We have experimentally investigated the eye margin characteristics of intensity modulated 10Gb/s NRZ signals in optically amplified systems depending on optical signal-to-noise ratio and chromatic dispersion. For the practical system application, the minimum optical signal-to-noise ratio was 25 dB. We utilized the negative chirped transmitter and a dispersion compensation fiber to compensate the chromatic dispersion in single mode fiber. We found the optimum eye opening and receiver sensitivity in case of the residual dispersion of 0~+935 ps/nm.

지도제작, 해양생태감시, 기상관측, 및 우주환경감시 등의 분야에 이용되는 저궤도 위성을 관제(위성추적, 원격측정 및 명령)하기 위해 본 논문에서는 최적의 PM 변조지수를 결정하는 방법을 기술하고 수신 데이터의 성능을 평가한다. 이 저궤도 위성인 아리랑 위성은 한국에서는 첫 번째 저궤도 위성이며 1999년 12월 발사되어 현재 임무를 충실히 수행하고 있다. 아리랑 위성 관제시스템의 파라미터에 의해 위성링크를 설계하면, PB 원격측정 신호의 최적 변조지수는 Eb/No마진과 PFD마진의 교차점이 되며 1.92라디안으로 결정된다. 또한 위성의 통과시간에 따라 예측되는 BER은 RT모드에서 최고의 성능을 나타애고, RT+RNG모드에서 최악의 성능을 나타내기 때문에 데이터 전송순서를 위성의 통과시간에 따른 BER 성능 순서인 RT, PB, RT+RNG모드의 순서로 결정함으로써 수신성능을 높일 수 있다.

Jamming is an important factor in the military satellite communication system. In this paper, link capacity and jamming margin of the DS-CDMA(Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access) military satellite communication system are analyzed and calculated under a multitone jamming. The analysis was performed with two types of transponders loaded on a geosynchronous satellite. Calculation methods for link capacity and jamming margin were obtained. The results of the analysis show that capacity of a transponder which does modulation/demodulation, decoding/encoding in addition to despreading/respeading is twice as much as that of a tranponder which does despreading /respreading only.

In this paper, the technical analyzing methodology has been suggested to preserve the same transmission quality of a M/W system used for FM broadcasting link after the frequency reallocation. The simulation was also performed for the actual M/W system operating in each frequency band, and its results were evaluated in terms of an availability based upon a fade margin. It was confirmed that only if the relative fade margin of more than 2.6 dB at 1700 MHz is provided, the equivalent service quality may be obtained regardless of the frequency reallocation. The suggested method will be expected to be widely used for accessing service quality of the M/W system concerned with the frequency reallocation.

The classical PCM/PSK/PM scheme has been commonly used for TC & R applications between satellites and ground stations in the S-band. We analyzed TC & R link performance between ground station and the geostationary satellite which employs PCM/PSK/PM, when the satellite are particularly on the Super Synchronous Transfer Orbit(SSTO). The satellite parameters on SSTO are assumed to be those operating on the geostationary orbit, considering heritage aspect. In the uplink, the results shown indicate that sufficient margins over 3 dB are obtained when the EIRP of ground station is greater than 65 dBW. The down link performance is of great interest. By adjusting the telemetry modulation index and ranging modulation index, we could obtain the required margin of 3.0 dB in the down link, and find out the minimum G/T of ground station. In conclusion, the previously operated ground stations during LEOP at COMS launch, can be operational when GEO injection is made using SSTO(65,000 km and 70,000 km).

A flight termination system, which consists of ground and vehicle systems, forcibly terminates flight if it is deemed dangerous. In order to accomplish this, the system should maintain the link reliability above a certain level throughout the whole flight. However, the national proving ground for guided missiles could not fully meet that condition because of the gradually improving performance criteria. In this paper, we have analyzed the link budget for the flight termination system. Furthermore, we have designed and developed an emergency destruction command transmitter system, which is a ground system of the flight termination system, to provide the necessary link margin. Afterwards, we measured the received signal strength at the vehicle system and compared it with that of the existing transmitter system. We hereby confirmed that the link reliability of the flight termination system improved.

천리안 위성 원격측정명령계 RF부는 위성 장착 이후 발사 전까지 여러 단계의 위성체레벨 기능시험을 거치며 요구 성능을 만족하는지를 충분히 확인하였다. 위성 발사후부터 정상궤도 진입 후에 발사전 원격측정명령계 RF가 원하는 요구 기능 및 성능을 만족하고 있는지를 확인하는 궤도운용시험이 수행되었다. 본 논문은 원격측정명령계 RF부의 궤도운용시험 계획에 따라 수행하여 얻어진 시험 결과에 대한 분석에 대한 것이다. 먼저 발사 후 LEOP 동안 원격명령이 정상적으로 수신되고 수행되는지 확인하였다. 그 이후 원격명령이 언락되는 수신 파워 임계(Threshold) 입력 레벨 확인을 확인하였으며 원격측정 다운링크 주파수 변이가 요구범위에 있는지 확인하였으며, 수신신호 스펙트럼 측정을 통해 TM EIRP를 추정한 결과 링크 버짓 마진 대비 추가적인 마진이 있음을 확인하였으며 또한 TM 송신 신호 변조지수가 추정범위 안에 있는지를 확인하였다. 그리고 레인징 시험을 통해 수신기 및 레인징 기능이 정상적으로 동작하고 있음을 확인하였다. 이 궤도운용시험 결과는 후속 정지궤도복합위성 원격측정명령계 RF부 궤도운용시험을 위한 비교 자료로 활용될 것이다.

Common data link systems are designed to transmit the imaginary and signal intelligence data at long distance air-ground line of sight(LOS) link. In this paper, we analyze the received power variation according to the communication distance of the common data link using curved earth 2-Ray model suitable for received signal power analysis of long distance air-ground wireless channel. We propose optimal elevation angle control method of the receiving antenna to reduce a power variation caused by ground-reflected wave. Proposed method can get additional link margin compared to the conventional method without any additional hardware performance enhancement.

The electro-magnetic wave propagates through the air in the terrestrial communications, but the acoustic wave propagates through the seawater in the underwater acoustic communication(UAC). It makes the differences between the UAC link and the well hon air communication links. In this paper, we have studied path loss, absorption and ambient noise of the ocean as a medium for UAC. We have analyzed the absorption coefficient and ambient noise level of the coastal area of South Korea and suggested a strategy for the selection of the frequency band by considering the absorption coefficient and ambient noise level. Also, we present an illustrative example of a link budget for the QPSK UAC system which has carrier frequency 25kHz, bit rate 10kbps, range 1km and BER $10^{-3}$ in the shallow water environment with an ideal AWGN assumption.

This paper describes playback downlink and telecommand uplink channel design performed for a transportable small-sized KOMPSAT(Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite) ground station. As a result of downlink channel design, required receiving performance was calculated from the threshold signal-to-noise ratio of playback signal and it was revealed that this performance can be guaranteed in 1.5 m ground station with 6.5 dB/K of G/T. For the uplink channel design, 40 dBW of EIRP was derived from the threshold signal-to-noise ratio of telecommand signal received at on-board receiver. The implemented small-sized ground station based on design was evaluated to be fully acceptable for KOMPSAT TT&C(Telemetry, Tracking and Command) system and playback downlink design without taking account of additional 3 dB system link margin was shown to be effective because it had provided constantly initial channel performance without any remarkable degradation over several years of tests with KOMPSAT and KOMPSAT-2, for both uplink and playback downlink in the elevation angle above $10^{\circ}$.
