In the conventional RTK (Real Time Kinematics), carrier phase measurements should be collected for several minutes in stationary state in order to determine the IA (Integer Ambiguity) in carrier phase to get the precise position. To determine the IA in motion, several OTM-RTK (On-The-Move RTK) methods have been proposed using vehicle dynamics or augmenting additional sensors. This paper presents a new OTM-RTK technique to determine the IA without aids of external sensors for precise positioning of highly maneuvering ground vehicles. In the proposed technique, the initial IA is determined fast by estimating precise position change during epochs using dual frequency carrier phase measurements. Therefore, IA determination of the proposed method is not influence by vehicle dynamics. By field experiment, performance of the proposed technique is analyzed including IA determination time according to vehicle dynamics and the number of visible SV.

In this study, we propose a method to remove bio-signal distortions generated when the power is at transient condition in a high-powered portable medical device. To verify the method, three units were designed that consists of a main control unit, bio-signal measurement unit, and power unit. Also, each units were separated with galvanic isolation. For stable operation at the surge condition, the power unit was composed using push-pull converter topology. The design has been examined in both transient and steady state of the operating conditions. The experiment result shows that galvanic isolation between each units was efficient in high-powered potable medical device.
