초록

본 논문에서는 초소형 S-대역 PCM/FM 텔레메트리 송신기를 제안한다. 크기의 소형화로 한정적인 공간에 적용이 가능하며 운용 환경 및 시스템마다 다르게 설정되는 규격에도 안정적인 데이터 송신이 가능한 장비를 설계 및 제작하였다. 장비의 소형화를 위하여 RF 직접변환 구조를 적용하였으며, 최소한의 소자로 송신기의 역할을 수행할 수 있도록 1장의 인쇄회로기판에 RF송신반, 전원분배반, 신호처리반을 구현하였다. 목표한 규격대로 성능의 저하 없이 S-대역(2,200~2,400MHz)에서 1~10W의 출력 가변이 가능하고 390kbps~12.5Mbps의 Data Rate 설정이 가능하도록 설계 및 제작을 진행하였다. 설계 검증을 위하여 장비를 제작한 후 RF 성능 시험 및 비트오류율 측정 시험을 진행하였다. 본 장비는 IRIG (Inter-Range Instrumentation Group) 표준이 제시하는 PCM/FM 변조 신호의 OBW(Occupied Bandwidth), null-to-null 대역폭, 1st IMD(Inter Modulation Distortion), Spurious Emission, Phase Noise 특성이 만족함을 확인하였으며, 송신기 점검 장비를 이용하여 본 장비가 전달받은 Data를 왜곡 없이 정상적으로 송신함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose an ultra compact S-Band PCM/FM telemetry transmitter. The equipment is compact, so it can be applied to a limited space and capable of stable data transmission was designed and manufactured even with specifications set differently for each operating environment and system. RF direct conversion structure is used for the miniaturization of equipment, an RF transmission board, Power distribution board, and a signal processing board were implemented on a single PCB, so that the function of the transmitter could be performed with a minimum device. According to the target specification, variable output of 1~10W and variable data rate of 390kbps~12.5Mbps is possible in S-Band(2,200~2,400MHz) without degradation of performance. To verify the performance of the equipment, the RF performance test and BER measurement test were performed after the equipment was manufactured. It was confirmed that the OBW, null-to-null bandwidth, 1st IMD, Spurious emission, Phase noise specification of the PCM/FM modulated signal which is presented by the IRIG standard were satisfied, and we can confirm the data received using the transmitter inspection equipment were transmitted normally without distortion.
