한국항공우주연구원 SBAS 사업단은 한국형 위성기반 보강 항법 시스템(KASS) 개발을 위한 기준국 후보지 환경 분석을 수행하였다. 기준국 후보지 환경 분석을 위한 요구사항은 일반 시설 항목(시설, 보안, 화재 등)과 GNSS 신호 환경 항목(수평앙각, EMI, 다중경로)으로 구분하였다. 총 17개 기준국 사이트에 대한 정밀조사를 수행하였으며 사이트 요구사항 만족여부를 비교하였다. 추후 조사 결과를 바탕으로 시스템 성능 및 기준국 시스템 구축을 고려하여 KASS 시스템의 기준국을 선정할 예정이다.

In this paper, atmospheric turbulence and absorption under clear weather condition, which affect the optical satellite up-link communication between geo-satellites and earth station, were studied. In case of the up-link communication, the received optical power is weakened by pointing loss caused by beam tilt which is the main effect of turbulent atmosphere. This pointing loss directly has relation to the diameter of optical transmitting antenna. From the inverse proportion of the pointing and spaced loss, it is the regions where the diameter of transmitting antenna increases abruptly and the efficient design of transmitting antenna is impossible. In case of using channel coding, it was shown that the peak value of diameter moved to the lower regions of elevation angle with increasing the coding gain and its width was also decreased. In case of considering both coding gain and transmission rate on the design of transmitting antenna, it was known that more coding gain was necessary as transmission rate was increased.

This paper describes beam-tilting characteristics of horizontally polarized EMCD (electromagnetically coupled dipole) array antennas. The result of one element radiator is used for array elements designs and is evaluated its characteristics. Theoretical frequency characteristics and radiation pattern of the horizontally polarized EMCD array antennas analyzed by FDTD method agree well with the measured results of the practically fabricated way antennas. The measured main beam tilt ang1e and 3 dB beam width of the fabricated 20-element array antennas are 47$^{\circ}$and about $\pm$7.5$^{\circ}$, respectively. A good radiation pattern and beam tilting characteristics are observed in experiments.

We proposed the beam tilted antenna by aperture coupled microstrip array, found out the values of design parameters by using Ensemble 5.1 of Ansoft Co., and analysed the performance of fabricated antenna. In order to point to the fixed satellite on the nothern hemisphere, 3 dB beamwidth of this antenna is 25$^{\circ}C$ to 65$^{\circ}C$. Operation bandwidth is 2.51GHz to 2.59GHz. The structure of this antenna is composed by 3 types of squared patches; reflector, driver, and director. The maximum antenna gain is 6.2dB at 2.56GHz and elevation angle of 42$^{\circ}C$. Front-to-Back ratio is more than 13dB at the same condition.

This paper presents the bit error rate(BER) upper bounds for trellis coded asymmetric 8PSK(TC-A8PSK) system using the Ka-band satellite in the rain fading environment. The probability density function(PDF) for the rain fading random variable can be theoretically derived by assuming that the rain attenuation can be approximated to a long-normal distribution and the rain fading parameters are calculated by using the rain precipitation data from the Crane global model. Furthermore, we analyze the BER upper bounds of TC-A8PSK system according to the number of states in the trellis diagram and the availability of channel state information(CSI). In the past, Divsalar and Simon[9] has analyzed the BER upper bounds of 2-state TCM system in Rician fading channels however this paper is the first to analyze the BER upper bounds of TCM system in the rain fading channels. Finally, we summarize the dominant six factors which are closely related to the BER upper bounds of TC-A8PSK satellite system in the rain fading channel as follows: 1) frequency band, 2) rain intensity, 3) elevation angle, 4) signal to noise ratio, 5) asymmetric angle, and 6) availability of CSI.

In this study, we provide a single element log-periodic antenna that the feeding networks and array structures are aperture coupled and series dipole array type. We made the antenna for direct receiving the Moogoongwha satellite broadcasting signal. The transmission power was able to feed the patch dipole in series due to lay perpendicularly 8 series patch dipole on tapered slot. The patch dipole radiation pattern which fed in series power, make the main beam direction up $37^{\circ}{\sim}42^{\circ}$ within the BS/CS bandwidth. The main beam gain was measured 9.31~11.03 dBi. Using 32 elements to array the elements properly, we acquire $4{\times}8$ array structure on limited PCB board. As a result, it has been found that the new planar DBS antenna structure have high gain over 10dBi and acceptable elevation angle over 42 degree, and we can apply this result to commercial DBS reception antenna manufacturing.

In recent years, owing to the growing user demand for the two-way internet service based on the move global broadband communications, a new type of satellite terminal has developed, known as earth station in motion (ESIM). This service was required by Resolution 158 (WRC-15) to study on the coexistence with the co-primary fixed service (FS) in 27.5-29.5 GHz as a FSS uplink. In this paper, four scenarios was introduced to account for the antenna pointing error and the azimuth for an analysis on the sharing between ESIM and FS. From analysis results, the required separation distance between two systems should be about 32~52 km according to the elevation angles of $20^{\circ}{\sim}40^{\circ}$ using thresholds of 5% and 10% outage probability. Therefore, it is necessary to control the azimuth angle due to a moving terminal as well as the pointing error of ESIM to minimize the required separation distance and to protect the co-primary FS.

Recently, as the air traffic volume has been explosively increased, various studies are being conducted to increase the air passenger capacity. In order to compensate the limitation of the separation distance on the aerodrome established on the basis of existing VOR / DME equipment, GNSS utilizing satellite is considered. In addition, we are trying to obtain more precise location information by using SBAS, a system that can correct GNSS error. ICAO recommends introducing SBAS until 2025, and Korea has also started to develop KASS, a Korean SBAS since 2014. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the interference threshold for the measurement items and the receiving antenna gain according to the elevation angle of the satellite receiving antenna.

In recent years, Transport Demand Management has been conducted for the efficient management of transport. In ITS applications in particular, the prerequisite is accurate and reliable positioning. However, the major problems are satellite signal outage, and multipath. This paper proposes that outage and multipath measurement can be detected and estimated using elevation angle and signal to noise ratio data association relation in stand-alone GPS. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, it is then evaluated by the car test. the evaluation test environment has low accuracy and unreliable positioning because of signal outage or multipath such as steep hill and high buildings. In the evaluation test result, 918times abnormal signal occurred and it was confirmed that the proposed method showed more improved 9.48m(RMS) horizontal positioning error than without proposed method.

In this paper, we analyze the interference effects between NGSO(Non-Geostationary Orbit) and HAPS(High Altitude Platform System) by dividing into two cases. The one is interference effects of HAPS into NGSO, the another is the interference effects of NGSO into HAPS. At the result, we canknow the interference effect into NGSO mobile station is the highest when position of NGSO is $95^{\circ}$. In this case, we can also know the interference effects from both HAPS and NGSO exceed interference criteria when the number of users are more than 20. And, in the case of the interference effect into HAPS mobile station, we can know it is the highest when elevation angle of NGSO is $87^{\circ}$, and the interference effects from both NGSO and HAPS exceed interference criteria when the number of users is more then 10. Moreover, the interference effect is the minimum, when elevation angle of NGSO is $64^{\circ}$, at this time, in case that the number of users of NGSO equal to the number of user of HAPS, the interference effects exceed interference criteria when the number of users is 190.
