The orbit ephemeris of Global Positioning System(GPS) is one element to determine the surveying accuracy and there are broadcasting ephemeris and precise ephemeris, IGS rapid orbit and IGS ultra rapid orbit in the orbit ephemeris of GPS. In this study, test area was selected in Uljin, Kyungsanbukdo and GPS surveying was accomplished at 37 points in the test area. Then baseline solution was done on 74 baseline using broadcasting ephemeris and precise ephemeris and analysis by TGO and the results were compared. Comparison results were showed that there were nearly no difference between the two results but in case of relative precision of the baseline, it was slightly better the baseline results of precise ephemeris which showed 0.706ppm than the baseline results of broadcasting ephemeris which showed 0.708ppm.

This paper establised GPS network consist of 75km average baseline lengths over Jeollanamdo and Jeollabukdo nine point station and fixed Gwangju point station. We quantitavely analyzed how much precision of the baseline determination is improved for GPS survey when using the precise eqhemeris instead of tile broadcast ephemeris of GPS satellites. The observed data for each baseline were processed two times with the same conditions alternately changing the broadcast and the precise ephemeris. The standard deviations from the repeated measurments for each baseline ara compared between the results of using the broadcast ephemeris and the precise ephemeris. As the results, the precision, stability and reliability of the baseline determination using the precise ephemeris is better than those of using the broadcast ephemeris for all baselines.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the precision of GPS survey for the long baseline measurement. For this, we performed the simultaneous GPS observations at two points in Korea and nine points in Japan, and analyzed the precision of GPS survey by using broadcast ephemeris and precise ephemeris. As the results, in using precise emepheris and broadcast emepheris for the baseline less than 100km, each precisions are less than 0.1ppm. But the precision of precise emepheris is more improved than that of broadcast ephemeirs in the case of the baseline longer than 100km. That is, in comparing the results of VLBI and GPS survey, the precision is 0.13ppm for broadcast ephelneris and 0.04ppm for precise ephemeris. We expect that in the future this study will be used as the basic data for using broadcast ephemeris and precise ephemeris in GPS survey for the long baseline mearsurment.

Kinematic GPS surveying which can obtain much 3D topographical information through short-time measurement is being utilized mainly in the short baseline less than a few kilometers. Because the decision of position for the long baseline depends on the static GPS surveying which needs long time measurement, the method for measuring the position of long baseline is needed. In this study, the accuracy of the baseline according to the baseline distance, ephemeris, and observation time by GPS surveying is analysed to confirm the application of kinematic GPS surveying for the long baseline. As the result of this, the acquisition of 3D topographical information by GPS surveying in a few minutes will be possible when PDOP is less than 4, and the fast precise ephemeris is used within 60 km. Also, the accuracy is similar to that of final precise ephemeris of IGS. If a lot of studies about the long baseline kinematic GPS surveying are processed, the acquisition of topographical information for various industry including land development will be obtained more efficiently.

In this study, we determined the precise coordinates of TBMs (Tidal Bench Marks), which used as the national reference points in coastal area of Korea, using a GPS data analysis SW for the academic and scientific applications, GAMIT/GLOBK. For accurate 3-D positioning of TBM locations, we performed the GPS point surveying according to the national surveying policy and also acquired the GPS data for 48 TBMs located in the western and southern coastal part of Korea. Considering the results of baseline analysis to each observation session obtained from GAMIT module, the baseline analysis was realized to be done precisely because the values of Normalized RMS (NRMS) were mostly less than ${\pm}0.20mm$. Before the network adjustment using GLOBK module, we evaluated the suitability of observations for each session by applying the chi-squared test (${\chi}^2$ test) to the degree of freedom in observed session. An overall distributions of ${\chi}^2$ test were less than 1.0 for all sessions, and the statistical of ${\chi}^2$ test showed the average, 0.267 with minimum and maximum value, 0.063 and 0.653, respectively. Finally, we analyzed the network adjustment for 48 TBMs to reduce the residuals of baseline analysis on each point by connecting with 42 permanent GPS stations in Korea. In the network adjustment procedure, we set up the weighted values of each permanent station to be allocated between 0.9 and 1.14, and also removed the observed points having residual exceeds 4-times of standard deviation ($4{\sigma}$).

This study verified the limitations of commercial GPS data processing software and the applicability on precise positioning through comparing the processing results between Bernese and TGO under various conditions. To achieve the goal, we selected three nationwide station data and two smaller local data to constitute networks. By using Bernese and TGO, those networks are processed through the baseline analysis and the network adjustment. The comparative analysis was carried out, in terms of software, baseline length and network scale, observation duration, and number of fixed points. In the comparison between softwares, the scientific software was excellent in accuracy. It was confirmed that, as GPS-related technology is developed, the performance of the receiver was enhanced. And, in parallel with this, even the functionalities of the commercial software were tremendously enhanced. The difference, however, in result between the scientific and commercial software are still exist even if it is not big. Therefore, this study confirms that the scientific software should be used when the most precise position is necessary to be computed, especially if baseline vectors are big.

In this paper, requirements of GNSS receiver station installation are derived for optimizing the performance of network based GNSS precise positioning by concern of international organization(IGS, NGS) recommendation. Also a analysis method of network based GNSS precise positioning is suggested in order to evaluate the availability depending on various network configurations. To evaluate network candidates, a performance evaluation method is proposed for positioning of users according to a geometric configuration and the baseline distance. After the proposed method is used to Ochang region that is a the test area 6 network candidates are derived and the performance of positioning was analyzed. Finally, Ansung, Gongju, Eumsung, Boeun network configuration was selected as the best positioning performance. An optimal Receiving station network was selected using the proposed method.

Resolving the integer ambiguity of GPS carrier phase measurements is the most important routine in precise positioning. In this paper, success rate is analyzed when using baseline information in the process of determining attitude. The result is verified through the simulation. Determining the initial position for the ambiguity resolution is estimated by using code measurement and baseline constraint. Success rate is estimated using covariance of the formed initial position. UKF has been used to overcome the nonlinear baseline condition during the process so that the higher success rate has been obtained compared with the general attitude determination.

Impact of tropospheric correction techniques on accuracy of the GPS (Global Positioning System) derived ellipsoidal heights has been experimentally assessed in this paper. To this end, 247 baselines were constructed from a total of 88 CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations) in Korea. The GPS measurements for seven days, acquired from the so-called integrated GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) data center via internet connection, have been processed by two baseline processing software packages with an application of the empirical models, such as Hopfield, modified Hopfield and Saastamoinen, and the estimation techniques based on the DD (Double-Differenced) measurements and the PPP (Precise Point Positioning) technique; hence a total number of the baseline processed and tested was 8,645. Accuracy and precision of the estimated heights from the various correction schemes were analyzed about baseline lengths and height differences of the testing baselines. Details of these results are summarized with a view to hopefully providing an overall guideline of a suitable selection of the modeling scheme with respect to processing conditions, such as the baseline length and the height differences.

The correct estimation of the ionospheric delays is very important for the precise kinematic positioning especially in case of the long baseline. In case of triple frequency system, the ionospheric delays can be estimated from the measurements, but, in case of dual frequency system, the situation is not so simple. The precision of those supplied by the external information source such as IONEX is not sufficient. The high frequency component is neglected, and the precision of the low frequency component is not sufficient for the long baseline positioning. On the other hand, the high frequency component can be estimated from the phase range measurements. If the low frequency components are estimated by using the external information source or pseudo range measurements, a more reasonable estimation of the ionospheric delays may be possible. It has already been discussed by the author that the estimation of the low frequency components by using the external information source is not sufficient but fairly effective. The estimation using the pseudo range measurements is discussed in the present paper. The accuracy is not sufficient at present because of the errors in the pseudo range measurements. It is clarified that the bias errors in the pseudo range measurements are responsible for the poor accuracy of the ionospheric delays. However, if the accuracy of the pseudo range measurements is improved in future, the method would become very promising.
