The Electrical Power System (EPS) shall supply required power to maintain spacecraft and payload during the mission. The EPS sizing are based on space environment, satellite mission and lifetime, and allocated budgets. The type of the primary and secondary power is determined according to satellite design-level and allocated subsystem budgets. The design of EPS has closely related to system and others' subsystems design. To supply the sufficient power to the satellite, the implementation of the larger power source and energy storage is impossible actually. And there will be some problems of the attitude control of the satellite, the handling power capability of the electronic boxes, and launch vehicle selection caused by EPS oversizing. Also, the thermal control is not easy in the space by extra power. And the maintenance of the satellite within the specific orbit from orbit-drag is a big design burden of the thruster. So the various technologies have been developed to optimize the EPS sizing and to operate the power system efficiently.

Telecommunication satellite consists of a bus system and an RF payload system with high efficiency and high gain reflector antennas. Antenna measurement and also RF system performance (antenna under test, payload and satellite level) have to be evaluated enough before launching in the far-field range or equivalent test range. Basically far-field range is required in a range from two hundred meters to several kilo meters, and it is highly constrained to the externa1 environment, like the RF and the whether environment So the compact antenna test range is developed and used efficiently without external environments as in-door facility. This paper describes the configuration of the compact antenna test range, the range error, and the physical concept of the plane wave illumination Also, it provides a overall design of the anechoic chamber and range parameter values to accommodate the precision measurements in antenna test range.

This paper deals with finite element analysis for free vibration and forced sinusoidal vibration of Ka- and Ku- band antenna structures using MSC/NASTRAN. The structures are designed to satisfy minimum resonance frequency requirement in order to decouple the dynamic interaction of the satellite antenna with the spacecraft bus structure. The large mass method was utilized to analyze output acceleration according to the forced sinusoidal vibration inputs in X-, Y- and Z- directions. The analysis results can also be used thor verification experimental planning of satellite antenna.

This research presents the design and analysis of PCDU(Power Control & Distribution Unit) of communication satellite. The PCDU of a spacecraft must provide adequate power to each subsystem and payload during mission life, and it also needs high reliability and performance in space environment. A control circuit of the PCDU include bus sensing and filter circuits, error signal amplification circuit, error compensation circuit of SAS(Shunt Assembly Switch) and BPC(Battery Power Converter). The phase margin and DC gain for the designed circuits are analyzed through the frequency response characteristics of the compensated control circuit. And also the transfer function of the battery power converter circuit are discussed at the battery CCCM(Charge Continuous Conduction Mode) and battery C/DCCM(Continuous/Discontinuous Conduction Mode).

LEO satellites have many heaters for thermal control, such as bus module heaters, payload heaters and battery internal heaters. Some of these heaters are controlled by thermisters, and others can be controlled by flight software. These heaters are divided into various types of group according to the location, telemetry variables, flight software logic, power distribution, etc. Thus, it is difficult to find out which heaters are included in a certain group and modify heater control logic for a new/other software developers. This document describes about the general/special control logic for satellite heaters and groups/arrays for heaters.

Weinberg 컨버터는 입출력 전류 리플이 작아 필터 사이즈가 작고, 스위치 및 다이오드가 소프트 스위칭을 하여 높은 효율을 갖는 장점으로 인해 정지궤도 위성용 배터리 방전 조절기와(Battery Discharge Regulator, BDR) 같이 높은 전력밀도 및 높은 효율을 요구하는 제품에 유용한 승압형 컨버터이다. 최근 정지궤도 위성의 큰 전력 요구사양에 맞춰 버스 전압 사양이 커지면서 Weinberg 컨버터는 몇 가지 문제점을 갖게 되었다. 첫째 다이오드의 큰 순 방향 전압 강하로 인해 도통 손실이 증가한다. 둘째 다이오드의 기생 커패시터와 누설 인덕턴스간의 공진으로 인한 전압 맥동이 심화되면서 EMI 특성이 악화된다. 셋째 스위치 턴-오프 시 발생하는 큰 출력 전류 스파이크로 인해 출력 필터 크기가 커진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 추가 스위치 및 커패시터를 이용해 다이오드 차단시 그 전압을 기존보다 크게 낮춤으로 써 도통 손실 개선 및 EMI 특성 개선을 하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 출력 필터 사이즈 저감을 위해 출력 전류 리플을 줄일 수 있는 추가 스위치의 적절한 구동 방법에 대해 제안한다. 제안하는 컨버터는 더욱 높은 전력 밀도 및 효율을 얻을 수 있어 차세대 정지궤도 위성용 BDR에 적합하다. 본 컨버터는 100V/750W의 출력전압/전력을 갖는 시작품을 통해 그 유효성을 검증하였다.

위성은 위성의 상태제어를 위한 명령부와 해당 명령이 기능대로 수행된 것을 확인하기 위한 상태정보 획득부로 구성된다. 명령부는 위성의 버스 플랫폼에 따라서 다양한 구조 (전압, 전류, 펄스폭, 형태등)를 갖지만, 상태정보획득은 명령부에 비해서 공통적인 특성을 갖게 된다. 또한 명령부는 +17V 또는 +28V등의 고전압, 고전류의 요구조건이 필요하지만, 상태정보 획득은 아날로그용 (+15V or +12V)또는 디지털용 (+5V)로 전압과 전류조건이 명령부에 비해서 요구조건이 완화된다. 상태정보획득은 relay 상태를 획득하는 matrix 구조로된 TM matrix와 아날로그 전압 상태정보를 단일채널을 통해 획득하는 Analog 단일 채널부와 정밀한 아날로그 정보 획득을 위한 차등 Analog 채널부, 기준전압과의 비교를 통한 이진상태부와 정전류를 통한 Thermistor 상태정보 획득부로 구성이 된다. 본 논문에서는 $16{\times}8$ matrix로 구성된 TM matrix 획득부와 300채널의 단일채널 아날로그 전압 획득부, 64채널 차등 아날로그 전압획득부 및 64채널 이진상태 획득부와 16채널로 구성된 정전류 thermistor 아날로그 상태정보 획득부의 구현 방법 및 프로세서보드와의 접속을 위한 UART 접속구조등에 대한 내용과 보드 사이즈 제약사항등의 구현에 대한 개발에 대해서 평가하고자 한다.

The satellite includes many release mechanisms such as solar array deployment, antenna deployment, cover to protect contamination in scientific equipment, pyro value of the propulsion subsytem, and bypass device in Li-Ion cell module. A drive the initiators is a critical to the successful mission because the initiators of release mechanism driving by the pyrotechnic circuit is operated in single short. The pyrotechnic circuit has to provide switching network for safety. A typical switching network has defect consisting of high current rating fire switch to handle switching transient current during fire the initiator. The pyrotechnic circuit is required some form of power conditioning to reduce the peak power demanded from the bus if the initiators are to be fired from the main bus. This paper design a pyrotechnic circuit synchronized to the fire-command to activate the fire switch to overcome use high current rating fire switch to handle switching transient current during fire the initiator. The pyrotechnic circuit provides a current limited widow pulse for fire current synchronized to the fire-command to insure that fire switch will only carry the current but never switch it. The current limited widow pulse for fire current can be possible to use low current rating and light mass switch in switching network. The current limit function in the pyrotechnic circuit reduces supply voltage to initiator and provides the effect of power conditioning function to reduce peak bus power. The pyrotechnic circuit to apply satellite development on geostationary orbit is verified the function by test in development model.
