This performance is motivated to develop a tracking antenna system for receive the satellite broadcasting signal in the coast sailing ship. Therefore, this system is made to small size, light weight and simple operation which is must to low cost system for popularization of small size ship and adaptive possibilities with useful on a ship in the coast using 1 axis Az-mount. The antenna mount structure is a compact size and easy operation to the Az-axis type which is operated by step motor. The antenna unit is a domestic made plate type of patch array and ship's moving detection is using the gyro sensor for ship's moving control. We are designed to algorithm, which walking is abreast for step track and ship's moving compensation. Ship's moving compensation is adapted to the closed loop control method by detection from gyro sensor. This system is consisted of micro processor, ADC, comparative amplifier, step motor driver, mount mechanism and algorithm. We have analysised the tracking performance of prototype on sailing ship board.

DBS offers actual services to mass-media and communication system of very broad region in information society. Especially, the DBS is the only system to access TV broadcasting service on a sailing ship. But the ship's DBS receiver is required a complex antenna tracking system because ships are under complex moving such as pitch, roll, and yaw etc. This study is motivated to develop a tracking antenna system to receive the koreasat on small silo ship. Therefore, this system is researched to small size, light weight, simple operation, and low cost of the product. The mount structure have been a compact size and easy operation to the Az/El 2-axis type which is operated by step motor. And it is very useful on a ship in the around sea of korean peninsula. The antenna has a plate type of micro-strip array, and is a domestic production. The vibration sensor is selected to gyro sensor of ultra-sonic rate type for ship's moving control. Tracking method is used the step-tracking algorithm, and the ship's moving compensation is adapted to the closed loop control method by ship's moving detection of gyro sensor. Tracking test is operated by the ship's moving simulator, we examined the actual receiving state on sailing shipboard in the near sea of korean peninsular.

The DBS system is being highlighted as actual area for the information societics. Specially, the DBS have been proposed very useful system to access the broading service in more widely sea. But the antenna tracking system for maritime DBS receiving is requried complicated control system because of the those complex motion represented pitching, rolling and yowing etc. Our resesrch target is a development of tracking system to the KOREASEA(MUGUNGWHA-1,2) for the applicated small size shipping. So our development focus was concentrated the two development direction. The first focus was represented low-cost system for popularization of small-size shipping around sea of the Korea peninsula. The second focus was an adaptive possibilities with domestic eqdupiment which was developed satellite receiving for KOREASAT. The anntenna mount is designed a compact size and easy operation use to the Az/El 2-axis type which is operated by step motor. And this mount type is very useful on a ship in the near sea of Korea peninsula. Basic tracking method is used th step-tracking algorithm, and the ship's moving compensation is adapted to the closed loop control method by ship's moving detection of gyro sensor. Control part is consists of converter, countertime, VCO, micro-computer and it's software. Testing the operation by the ship's moving simulator, and algorithm is designed tracking and moving compensation by receiving state.

한국천문연구원은 우주물체 전자광학 감시체계 기술개발 사업을 통해 자국위성의 추적감시를 위해 0.5m 광시야 감시관측소 국제 네트워크(OWL : Optical Wide-Field patroL)를 구축할 예정이다. OWL 시스템의 설계 검증을 위해 시험모델을 개발하였고, 연구소 내에 테스트베드에 설치하여 종합적인 테스트를 수행하고 있다. OWL 시험모델은 해외 설치모델과 동일하게 제작하였으며 돔을 제외한 모든 서브시스템을 국산화하였다. 유효구경 0.5m의 Richey-Cretian 형식의 광학계로 1.75도의 광시야를 구현하였고 영상보정을 위해 5개의 보정 렌즈를 사용하였다. 인공위성 추적을 위해 초당 10도 이상 기동이 가능한 alt-az 방식의 마운트를 개발하였다. 단일 노출에서 다수의 인공위성 궤적을 얻기 위해 chopper 제어 시스템을 도입하였고, chopper, 필터휠, de-rotator, CCD 카메라 등 4개의 부분품을 하나로 묶어 간결한 back-end를 구성하였다. 시스템의 안정성 향상과 유지보수의 용이성을 위해 망원경 및 관측소 제어 전용보드를 개발하였고, 전자동 무인관측을 위한 스케줄러 및 운영소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 시험모델을 이용하여 수 개월간 테스트을 수행하고, 관측결과 분석을 통하여 문제점을 수정보완한 후 OWL 시스템의 최종 설계안을 확정할 예정이다.
