Abstract
STSAT-2 is first satellite which is scheduled to launch by first Korea launcher. Ground station Baseband Controller(GBC) for operating STSAT-2 is now developing. GBC control data flow path between satellite operation computers and ground station antennas and count number of received data packets among demodulated audio signals from three antennas and also set data flow path to good-receiving antenna automatically In GBC two uplink FSK modulators(1.2kbps, 9.6kbps) and six downlink FSK demodulators(9.6kbps, 38.4kbps) are embedded. STSAT-2 GBC hardware is more simpler than STSAT-1 GBC by using FPGA in which all digital logic implemented. Now test and debugging of GBC hardware and Software(FPGA Code and CBC Manager Program) is well progressing in SaTReC, KAIST. This paper introduce GBC structure, functions and test results.
