In this paper, an efficient concatenated coding scheme under the satellite channel is presented. The performance of this scheme in terms of bit error rate versus energy per information bit over white gaussian noise power density E/N has been evaluated via computer simulation as a function of various system parameters. To achieve accuracy in simulation results, the distortions caused from the satellite channel, such as the nonlinearity of the TWTA(traveling wave tube amplifier), signal distortions of the input and output filters, has been considered. The simulation results show that, through using the 2/3 punctured convolutional code as the inner code of the concatenated code system, the coding rate can be improved more over 16%, while maintaining the same system complexity and bit error performance.

위성 영상의 활용범위가 확대되면서 다양한 위성 센서로부터 위성영상이 제공되고 있다. 특히 최근에는 이기종 센서로부터 서로 다른 시간과 분광정보를 가진 영상의 자동 등록이 영상자료 분석을 위해 필요한 기술로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Kompsat 영상과 Radarsat 영상을 이용하여 두 영상에서 공통으로 존재하는 패치(Patch)를 추출하고 그 패치의 중심점을 찾아 매칭하는 방법에 기초를 둔 자동영상 등록 기법을 제시하였다. 밝기 값분석을 통해 패치를 추출하고 추출된 패치를 모폴로지(Morphology)기법과 잡음요소 제거 기법을 적용하여 패치에 포함된 잡음을 제거하였으며, 비용함수를 이용한 패치 매칭과 변환함수를 이용하여 자동영상등록을 실시하였다.

In the paper, the Image SNR(Signal-to-Noise) distribution proposed in [1] is reviewed from the three points of views: verification, variation, and application of the distribution. First, the proposed Image SNR distribution is verified through the noise-based simulation over a 2D image detector. Second, its variation over the linear/nonlinear gains shows that the noise-effect itself cannot explain every reason for the degraded Image SNR distribution. Third, through the application to optimal selection of the operation parameters, the usefulness of the proposed distribution is clarified.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a LNB(Low Noise Block downd-converter) which is a component of a FST(Flyaway Satellite Terminal), one of the ET(Earth Terminal) of the military satellite. LNB is physically composed of an down-converter module, a low noise amplifier module, a transmit band suppression filter, a isolator, a housing, and a cable assembly. It was designed using simulator (AWR) to satisfy the electrical characteristics of LNB's such as gain, noise figure and unwanted signal. The gain and noise figure characteristics were measured at 61.4dBm and 1.37dB, respectively. The unwanted wave was measured at -66.79dBc. Of the electrical requirements of Table 1, not only the above three but also all other items were confirmed to be satisfied.

Most stereo matching methods use intensity values in small image patches to measure the correspondence between two points. If the noisy pixels are used in computing the corresponding point, the matching performance becomes low. For this reason, the noise plays a critical role in determining the matching performance. In this paper, we propose a method for combining intensity and edge filters robust to the noise in order to improve the performance of stereo matching using high resolution satellite imagery. We used intensity filters such as Mean, Median, Midpoint and Gaussian filter and edge filters such as Gradient, Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel and Laplacian filter. To evaluate the performance of intensity and edge filters, experiments were carried out on both synthetic images and satellite images with uniform or gaussian noise. Then each filter was ranked based on its performance. Among the intensity and edge filters, Median and Sobel filter showed best performance while Midpoint and Laplacian filter showed worst result. We used Ikonos satellite stereo imagery in the experiments and the matching method using Median and Sobel filter showed better matching results than other filter combinations.

In this paper, we suggests a Ka-band LNB considering next-generation UHD satellite TVRO. Since Ka-band has grater attenuation than Ku-band in atmosphere, we designed the low-noise down-converter to improve receiving sensitivity and to extend a dynamic range of receiver. It aims to compensate a quality of ultra high definition transmission signal for rainfall. The low-noise block diagram consists of a three-staged amplifier (LNA), band-pass filter for deleting image (BPF), mixer and IF when considering nonlinear characteristics in the receiver RF front end module. Also, we showed a LNB through optimization processes affecting dynamic range directly in receiver FEM. Asa resuly of experiment, the gain of low-noise down-converter show between 58.5dB and 60.7dB, the noise figure has a high characteristic as 1.38dB. Finally, the phase noise of local oscillator is -63.10dBc at 100MHz offset frequency.
