초록

RFTS(Radio Frequency Test Set)은 저궤도 위성과 정지궤도 위성의 AI&T 기간 동안 TC&R RF 서브시스템을 검증하는 필수 장비이다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 RFTS의 상세 설계 내용을 제시하는데 기존의 RFTS와 달리 위성 프로젝트 별 시험 수행 시 수정 없이 바로 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 하드웨어와 소프트웨어는 이를 만족하도록 설계 되었고 기능 별 모듈화와 상용품 사용의 확장으로 보다 손쉬운 제어와 운용이 될 수 있도록 하였으며 시스템의 신뢰성 향상을 가져오도록 하였다. 또한 보다 정확한 기준 클락을 채택하여 RF 측정에 대한 신뢰도를 높였다.

Radio Frequency Test Set (RFTS) is essential to verify Telemetry, Command & Ranging (TC&R) RF subsystem of both Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite during Assembly Integration & Test (AI&T). The existing RFTS was specialized for each project and needed to be modified for each new satellite. The new design enables RFTS to be used in various projects. The hardware and software was designed considering this and therefore it could be directly used in other projects within a similar test period without modification or inconvenience. It will be also easily controlled, modified, and managed through the extension in modularization according to each function and the use of COTS (commercial on-the-self) and this will improve system reliability. A more reliable RF test measurement is also provided in this new RFTS by using an accurate reference clock signal.
