Abstract

The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System(QZSS) is the Japanese satellite navigation system, which designs to increase the GPS system's visibility in the urban areas. The first satellite(Michibiki) was launched in 2010 and started to broadcast navigation signals. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to analyze the performance of GPS and QZSS based on the advantage of the integrated GNSS. Especially, the study has been processed in terms of improving satellite navigation parameters around Korean Peninsula. To do this, there have been the comprehensive analysis of the QZSS characteristics, the experimental test, and its statistical analysis for realizing advantage of GPS and QZSS. Through these systemic steps, it was recognized that the integrated GPS and QZSS has more reliable than GPS in case of not only limited visibility but also ordinary positioning. Additionally, the integrated GPS and QZSS would be very useful to improve the various navigation parameters around the peninsula.

QZSS(Quasi-Zenith Satellite System)는 일본의 위성항법시스템으로 도심지역에서 GPS 시스템의 가시성 향상을 위해 계획되었다. 첫 번째 위성(Michibiki)이 2010년 발사되었으며 이후 정상적으로 항법신호를 방송하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 GPS와 QZSS를 이용한 통합위성항법시스템의 성능을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 특히 한반도 주변에서의 통합위성항법 시스템 사용 관점에서 연구가 진행되었으며, QZSS 시스템의 특성 분석, 실험 장비를 이용한 실측 및 통계적 분석 등을 통해 체계적인 연구를 하여 GPS와 QZSS 위성항법 시스템이 가시성측면에서 장애를 받는 경우 뿐 아니라 평상의 위치 측정에도 더욱 신뢰성이 높음을 확인하였다. 또한 한반도 영역에서 다양한 항법파라미터 향상에 GPS와 QZSS 통합위성항법시스템이 매우 유용할 것으로 전망된다.
