This paper describes the downlink design of a transportable small-sized KOMPSAT ground station using sub-carrier signal. Based on the analysis of the transmission modes of satellite real-time telemetry and range measurement signals, the downlink channel design of KOMPSAT ground station using sub-carrier signal was processed. By considering the threshold signal-to-noise ratio of real-time 2 kbps telemetry signal and the required signal-to-noise ratio for satellite range measurement, the small-sized KOMPSAT downlink channel with G/T value of 6.5 dB/K was designed. The real G/T of implemented ground station was proven to be 6.62 dB/K when measured using the Sun. Moreover, through interface test with KOMPSAT, the ground station has shown the required link performance for real-time telemetry acquisition using sub-carrier and was consequently evaluated to be adequate for a transportable small-sized KOMPSAT ground station.

In this paper, we studied on-board antenna(primary link/secondary link/satellite link) used in UAV Data-link system. As a result, it is ideal to configure the Data-link as a triple link to secure the flight stability of the UAV, but the communication link should be configured according to the operating platform. As a result of overseas R&D trend analysis, the on-board Data-link antenna is installed and operated in a location where it is easy to secure LOS. The primary link consists of a directional antenna for basic operation and an omni-directional antenna for emergency operation. The secondary link uses a monopole/dipole antenna in the UHF/C band. Satellite link has been developed to apply phased array antenna to improve UAV operability.

A high speed data link capability is one of the critical factors in determining the performance of the spaceborne SAR system with high resolution. It is due to the strict requirement for the real-time data transmission from a series of massive raw image data of spaceborne SAR to the ground station in a limited time of mission. In this paper, based on the data link model characterized by the spaceborne small SAR system, the high rate multi-channel data link module is designed including link storage, link processor, transmitter, and wide-angle antenna. The design results are presented with the performance analysis on the data link budget as well as the multi-mode data rate in association with the SAR imaging mode of operation from high resolution to the wide swath.

In this paper, we programed the PPP(Point-to-Point Protocol) used in embedded application environments for Globalstar Satellite Modem. There are number of satellite communication systems such as Orbcomm, Globalstar, Inmarsat and etc. But each satellite data service have provided a communication interface only for their own data links. A data communication link is needed to communicate with Globalstar satellite service. Globalstar communication system uses PPP to establish data communication link, so we implemented the embedded processor based PPP protocol. The user terminal equipment also designed in this paper has various input/output devices and sensors applicable to any user specific application. The proposed PPP program works well with Globalstar data communication link through experimental tests.

A conceptual design on the link budget of TC&R RF subsystem which transfers command and telemetry data as RF signal between the ground system and the 2005SAT spacecraft is presented in this paper. In order to perform the analysis of the link budget, we divided the analysis process into two processes, i.e., uplink and downlink process. For the uplink the power flux density at the spacecraft and the margin of the command receiver are calculated. In the case of the downlink the downlink EIRP and the margin of C/ No and Eb / No at the ground station are calculated. Through the uplink performance analysis, the power at the command receiver has well efficient margin, and the margin of C/ No and Eb / No is also fully proper for the downlink case.

저궤도 위성은 지상과의 접축시간이 극히 제한되어 있어 위성에서 생성된 원격측정 데이터들을 위성의 대용량 메모리에 저장하였다가 지상과의 접촉시간에 저장된 데이터를 지상으로 전송하는 방식으로 운영된다. 위성에 저장할 수 있는 전체 데이터 크기는 대용량 메모리의 크기와 지상과의 통신 가용시간에 따라 제한을 받게 된다. 대용량 메모리 저장용량과 다운링크 버짓을 만족해야 하므로 일반적으로 각 탑재체로부터 수신하여 위성에 저장되는 원격측정 데이터들은 종류별로 일정한 주기를 가지게 되고 그 크기도 고정되어 있다. 그리고 각 데이터 종류별로 저장여부를 지상명령으로 조절할 수 있도록 되어 있다. 그러나 생성되는 데이터가 일정하지 않고 비주기성을 갖는 경우 데이터량을 예측할 수 없으므로 지상명령으로 데이터 저장여부를 제어하는 것은 거의 불가능하다. 이러한 경우에 생성되는 데이터량을 모니터링하면서 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 자동화된 데이터 통신 방식이 요구된다. 본 논문은 저궤도 위성 탑재체에서 비주기적으로 생성되는 데이터를 자동으로 전송받기 위한 데이터 자동 전송기능과 시험 결과에 대해서 기술하였다.

Han's model, which is able to analyze optical communication between earth station and geo-satellite as a function of atmospheric conditions and elevation angles. is presented. In Han's model, atmospheric conditions are roughly classified into six basic types; clear sky, cloud, haze, fog, rain and snow. Data rate satisfying for the BER below $10^{-7}$ is analyzed by Han's model in case of up-link and down-link, respectively. Data rate is more limited by up-link than by down-link because the pointing loss caused by atmosphere on the up-link is greater than the spatial coherence degradation caused by atmosphere on the down-link.

ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) recommends the introduction of SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) in 2025, which provides GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) correction data and the ranging signal via GEO (geostationary earth orbit) satellites to GNSS users. In this paper, we present the basic design results of the satellite communication system RF link for the Korean SBAS systems, KASS (Korea Augmentation Satellite System) which is going on the development & implementation. KASS RF link was designed in consideration of both the C-band and Ku-band uplinks to meet the international standard requirements for the SBAS system, and identified the minimum EIRP and G/T performance of the KASS uplink station for each frequency band. These analysis results for the RF link design are expected to be used for an effective design of the subsystem specifications for KASS satellite communication system.

In recent space industry, It has become a major trend to launch lunar exploration satellites to extend activities in the deep space environment. In this paper, a link budget analysis is carried out for the lunar exploration satellite. One of the major difference between the lunar satellite and LEO spacecraft lies in the orbit parameters. The vast distance between spacecraft and the Earth station imposes a challenging task for the spacecraft designers in terms of achieving stable communication link budget. The satellite tool kit software has been adopted to simulate the lunar exploring satellite. The relative distance between the spacecraft and the ground stations are tracked and the communication link budget is calculated accordingly.
