In this paper, X/Ku band waveguide diplexers with H-plane T-junction for satellite communication systems is proposed and its characteristics is cinfirmed. Two frequency bands such as X(7.25 ~ 8.4 GHz) and Ku(12.25 ~ 14.5 GHz) can be separated by the proposed waveguide diplexers. A diplexers is normally including low pass filter, high pass filter and junction waveguide. To simplify the structure of the proposed diplexers, the proposed waveguide diplexers is using impedance matching technique on H-plane of the high pass filter without low pass filter. To use vertical and horizontal polarization, the proposed diplexers with orthomode transducer(OMT) characteristics is also designed. Therefore, it is confirmed that the proposed waveguide diplexers can be used as dual-band and dual-polarization diplexers for satellite communication feed systems.

In order to predict and prevent hydrological disasters such as flood, it is necessary to accurately estimate rainfall. In this paper, an areal average rainfall estimation method using multiple elevation observation data of an electromagnetic wave rain gauge is presented. The small electromagnetic rain gauge system is a very small precipitation radar that operates at K-band with dual-polarization technology for very short distance observation. The areal average rainfall estimation method is based on the assumption that the variation in rainfall over the observation range is small because the observation distance and time are very short. The proposed method has been evaluated by comparing with ground instruments such as tipping-bucket rain gauges and a Parsivel. The evaluation results show that the methodology works fairly well for the rainfall events which are shown here.

최근 서울, 부산, 울산 등에서 도시 돌발홍수가 빈번히 발생하고 있고 이에 따른 인명 손실 및 재산 피해가 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 그러나 집중 호우의 대부분은 저고도 대기에서 생성 및 발달되며, 소멸까지의 시간은 2-3 시간에 불과하여 기존의 우리나라 수문기상 관측시스템은 이러한 유형의 강우량 예측에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 기상, 재난 관련 정부 기관들이 저고도 수문기상 관측을 위한 도시형 X-밴드 레이더 네트워크 구축을 계획하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 그보다 선행하여 돌발성 수문기상 재해연구를 위해 한국건설기술연구원에서 도입한 X-band 이중 편파 레이더 시스템을 이용하여 보다 간단하고 정확한 재난 감시 및 예경보 시스템을 개발하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 X-밴드 레이더 데이터로부터 추정된 정량적 강수량을 모니터링 하여 도시 지역의 돌발홍수를 자동으로 경고하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 Google 어스 플랫폼을 사용하여 정확한 3D QPE-GIS 매칭 기법을 개발함으로써, 심각한 수문기상 현상이 발생하는 정확한 위치를 추적하고 직관적인 경보서비스를 가능케 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 경보시스템은 레이더 데이터 분석도구, 위험결정 도구 및 위험경고 표시 도구의 세 가지 기술로 구성된다. 제안된 돌발홍수 경보시스템은, 시뮬레이션을 통해 X-밴드 레이더 데이터로부터 정량적 강수량이 계산되며, GIS 상에서 레이더 반사도 및 강우강도가 3차원 이미지 형태로 표시된다. 그런 다음 Google 어스에서 3D 큐브 블록으로 대표되는 강수량이 동시에 누적표출 되도록 설계되었다. 또한 분석된 X-밴드 레이더 데이터로부터 지역별 누적 강수량을 업데이트 및 모니터링하고 기 설정된 돌발홍수 발생 한계치(trigger)에 도달하면 홍수경보 메시지를 표시한다. 향후, 제안된 경보시스템에 대한 기술적 도구를 개선하면서 대규모 수문기상 레이더 네트워크로 광범위한 강우를 모니터링하면 전국적인 돌발홍수 경보시스템으로 확대가 가능하다.

지금까지 대부분의 인공위성 또는 항공기 SAR 시스템은 하나의 위상 배열 안테나를 이용하며, 단 영상을 생성하고 판독하는데 주로 사용되었지만, 차세대 SAR 시스템은 다중 편파 관측이 가능하거나 이중 채널 또는 위상 배열 안테나의 분리 모드(split-antenna mode)를 통해 간섭기법의 적용이 가능한 시스템으로 발전이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 이 논문은 차세대 SAR 인공위성의 새로운 분석 기법 연구와 활용 증진을 위해, 유사한 기능을 보일 수 있는 이중 채널 항공기 SAR 시스템을 구축하고, 이로부터 단일 패스 간섭기법(single-pass interferometry)을 연구한 논문이다. 공간적으로 서로 다른 위치에 있는 두 개의 SAR 채널에서 동시에 수신된 레이다 신호를 간섭적으로 처리하여, 지형의 고도 정보를 추출하거나 이동하는 물체의 속도를 탐지할 수 있도록 알고리즘을 구현하였고, 새로운 활용 분야를 모색하고자 하였다.

A suspended microstrip line structure over mushroom-like SMPs is designed and is applied to a dual-frequency and dual-polarization microstrip patch antenna. This structure has a distinctive and sharp rejection band and provides near 0 dB insertion loss outside the rejection band. Applying the structure to the conventional DFDP antenna enhanced the isolation between the two ports more than 20 dB. The structure is expected to have a wide range of applications in antennas and filters due to its compactness and integrability in circuits.

In this paper, we present methods for designing a square-waveguide iris polarizer operating at dual frequency bands. Methods are presented fur determining the number of ires, iris thickness, iris height and spacing between ires so that the input reflection is low and the axial-ratio bandwidth is optimized at two frequency bands. As an example of the application of the proposed method, a polarizer operating at 21 GHz and 31 GHz bands is designed, fabricated and tested. The fabricated polarizer shows a reflection coefficient less than -35 dB and an axial ratio less than 0.3 dB at $20.8\~21.2\;GHz$ and $30.6\~31.0\;GHz$.

This study suggests new antenna design for polarization diversity. For dual polarization, two port feeding lines are printed on two separate layers and cross-shaped aperture is located on ground between the substrates. For reducing back radiation, a reflector is attached around $\lambda$/4 behind feeding substrates. For wide bandwidth we use a perturbed patch with saw tooth shaped. This perturbation effect causes reduction of antenna size and also reduction of array size. With the antenna proposed here, $1\times4$ array dual polarization antenna for polarization diversity of PCS base station is built. One single element has as large as 10.3%, 11.3% bandwidths at each port, V.S.W.R less than 1.3 and the isolation is less than -40 dB, also array antenna has 13.2% 12.7% band bandwidth, V.S.W.R less than 1.3 the isolation below -36dB and the XPD of 10 dB.

The main objective of the research is a feasibility study on the intertidal zone using a X-band radar satellite, TerraSAR-X. The TerraSAR-X data have been acquired in the west coast of Korea where large tidal flats, Ganghwa and Yeongjong tidal flats, are developed. Investigations include: 1) waterline and backscattering characteristics of the high resolution X-band images in tidal flats; 2) polarimetric signature of halophytes (or salt marsh plants), specifically Suaeda japonica; and 3) phase and coherence of interferometric pairs. Waterlines from TerraSAR-X data satisfy the requirement of horizontal accuracy of 60 m that corresponds to 20 cm in average height difference while current other spaceborne SAR systems could not meet the requirement. HH-polarization was the best for extraction of waterline, and its geometric position is reliable due to the short wavelength and accurate orbit control of the TerraSAR-X. A halophyte or salt marsh plant, Suaeda japonica, is an indicator of local sea level change. From X-band ground radar measurements, a dual polarization of VV/VH-pol. is anticipated to be the best for detection of the plant with about 9 dB difference at 35 degree incidence angle. However, TerraSAR-X HH/TV dual polarization was turned to be more effective for salt marsh monitoring. The HH-HV value was the maximum of about 7.9 dB at 31.6 degree incidence angle, which is fairly consistent with the results of X-band ground radar measurement. The boundary of salt marsh is effectively traceable specifically by TerraSAR-X cross-polarization data. While interferometric phase is not coherent within normal tidal flat, areas of salt marsh where the landization is preceded show coherent interferometric phases regardless of seasons or tide conditions. Although TerraSAR-X interferometry may not be effective to directly measure height or changes in tidal flat surface, TanDEM-X or other future X-band SAR tandem missions within one-day interval would be useful for mapping tidal flat topography.

The UHDTV system, which provides realistic service with ultra-high definite video and multi-channel audio, has been studied as a next generation broadcasting service. Since the conventional digital terrestrial transmission system is not capable to cover the increased transmission data rate of the UHDTV service, there are great necessity of researches about increase of data rate. Accordingly, the researches has been studied to increase the transmission data rate of the DVB-T2 system using dual-polarized MIMO technique and high order modulation. In order to optimize the MIMO DVB-T2 system where irregular LDPC codes are used, it is necessary to study the design of the bit mapper that matches the LDPC code and QAM symbols in MIMO channel. However, the research related to the design of the bit mapper has been limited to the SISO system. Therefore, this paper defines a new parameter that indicates the VND distribution of MIMO DVB-T2 system and performs the performance analysis according to the parameter which will be helpful for designing a MIMO bit mapper.
