 지역 항법시스템으로 응용이 가능한 UAV 의사위성 시스템에 대해서 설명한다. UAV의 기동은 비교적 짧은 시간 동안 매우 다양하게 변화할 수 있으므로, 위치를 나타내는 항법메시지의 설계에 특별한 고려가 요구된다. 본 연구에서 사용한 방법은 UAV의 직선 경로와 원 경로에 대해 각각 고유한 메시지 형식을 사용하고, 이 각각의 메시지를 nominal 메시지와 deviation 메시지로 구분하였다. 이러한 방식은 메시지의 전체 크기를 줄일 뿐만 아니라 시간 지연 문제에도 효과적으로 대응할 수 있게 한다. 줄어든 메시지 크기로 인해 남게 되는 공간은 다른 유용한 메시지의 전송에 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 제안된 형식의 성능 검증을 위해서 실제 UAV의 실험 데이터를 분석하였다. 분석에 사용된 데이터가 단일 안테나 GPS 수신기를 사용한 제한된 제어 시스템을 가진 실험 수준의 UAV로부터 얻은 것이었지만, 전체적인 성능은 위성항법시스템에 근접한 수준을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안된 메시지 형식과 관련 설계 방법은 비행선이나 기구를 이용한 시스템에도 응용할 수 있을 것이다.

Wide Area Differential GNSS(WA-DGNSS) was developed in order to improve the accuracy and integrity performance of GNSS. In this paper, overall structure of Pseudolite-Based Augmentation System(PBAS) and experimental methods which enables the post-processing test with commercial receiver will be described. For generating augmenting message, GPS measurement collected from five NDGPS reference stations were processed by reference station S/W and master station S/W. The accuracy of augmenting message was tested by comparing SP3, IONEX data. In the test, RF signal of user was collected and correction data were generated. After that, RF signal was broadcasted with pseudolite signal. Test was conducted using three commercial receiver and the performance was compared with MSAS and standalone user. From the position output of each receiver, it was shown that improved position was obtained by applying augmenting message.

Pseudolites are ground-based transmitters that can be configured to emit GPS-like signals for enhancing the GPS by providing increased accuracy, integrity, and availability. However, a pseudolite (PL) can interfere with GPS satellite signals while it is transmitting or cause saturation to automatic gain control circuit. To solve these problems pulsing scheme is used, which transmits PL signal during a short period of time. In this paper the effect of the number of PL and pulsing scheme on the software GPS L1 and L2C signal acquisition performance is studied for the three pulsing schemes such as static pulsing, sweep pulsing, and pseudo random pulsing. For GPS L1 signal, static pulsing shows the best signal acquisition and tracking performance with one PL, and random pulsing shows the best performance with more than or equal to two PLs. For GPS L2C signal, all three pulsing schemes show the similar signal acquisition and tracking performance, but static pulsing shows a little better performance. For GPS L1 and L2C signals, software GPS receivers can do positioning with up to three PLs.

As a basic research for the detection of GPS spoofing signal we study to generate a GPS fake signal which can mislead GPS receivers, and show that the fake signal is generated and transmitted through a pseudolite and the GPS receivers produce a wrong position as designated in the fake signal.

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) is operating widely in civil and military area. GNSS signals, however, can be easily interfered because its signal is vulnerable to jamming. Thus, a sort of backup or alternative system is needed in order that the navigation performance is assured to a certain degree in case of GNSS jamming. In order to suggest a series of backup or alternative system of regional navigation, in this paper, we introduced a high altitude long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (HALE UAV) with pseudolites using inverted GPS and transceiver system. We simulated the positioning error of the regional navigation system using HALE UAV with inverted GPS or transceivers concepts. We estimated the position error of HALE UAV calculate user position errors based on the position error of HALE UAV and general pseudorange error.

This paper describes the progress and the plan of 'Wide Area Differential GPS (WA-DGPS) Development' project supported by Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. The project develops the main algorithms of the WA-DGPS which guarantees the improved accuracy, availability, and integrity all over the Korean peninsula. After the establishment of WA-DGPS ground infrastructure system, a real-time demonstration using pseudolite installed on the ground will be conducted in the final year. Also, the development of Korean Satellite-based Augmentation System (SBAS) is expected to be started from 2014, and the algorithms and the results in the WA-DGPS project will be used in the SBAS development.

The Global Positioning System (GPS), Inertial Navigation System (INS) and Pseudolite (PL) technologies all play very important roles in navigation systems. As an independent navigation system, GPS can provide high precision positioning results which are independent of time. However, the performance will become unreliable when the system experiences high dynamics, or when the receiver is exposed to jamming or RF interference. In comparison to GPS, though INS is autonomous and provides good short-term accuracy, its use as a standalone navigation system is limited due to the time-dependent growth of the inertial sensor errors. PLs are ground-based transmitters that can transmit GPS-like signals. They have some advantages in that their positions can be determined precisely, and the Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNR) are relatively high. Because their combined performance, in principle, overcomes the shortcomings of the individual systems, the integration of GPS, INS and PL is increasingly receiving attention from researchers. Depending on the desired performance vs complexity, system integration can be carried out at different levels, namely loose, tight and ultra-tight coupling. Compared with loose and tight integration, although it is more complex in terms of system design, ultra-tight integration will be the basis of the next generation of reliable and robust navigation systems. Its main advantages include improved performance under exposure to high dynamics, and jamming and RF interference mitigation. This paper presents an overview of the ultra-tight integration developments and discusses some of the challenging issues.

본 논문은 지상에 배치된 의사위성의 배치에 따른 측위 정확도 분석에 대한 연구결과이다. 의사위성의 배치 간격에 따라 수신기에서의 측위 정확도(DOP, Dilution of Precision)가 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 배치에 따른 측위 정확도를 이론적인 연구결과를 이용하여 분석한 결과를 제시하였다. 특히 의사위성의 배치 시 디지털 지형 지도를 이용하여 정확한 위치에서 계산 될 수 있도록 하였고 측위정확도를 계산하기 위한 프로그램을 구현하였다.

GPS를 사용할 경우 반송파 위상 측정치를 이용한 정밀한 위치 측정이 가능하다. 그러나 GPS만을 사용할 경우, 미지정수 결정 성공률이 낮으며, 도심과 같은 곳에서 신호를 수신하지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 이 문제는 의사위성을 추가하여 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPS에 의사위성을 추가하여 미지정수의 결정 성공률이 향상되고 가용성을 향상시킬 수 있으며 정확도가 향상됨을 보였다.
