Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed linkbudget with comparing actual received level of telemetry system at Palau Tracking Station. Because Palau Tracking Station participated in the launch mission for the first time and lack of verification tests for antenna tracking and signal reception performance, we analyzed the linkbudget more accurately by predicting transmit antenna polarization gain according to the trajectory and attitude of launch vehicle. The analysis results were used to analyze signal reception range, antenna operation angle and LHCP/RHCP received level. The actual received level of the antenna was similar to the linkbudget result as a result of the launch mission operation.

본 논문에서는 팔라우추적소 원격자료수신장비 링크버짓 결과를 예측하고 실제 신호수신레벨과 비교 분석하였다. 팔라우추적소는 발사 임무에 처음으로 참여하였으며, 지리적 특성상 비행시험 등 안테나 추적 및 신호 수신 성능에 대한 검증 시험에 어려움이 있어 발사체 궤도 및 자세각에 따른 송신 안테나 편파별 이득 값의 변화를 예측하여 보다 정확하게 링크버짓을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 팔라우추적소 신호 수신 가능 구간, 안테나 구동각도와 좌현/우현 편파 예상 수신레벨 분석에 활용되었고, 발사임무 운용 결과 안테나 실제 수신레벨은 링크버짓 결과와 유사함을 확인하였다.
