Occasionally, MODEM test in satellite communication systems are needed. But Rx terminals in satellite communications are designed to obtain high SNR generally, therefore artificial bad conditions and environments are demanded for the test. One of the typical method is satellite output power reduction. Using noise generator can be another method. However, these costs a lot of money, time, and procedures in reality. In order to overcome these problems, this paper proposes an artificial noise generation method for MODEM test in satellite communication systems. First of all, SNR of a general heterodyne Rx terminal is calculated. Based on the calculation, a new model which is including variable attenuator is proposed to increase noise level. Simulation results illustrate the variable attenuator can control SNR, and these show that MODEM test in satellite communication systems be possible.

Before an actual military communications satellite is designed and constructed, a feasibility study should take place. The basic functions of such system can be observed and demonstrated in an X-Band payload simulator. For this purpose a Payload Concept Model (PCM) for X-Band payload subsystem has been developed to simulate the workings of an actual military communications payload. This paper explains and illustrates the mechanical design, manufacture, and integration of the PCM. Basic RF tests also have been performed in order to verify the design requirement of the system. The results demonstrate successful development of the PCM and operation without RF losses.

육상이동위성 채널에서 고속 광대역의 정보를 효율적으로 전송하기 위한 최적 방안으로 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) M-ary PSK를 들 수 있다. 그러나 가입자 단말기 또는 위성중계기의 송신단 고출력 증폭기(HPA : High Power Amplifier)를 전력효율적인 비선형 mode에서 동작할 때, OFDM M-ary PSK 시스템의 최대 전력 대 평균전력의 비(PAPR : Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)가 부바송파 개수만큼 선형적으로 커져 단일 반송파 변조방식에 비해 비선형 왜곡에 의한 성능 열화가 심각하다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 성능 열화를 개선하기 위하여 전송채널에서 대역효율과 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능이 우수한 PC(Parallel Combinatory) OFDM 방식과 개선된 PAPR을 가지는 PTS(Partial Transmit Sequence) OFDM 방식을 결합한 Combined PC & PTS OFDM 방식을 제안하고 그 성능을 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 DS-CDM-QPSK방식 위성 DAB 시스템(ITU-R BO. 1130-4 시스템 E)의 위성 중계기 고출력 증폭기(HPA) 비선형 특성으로 인한 전력효율 저하를 개선하기 위해 QPSK 변조기법 대신 부드러운 위상천이와 진폭변이가 적은 SQAM 변조기법을 적용한 DS-CDM-SQAM (Superposed Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) 방식을 제안하고 성능을 분석하였다. 비선형 다중경로 이동수신 환경에서 전산모의 실험 결과, 제안하는 DS-CDM-SQAM 방식은 기존의 DS-CDM-QPSK 방식보다 $BER=1{\times}10^{-3}$에서 Eb/No=1.7dB 성능 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 DS-CDM-SQAM 시스템은 비선형 육상 이동 위성 DAB환경에서 전력효율을 크게 향상할 수 있다.

In this paper, it is proposed the link performance analysis results using SNRAT(Satellite Network Resource Allocation & Analysis Tool) and verified the anticipated results by satellite communication network simulator. A communication satellite cannot be corrected or fixed for the error in orbit operation after launching unlike the ground operation equipment and has a restricted operation life. So, it is important to make possible to use satellite communications in the proper time. It is expected the link BER(Bit Error Rate), throughput and AJ(Anti-Jamming) performance using SNRAT tool before launching. And it is verified the performance of the repeaters and ground equipment specification using the satellite network simulator and is extracted the optimum operational scenarios through the tests of various network operational plans.

COMS is the one of Korean hybrid geostationary satellite and is scheduled to be launched in 2009 by Arian V into $128^{\circ}$ E longitude. COMS is designed and manufactured for three main objectives which are Communications, Oceanographic, and Meteorological missions. It provides the weather monitoring, ocean monitoring, and Ka band satellite communication services by means of three different payloads. The Ka band communications payload was developed by Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), and provides not only the digital transmission for the communication services against natural disaster but also digital transmission for the high speed multimedia services. This paper describes the overview of the electrical and mechanical design and measured performances of the Ka band communications transponder flight model (FM) for COMS.

This paper presents a low temperature co-fire ceramics(LTCC) Upconverter for a Ka-band OBS satellite transponder in order for size reduction which is one of the most important requirement for satellite components. A S-band low-pass filter(LPF), a K-band band-pass filter(BPF), and an upconverting MMIC mixer are embedded in the multi-layer structure of the upconverter. All spurious can be selectively rejected by employing a modified Elliptic low pass filter with a multi-pole structure for the S-band LPF. Also an improved performance of out-of-band rejection can be obtained. At the K-band BPF design a layer coupled configuration is employed. The upconverting mixer is an MMIC diode mixer with a double-balanced configuration. Conversion loss and isolation of the upconverter are 9 dB and 51 dBc, respectively. The size of the LTCC upconverter is only $8{\times}7{\times}0.6mm^3$ which is one-third for the thin-film based upconverter.

In this paper, we propose an efficient cooperative diversity scheme for mobile satellite multimedia broadcasting services. The proposed scheme is a transmit diversity technique to adapt time varying channel conditions, and we do not need any channel quality information from the return link. In the proposed scheme, we utilize space-time block coding (STBC) and rate compatible turbo codes in order to realize the transmit diversity for the mobile satellite system with several repeaters. The satellite and several repeaters operate in unison to send the encoded signals, so that the receiver may realize diversity gain. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can provide highly improved performance.

본 논문에서는 다중 빔을 사용한 저궤도 위성 이동 통신시스템 환경에서 부호 분할 다중접속 및 주파수 분할 다중접속 방식의 채널 용량을 비교 분석하였다. 위성 중계기의 출 력의 효율성, 주파수 효율성, 부호화 방식 및 안테나의 EIRP나 G/T형태 등과 같은 파라미 터들을 순방향 링크와 역방향 링크에서 채널 용량을 결정하는 시스템 파라미터로서 고려하 였고, 피더 링크(feeder link)는 Ku-band를, 사용자는 링크는 L-band를 사용한 다중 스팟빔 (spot beam) 시스템을 채널 용량 분석의 모델로 적용하였다. 분석결과 도플러 현상 및 다중 경로에 강한 부호 분할 다중접속 방식이 용량면에서 주파수 분할 다중접속 방식에 비해 성 능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
