Abstract. The authors study accuracy characteristics (dilution of preсision) of an integrated navigation-and-time field in the terminal area created by GLONASS with its mobile pseudolite augmentation. A mobile pseudolite is placed onboard an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The purpose of the article is optimization of UAV flight path which will provide the best aircraft positioning accuracy. The problem of finding an optimal track for the UAV was solved using Hooke-Jeeves method for an aircraft approaching along a flexible track. The article presents the results of the conducted experiments as the UAV optimal flight paths and their charts built according to DOP values for cases of using stationary and mobile pseudolites. Practical recommendations on the choice of optimization criteria are given, and the conditions for using a mobile pseudolite placed on board an unmanned aerial vehicle are determined.

Keywords: pseudolite, mobile pseudolite, unmanned aerial vehicle, Position Dilution of Precision, GLONASS, optimization of flight trajectory, integrated navigation and time field.

The automation systems of surveillance and control of aerodrome traffic and air traffic management based on ADS-B

UDK 351.814.33 BBK 39.57-5

An equipment of functional augmentation automatically dependent surveillance-broadcasting are encouraged to include in the automation systems of surveillance and control of aerodrome traffic and automation systems of air traffic control. This augmentation to the equipment complexes allows estimating the error of the coordinates issued automatically by dependent surveillance – broadcasting and to compensate in case of its slow changing. The information from the satellite radio navigation system is not taken into account in case of a rapid change in the error characteristics which are not allowing for sufficiently accurate compensation.

Keywords: SRNS, ADS-B, error, aircraft movement, air traffic control, automation.

Signal demodulation for the secondary radar channel of ADS–B system

UDC 621.396.74 BBK 39.571.5

Lezhankin B. V., Mezhetov M. A., Turincev S. V.

Aircraft flight safety is largely dependent on the performance of systems having various purposes. One of the systems is ADS-B intended for air traffic management by constructing trajectories of aircraft motion with efficient use of airspace. The analysis of main methods of designing the equipment, demodulating and decoding the signals in data links is therefore a relevant objective which can increase the efficiency of air transportation at the required level of flight safety.   

Key words: ADS-B, systems of symbol synchronization, quadrature demodulator, quadrature signal, hardware-software receiver, preamble detector.

Extraction of run-up signals in systems of information communication in VDL-2 mode

UDC 621.396.74 BBK 39.571.5

Mezhetov M. A., Turincev S. V.

Air-to-air and air-to-ground automated data exchange systems are increasingly common. Automated data exchange (ADE) in such systems is conducted in VHF band with the use of VDL-2 или VDL-4 modes. The design of ADE receivers implies a clock sync (CS) circuit in their composition which can be constructed differently. A run-up signal in such systems is extracted digitally.  One of the factors influencing the quality if received information in VDL-2 systems is selection of a technique of run-up signal regeneration.  

The article considers a technique of run-up signal regeneration with use of front reconstruction which is implemented in a hardware-software receiver developed by the authors. Research of CS regeneration principles will enable to conduct a comparative analysis of different techniques of extracting and forming a run-up signal and to apply the hardware-software receiver for further research.

Key words: VDL-2, clock sync systems, Gardner detector, scrambler, quadrature components, hardware-software receiver.

Precision of the secondary processing algorithm of navigation signals of the global navigation satellite system based on rho-rho navigation-doppler extended Kalman filter

UDC 621.396.98 BBK 39.57-5

Kiryushkin V. V., Suprunov A. V.

The authors conduct a research of the error dynamics of the algorithm of the secondary processing of navigation signals of the global navigation satellite system based on extended Kalman filter. The article shows that at the stages of intense maneuvering the accuracy of a certain positioning of a highly dynamic consumer increases to 1.5 times. Presumably the reason for this is the mismatch of the dynamic model of the object, embedded in the optimal linear filter and real dynamics of users’ movements.

Key words: global navigation satellite system, highly fluid consumer, extended Kalman filter, measurement error of coordinates.
