Abstract

At COMS SOC, 13m antenna system will serve to transmit command and receive telemetry in S-Band for COMS operation. In addition, Sensor Data and LRIT/HRIT in L-Band will be received and LRIT/HRIT in S-Band will be transmitted through this antenna system. In many cases, G/T is used as barometer to estimate the receiving capability of antenna system. To estimate G/T, this paper presents two approaches, one is analysis based on the specification of antenna and RF equipment while the other is measurement by using Sun. From the results, G/T was proven as more than 20dB/K and it means that the required G/T, 19dB/K is verified successfully.
