Abstract
AbstractApplications requiring outdoor position estimation, such as unmanned construction and delivery automation, focus on receiving global navigation satellite system (GNSS) correction information from satellites for high-precision positioning. In particular, the delivery of correction information for the Galileo high-accuracy service (HAS) and quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS) centimeter-level augmentation service (CLAS) is based on a new frequency band called L6. The L6 signal is a new type of GNSS signal, and a GNSS antenna corresponding to the frequency of the L6 signal (1275.46 MHz) is required to receive and decode the correction messages. The reception characteristics of the L6 signal are important for receiving correction information. However, the reception performance of antennas supporting the new L6 signal has not been evaluated. Therefore, in this study, we evaluate the reception characteristics of the L6 signal of a compact and lightweight L6-compatible antenna, and the multipath characteristics, which are the fundamental performance of the antenna that affects high-precision positioning. In a 24-hour static test, each antenna’s signal reception performance and multipath characteristics were evaluated, and significant differences were found in performance among the antennas capable of receiving the L6 signal. Furthermore, in a kinematic test, we evaluated high-accuracy positioning using QZSS CLAS with multiple antennas and showed that centimeter-level positioning using L6 augmentation signals is possible even with compact and lightweight GNSS antennas. These evaluations provide guidelines for antenna selection when high-precision positioning using L6 signals is employed in various applications.
