The quality loss of a X-band transmitter has been derived by means of MC simulation. The transmitter as a payload of LEO(Low Earth Orbit) satellite is capable of the down transmission the image data of hundreds Mbps generated from the Electro-Optical Instrument in real time. The parameters such as data asymmetry amplitude unbalance,phase unbalance, wave shaping and channel interference are included in the quality loss simulation Assuming that normally distributed gaussian noise is simply added to the channel, the quality loss of 0.7 dB has been obtained through this simulation based on a 95% confidence interval. The obtained quality loss can be applied to the link budgets as an additional loss item.

In this paper, we evaluate and analyze representative estimation methods for the sparse channel. In order to evaluate error performance of matching pursuit(MP) and minimum mean square error(MMSE) algorithm, lower bound of MMSE is determined by Cramer-Rao bound and compared with upper bound of MP. Based on analysis of those bounds, mean square error of MP which is effective in the estimation of sparse channel can be larger than that of MMSE according to the number of estimated tap and signal-to-noise ratio. Simulation results show that the performances of both algorithm are reversed on the sparse channel with Rayleigh fading according to signal-to-noise ratio.

In this paper, singly fed circularly polarized nearly-square patch antenna for receiving S-DMB is presented. It used teflon substrate of relative dielectric constant ${\in}_{\gamma}=2.2$ and the sire is $40{\times}40{\times}15[mm]$. Experimental results of fabricated antenna show that input return loss and axial ratio are about 22MHz, 25MHz at the center resonant frequency, respectively. And fabricated LNA has gain of 27.5 [dB], NF of 1.27 [dB], input return loss of -15.4 [dB] and output return loss of -18.9 dB, respectively. Simulation results and experimental results are good agreements. This proposed antenna is well able to handheld gadgets for receiving S-DMB.

This paper describes the RF(Radio Frequency) interference on the GNSS receiver due to the S-band signals transmitted from the transmitters in the Test Launch Vehicle, and analyzes the cause of the RF interference. Due to the S-band signals that have relatively high power levels compared with GNSS signals, an LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) in the active GNSS antenna was saturated, and the intermodulation signal within GNSS in-bands was produced in the LNA whenever two S-band signals were received from the GNSS antenna. For these reasons, the C/N0 of the satellite signals in the GNSS receiver was attenuated severely. The design of the LNA was changed in order to protect the RF interference due to the S-band signals and the suppression capability of the RF interference was confirmed in the new LNA through the comparison of the old LNA.

본 논문에서는 좀더 효율적이고 소형화한 GPS(Global Positioning System)용 안테나와 LNA(Low Noise Amplifier)를 IMT-2000 단말기에 내장함으로써 개인 휴대 통신 기능과 더불어 좀 더 정확한 위치추적 기능을 동시에 가능케 하고자 한다. 중심 주파수 1.575 GHz의 저잡음 증폭기와 안테나의 크기는, 합쳐서 10$\times$10$\times$4 (mm)로서 상층은 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나이고, 중간층은 안테나 ground와 LNA ground의 공통 ground이며, 제일 아래층에는 LNA가 위치하게 된다. LNA 의 경우 2단을 중첩하여, 첫째 단 16dB, 둘째 단 18dB의 이득 특성을 보였는데 첫째, 둘째 단의 대역통과 필터에서 삽입손실로 3dB의 손실을 가져와 총 3dB의 이득 특성을 보였다. 잡음 특성은 약 1.9의 특성을 보였다. 안테나의 경우 9$\times$9$\times$$\times$2 (mm)로써, 고유전율( $\varepsilon$$_{r}$ = 73 )의 세라믹을 사용하여 그 크기를 상당부분 줄였다. 그리고 유전체 밑의 ground를 옆면까지 높임으로써 좀 더 소형화한 안테나를 가능케 하였다. 고유전율의 유전체를 사용하였기에 안테나 자체의 이득 특성은 저잡음 증폭기에서 보상하고, 안테나의 임피던스 정합 또한 LNA의 입력 쪽에서 하도록 하였다. 또한 위성신호 수신을 위해 안테나는 RHCP 의 원형편파 특성을 갖는다.

In order to operate Low Earth Orbit(LEO) satellite on space, technical requirements and administrative procedure which are defined by the International Telecommunication Union(ITU) should be followed on satellite development. Main technical requirements to follow are purpose of use, bandwidth, Radio Frequency(RF) intensity, and constraints on new satellite network about existing satellite networks according to frequency spectrum. Such ITU's requirements are reflected and designed on system specification and space to ground interface control document. In order to have a right and protection about using the satellite network on space, the satellite network has to be registered on Master International Frequency Register(MIFR) and procedure for this has to be followed. Coordination with countries raising objection is needed in order to register. And reference and method for coordination are also needed.

중간 및 하부 대규권의 열적 상태에 대한 결과들의 상대적인 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 대기대순환 모델의 재분석(1980-93년) 그리고 세 종류의 위성관측 자료들(1980-97년)을 태평양, 한반도 부근에 대한 시.공간 분석으로 상호 비교하였다. 중간 대류권 온도를 반영하는 위성자료는 본 연구에서 유도된 Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) 채널2 직하점 밝기온도(MSU2)와 Spencer and Christy(1992a)가 전체 주사자료를 사용하여 유도된 채널2 밝기 온도(SC2)이고, 하부 대류권 온도를 반영하는 위성자료는 Spencer and Christy(1992a)가 유도한 것이다(SC2R). 또한, 모델 자료는 ECMWF 재분석 온도이며, 위성관측 자료와의 비교를 위하여 재구성되었다. 한편, 각 위.경도 격자에서 위성관측과 모델 재분석의 월평균 값들의 상관도 전구적으로 조사하였다. 세 종류의 관측 자료들 간의 상관은 중.고위도에서 높았으나(r$\geq$0.9), 저위도 그리고 대류가 활발한 열대 서태평양 및 콩고강 부근에서 낮았다(r~0.65). 특히 SC2R에 대한 다른 자료의 상관이 상대적으로 낮았다. 이는 하부 대류권의 열적 상태를 반영하는 SC2R이 수적 및 지표방출의 영향으로 잡음을 크게 내포하기 때문인 것으로 추정되었다. 관측들과 모델 온도에 대한 월평균과 아노말리 값의 분석에서 시.공간 변동은 대체로 유사하였다. 관측 및 모델 자료는 열대 태평양 이외의 지역에 대한 월평균 값 모드1에서 연주기를 보였으나, 열대 태평양의 경우 모드2에서 보였다. 열대 태평양의 MSU2 모드1은 Walker 순환에 의한 동.서 대비를 보인 반면, 다른 위성관측과 모델 자료에서는 이러한 형태가 현저하지 않았다. 이 지역의 아노말리 값 모드2에서 위성관측들은 엘리뇨 기간에 적도를 중심으로 열대 동태평양 부근에서 아령모양의 대칭 형태를 보였으나 모델 결과에서는 이러한 특징이 약하였다. 관측과 모델 모두는 열대 태평양에 대한 아노말리 값의 모드 1,2에서 엘니뇨와 라니냐에 의한 경년변동을 뚜렷하게 보였다.

The Cube Satellite Contest has been held six times as of August 2023, and a total of 21 teams have been selected. Fifteen Cube Satellites selected in previous contests were successfully launched and entered into low-Earth orbit. The six Cube Satellites selected in the sixth contest in 2022 are currently undergoing detailed design, and are scheduled to be launched in 2025 using a Korean launch vehicle. In this study, we analyzed the initial operation reports submitted by the selected teams of the Cube Satellite Contest in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 to assess mission performance and identify causes of mission failure. Based on the submitted reports, an improvement scheme to enhance mission success for future Cube Satellites is proposed.

In this paper, we propose a system model that predicts the original signal transmitted from the transmitter using the received signal in the power line communication system based on the multi - layer perceptron which is one of the machine learning algorithms. Power line communication system using communication system using power network has more noise than communication system using general communication line. It causes a problem that the performance of the power line communication system is degraded. In order to solve this problem, the communication system model proposed in this paper minimizes the influence of noise through original signal prediction and mitigates the performance degradation of the power line communication system. In this paper, we prove that the original signal is predicted by applying the proposed communication system model to the white noise environment.

A low phase noise EQM(Engineering Qualified Model) LO(Local Oscillator) has been developed for Ka-band satellite transponder. A VCDRO(Voltage Controlled Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) is also designed using a high impedance inverter coupled with dielectric resonator to improve the phase noise performances out of the loop bandwidth. The mechanical analysis fur housing and the thermal analysis fur circuit board are achieved. This EQM LO is applied to Ka-band satellite transponder of EQM level after environmental experiments for space application. The LO has the harmonic suppression characteristics above 52 ㏈c and requires low power consumption under 1.3 watts. The phase noise characteristics are exhibited as -101.33 ㏈c/㎐ at 10 ㎑ offset frequency and -114.33 ㏈c/㎐ at 100 ㎑ offset frequency, with the output power of 14.0 ㏈m${\pm}$0.17 ㏈ over the temperature range of -15∼＋65$^{\circ}C$.
