Abstract

The satellite antenna for collecting information is mainly classified into reflector antenna, lens antenna, and phased array antenna. Among them, the phased array antenna with the excellent antenna pattern control performance for a multi-beam system is frequently used. Although the terrestrial signal information collection based on the satellite is not much effected geographically, it requires the accurate angle-of-arrival (AOA) information of the interesting signal. In this paper, we discuss the characteristics and the advantages/disadvantages of the antenna array shape employed in the phased array antenna. In addition, we present the Cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on a square array antenna mounted on the satellite receiver, and show the performance evaluation results through the computer simulation.

인공위성을 통한 정보수집은 위성에 탑재된 안테나를 기반으로 수행되는데, 위성 안테나는 크게 반사판 안테나, 렌즈 안테나, 위상배열 안테나로 분류된다. 이 중 다중빔 시스템 등의 안테나 패턴 조절 기능이 우수한, 위상배열 안테나가 많이 사용되는 추세이다. 위성 기반의 지상 신호정보 수집은 지리적 영향을 적게 받는 효율성을 가지나, 정확한 신호의 도래각 정보가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 위상배열 안테나에 사용되는 안테나 배열형상에 대한 특징 및 장단점을 고찰한다. 또한, 위성 수신단에 탑재된 정방배열 안테나 기반의 캐스케이드 도래각 추정 알고리즘을 소개하고, 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능평가 결과를 제시한다.
