침수 피해지에 대한 신속하고 정확한 지도의 제작은 홍수피해 관리와 예방을 위한 중요한 자료로 사용된다. 타 위성영상에 비하여 기상조건에 관계없이 영상자료의 획득이 용이한 레이더 영상을 이용하여 홍수피해 분석을 위한 활용 가능성을 파악하고자 하였다. 1999년 여름 경기동 북부 지역에 발생한 홍수 사상을 사례지로 하여 C-band RADARSAT 위성영상을 촬영되었는데, 침수 시점인 8월 4일 영상과 그 전후 영상을 포함하여 네 시기의 영상을 이용하였다. 영상의 기하학적 보정, 잡음의 최소화, 방사보정 등의 처리 과정을 거친 후 네 시기의 영상에서 나타나는 논의 시기별 레이더반사신호의 변화를 분석하였다. 수면, 논, 밭, 산림 등의 다양한 지표물의 시기별 반사신호를 분석한 결과, 침수되었던 논에서 뚜렷한 반사신호의 차이를 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 홍수 이후의 영상인 8월 14일 영상을 함께 분석함으로써 침수되었던 논의 복구 상태에 따른 차이를 구분할 수 있었다.

Since 1960s, cryogenic cooling technologies has been adopted in the development of spacecraft with components that must be cooled to cryogenic temperatures of 2 to 150 K. In recent years this technology has been a substantial growth in the emerging number of programs that include such spacecraft to service scientific, military, and weather observation missions. The cooling of optics and detectors to reduce signal noise in infrared (IR) telescopes is the principal applications of cryogenic cooling technologies. The choice of cooling technologies depends on the desired temperature level, the amount of heat to be removed, and the required operating life. This paper will present the status of modern cryogenic cooling technologies especially for space application.

In this paper, I design a linear array antenna simulator for anti-jamming GPS systems and perform various performance analysis by simulation. First, I generate simulated transmission signals through the analysis of GPS satellite signal structure, and analyze SNR(Signal to Noise power Ratio) performance of linear array antenna according to number of arrays under noise environments. In addition, I analyze the performance of the anti-jamming beam pattern using MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error) signal processing method, and also analyze the anti-jamming performance considering antenna calibration problem when there are different delays between arrays.

In order to verify the operability of a GPS receiver which is one of the KSLV-I onboard electrical equipments under the vacuum conditions, this paper describes the operation methods and performance results of the GPS receiver under the thermal-vacuum and vacuum environments. The damages and degradations of electrical parts of the GPS receiver caused by the pressure change and high-degree vacuum conditions are analyzed in terms of tracking and navigation capabilities through the signal-to-noise ratio and navigation error.

This paper introduce electromagnetic environmental requirements, test procedures and test results for the Command Telemetry Unit(CTU), which is engineering qualification model for communication satellite in geostationary earth orbit. Also, through debugging of the CTU during the Electro Magnetic Compatibility(EMC) tests, this paper evaluates characteristics of noise generated by the CTU. It is also obtained that better EMC performance can be acquired by improving electrical power converter module of the CTU.

이 논문에서 제안한 ICA기반 피처추출 알고리즘은 다차원 영상에서 각 픽셀의 반사도 분광영역이 서로 다른 물체타입(목표피처와 배경피처)으로 이루어진 선형 혼합 분광영역으로 가정되는 픽셀에 대한 목표피처 탐지를 목적으로 한다. Landsat ETM+ 위성영상은 다차원 데이터구조로 이루어져 있으며, 영상에는 추출하고자하는 목표피처와 여러 종류의 배경피처들이 혼재한다. 이 논문에서는 목표피처(김양식장) 주변의 배경피처(갯뻘, 바닷물 등)들을 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여 목표피처의 픽셀 분광영역을 배경피처의 픽셀 분광영역으로 직교투영하게 된다. 픽셀내의 나머지 목표피처 분광영역의 양은 배경피처의 분광영역을 제거함으로써 추정하게 된다. 이 논문에서 제안한 ICA기반의 피처추출 방법의 우수성을 확인하기 위하여 Landsat ETM+ 위성영상에서 김양식장 피처를 추출하는데 적용하였다. 또한 피처추출 후 제거되지 않고 남아 있는 잡음(noise)정도와 피처추출 정확도 측면에서 전통적으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 최대우도 분류방법과 비교실험을 하였다. 결과적으로 이 논문에서 제안하는 방법이 목표피처 주변의 혼합분광영역에서 배경피처를 효과적으로 제거하여 추출하고자 하는 목표피처를 추출하는데 있어 우수한 탐지 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

Cognitive radio, which is designed to dynamically adapt its transmission to its environments is believed to be one of the fundamental techniques for the future spectrum utilization. As the first step of cognitive radio, spectrum sensing is treated as the most important technique. In this paper, we propose a spectral correlation based detection method for spectrum sensing. Based on the cyclostationarity of communication signals, spectral correlation function is used to minimize the effect of random noise and interference. The ROC performance of conventional energy detection is shown. Simulation result show that the proposed detection method outperforms the energy detection and more suitable for spectrum sensing in cognitive radios.

This paper discusses the attitude determination of the CNUSAIL-1 cube-satellite. The primary mission of the CNUSAIL-1 is sail deployment and operation in low Earth orbit, and the secondary mission is to look into influence of the sail deployment on satellite attitude and orbit. The attitude determination strategy is proposed depending on three mission phases, and its performance and applicability are verified through numerical simulations. This study considers the following sensors: Sun sensors and a three-axis magnetometer as attitude reference sensors, and a three-axis MEMS gyroscope as an inertial attitude sensor. Because sensors used for cube satellites have relatively low performances and worse noise characteristics, an Extended Kalman filter (EKF) is applied to attitude determination. Additionally, it has the merits to deal with the Gaussian noises and to predict the attitude even with no measurements from reference attitude sensors, especially in the eclipse of the cube satellite. The performance of the EKF is compared to a deterministic attitude determination technique, QUEST(QUaternion ESTimation).
