GPS는 지구 중심으로부터 GPS 위성의 거리와 위성과 관측자사이의 의사거리(pseudorange)를 이용해서 위치를 결정하는 시스템이다. 1993년 6월 12일 연세대학교에서 3시간동안 관측하여 연세대학교의 위치를 구하였다. 이 위치는 WGS-84 타원체이므로 Bessel타원체로 좌표변환하였다. 위치를 결정하기 위해서는 정확한 위성의 위치와 의사거리에 미치는 잡음(noise)을 제거해야 한다. GPS 위성의 위치 결정에는 지구 비대칭중력항에 의한 섭동, 태양, 달에 의한 섭동, 태앙 복사압에 의한 섭동, 지각, 해양의 조석력에 의한 섭동, 태양빛의 지구 반사도(albedo)에 의한 섭동을 고려해야하며 이를 위해서 위성의 Telemetry를 분석하여 구해 보았다 의사거리의 잡음중 가장 큰 요소인 이온층, 대류층에 의한 지연(delay)에 대해 연구 하였고 각각 Kiobuchar모델, Hopfield모델을 써서 보정을 하였다. 자료 처리를 P모델, PV모델을 만들어 칼만 필터에 적용하였고 RV모델이 P모델보다 더 정확하였나, 위치 결정의 정확도를 알아 보기위해서 국립 천문대부설 GPS관측소에서 결정한 위치와 비교,분석하였다.

The phase error in the digital transmission system are generated by random phase noise and tracking phase error due to doppler phenomenon. In the mobile satellite communication system that generates the doppler frequency, which is a system with a movement, the proper system phase noise spectrum should be designed based on analyses for phase noise and static phase error effects. Based on the analyses of the doppler frequency and the phase error for bilateral satellite communication system providing an asynchronous service, the phase noise spectrums for the mobile satellite communication are designed in this paper. Also, the available transmission services under the less doppler effect are proposed and the proper signal source units for a required transmission system can be designed under the proposed system phase noise spectrum.

A 30GHz band low noise amplifier module, which has linear gain of 30dB and noise figure of 2.6dB, for 30GHz satellite communication transponder was developed by use of MMIC and thin film MIC technologies. Two kinds of MMIC circuits were used for the low noise amplifier module, the first one is ultra low noise MMIC circuit and the other is wideband and high gain MMIC circuit. The pHEMT technology with 0.15$mu extrm{m}$ of gate length was applied for MMIC fabrication. Thin film microstrip lines on alumina substrate were used to interconnect two MMIC chips, and the thick film bias circuit board were developed to provide the stabilized DC bias. The input interface of the low noise amplifier module was designed with waveguide type to receive the signal from antenna directly, and the output port was adopted with K-type coaxial connector for interface with the frequency converter module behind the low noise amplifier module. Space qualified manufacturing processes were applied to manufacture and assemble the low noise amplifier module, and space qualification level of environment tests including thermal and vibration test were performed for it. The developed low noise amplifier was measured to show 30dB of minimum gain, $\pm$0.3dB of gain flatness, and 2.6dB of maximum noise figure over the desired operating frequency range from 30 to 31 GHz.

The Satellite Electro-Optic Payload System needsspecial requirements with the conditions of limited power consumption and the space environment of solar radiation. The acquired image quality should be mainly depend on the GSD (Ground Sampled Distance), SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), and MTF (Modulation Transfer Function). On the well-manufactured sensor level, the thermal noise is removed on ASP (Analog Signal Processing) using the CDS (Corrective Double Sampling); the noise signal from the image sensor can be reduced from the offset signals based on the pre-pixels and the dark-pixels. The non-uniformity shall be corrected with gain, offset, and correction parameter of the image sensor pixel characteristic on the sensor control system. This paper describes the SNR enhancement method of the satellite EOS payload using the mentioned noise remove processes on the system design and operation, which is verified by tests and simulations.

In this paper, Low Noise Block down converter(LNB) is designed for a Ka-band satellite television receiver only(TVRO) using commercially available MMIC.

The system phase noise spectrum distribution for COMS sensor data transmitter and receiver system was proposed in this paper. On the basis of the analyzed design parameter to reduce the phase noise effect in a receiver, the optimal system phase noise were proposed for raw, IRIT and HRIT data transmission that are sensor data, respectively. The proposed system phase noise provides the qualified transmission performance of sensor data and reduces the performance degradation due to phase noise generating in the transmission channel. Also the system phase noise spectrums are utilized in the design of frequency generation source for sensor data transmission and receiver system.

In this paper, we have designed a low-noise amplifier for the down-converter to apply the K-band Mu-kung-hwa satellite downconvertion. We have designed on three-stage to satisfy the property of low-noise amplifier for the down-converter required at least 30dB gain. The simulaition results for the designed three-stage Low-noise amplifier are measured that 33dB, gain and 0.93dB, noise-figure From 19.200 to 20.200, and The experiment results of the fabric are measured that 25dB, gain and 1.5dB, noise-figure. Since Input reflection coefficient and otput resection coefficient are -25dB and -28dB, respectively, and VSWR is lower than 1.5, this amplifier can be used as a low-noise amplifier for the down-converter to apply the K-band Mu-kung-hwa satellite downconvertion.

In this paper, we suggested that a RF-front module of down-converter that represents the lowest noise figure to receive high quality video signals because the attenuation occurs in the atmosphere over 20GHz. By budget analysis of CDR, SFDR and CIP3 of RF-FEM, we also analyzed the parameters and linearity that presents high dynamic range. The total gain of designed Ka-band down-converter is 61.8dBand noise figure is 1.05dB, so gain and noise figures show excellent properties. In the future, the designed RF-FEM will be applied to the Ka-band satellite down-converter for UHD-class video transmission.

This study measured the radio environment of 10 domestic institutions with CubeSat ground stations for 24 hours in three frequency bands (VHF/UHF/S-band) allocated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The impact of the RF environment around the ground stations on CubeSat downlink frequencies was analysed and compared with acceptable interference noise requirements from the CubeSat RF link. The findings indicate that not only the selection of downlink frequency but also the configuration of RF communication link design and ground station system of CubeSat should consider the S-band RF environment around the ground station due to the presence of several wireless devices.
