Abstract

This study describes the design and implementation of SHF band Upconverter Digital Satellite Communication. The SHF band Upconverter unit consists of PLDROand frequency converter. In frequency converter, microstripBPF and LPF designed through the pre EMsimulation are implemented to minimize the unwanted spurious in frequency converter. Through the pre-simulation analysis ofspace environment, the possibility of and minimized about the malfunction of equipment and we designed a reliable SHF band Upconverter through simulation for a TID according to the vibration generated during the launch and space radiation environment, and compared pre-simulation of main performance results to test results about main performances of SHF band Upconverter after production.

본 연구는 디지털위성중계기용 SHF 대역 상향주파수변환장치의 설계 및 구현에 대해 기술하였다. SHF 대역 상향주파수변환장치는 PLDRO(: Phase Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) 및 주파수변환기로 구현된다. 주파수변환기 내부에는 불요파 최소화를 위하여 사전 EM 시뮬레이션을 통하여 설계한 Microstrip BPF(: Band Pass Filter) 및 LPF(: Low Pass Filter)로 구현하였다. 제작 전 우주환경에 대한 사전 시뮬레이션 분석을 통하여 장비 오동작 가능성을 최소하였으며, 발사환경 시 발생하는 진동 및 우주 방사능에 의한 TID(: Total Ionizing Dose)에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 신뢰성 있는 상향주파수변환장치를 설계하였으며, 제작 후 주요 성능지표에 대해 만족여부 확인 및 사전 성능 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였다.
