This paper investigates the potential vertical guidance performance of global positioning system (GPS)/wide area augmentation system (WAAS) user avionics sensor when the modernized GPS and Galileo are available. This paper will first investigate the airborne receiver code noise and multipath (CNMP) confidence (σair). The σair will be the dominant factor in the availability analysis of an L1-L5 dual-frequency GPS/WAAS user avionics sensor. This paper uses the MATLAB Algorithm Availability Simulation Tool (MAAST) to determine the required values for the σair, so that an L1-L5 dual-frequency GPS/WAAS user avionics sensor can meet the vertical guidance requirements of APproach with Vertical guidance (APV) II and CATegory (CAT) I over conterminous United States (CONUS). A modified MAAST that includes the Galileo satellite constellation is used to determine under what user configurations WAAS could be an APV II system or a CAT I system over CONUS. Furthermore, this paper examines the combinations of possible improvements in signal models and the addition of Galileo to determine if GPS/WAAS user avionics sensor could achieve 10 m Vertical Alert Limit (VAL) within the service volume. Finally, this paper presents the future vertical guidance performance of GPS user avionics sensor for the United States' WAAS, Japanese MTSAT-based satellite augmentation system (MSAS) and European geostationary navigation overlay service (EGNOS).
本文研究了现代 GPS 和伽利略系统可用时全球定位系统 (GPS)/广域增强系统 (WAAS) 用户航空电子传感器的潜在垂直引导性能。本文首先研究了机载接收机码噪声和多径 (CNMP) 置信度 (σair)。在 L1-L5 双频 GPS/WAAS 用户航空电子传感器的可用性分析中,σair 将是主要因素。本文使用 MATLAB Algorithm Availability Simulation Tool (MAAST) 确定所需的 σair 值,以便 L1-L5 双频 GPS/WAAS 用户航空电子传感器能够满足 APproach with Vertical guidance (APV) II 和 CATegory (CAT) I 在整个美国(CONUS)的垂直引导要求。使用包含伽利略卫星星座的修改后的 MAAST 来确定在什么用户配置下 WAAS 可以成为 CONUS 上的 APV II 系统或 CAT I 系统。此外,本文还研究了信号模型的可能改进和伽利略的添加的组合,以确定 GPS/WAAS 用户航空电子传感器是否可以在服务区内达到 10 m 垂直告警限 (VAL)。最后,本文介绍了美国 WAAS、日本基于 MTSAT 的卫星增强系统 (MSAS) 和欧洲地球静止导航重叠服务 (EGNOS) 的 GPS 用户航空电子传感器的未来垂直引导性能。
