  • Satellite optical communication has gained significant attention owing to its many quality features (e.g., a larger bandwidth, license free spectrum, higher data rate, and better security) compared to satellite microwave communication. Various experiments have been performed during many space missions to demonstrate and characterize inter-satellite links, downlinks, and uplinks. Korea has also planned to establish an experimental communication system using a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite and the Geochang station as an optical ground station for low Earth orbit (LEO)-to-ground optical relay links. In this study, the performance of inter-satellite communication links and downlinks was investigated for the new Korean experimental communication system in terms of link margin, bit error rate (BER), and channel capacity. In particular, the performance of the inter-satellite links was analyzed based on the receiving apertures and the transmitting power, while that of the downlink was analyzed in terms of atmospheric turbulence conditions and transmitting power. Finally, we discussed two system parameters of receiving aperture and transmitting power to meet the three criteria of link margin, BER, and channel capacity.

  • Scientific CubeSat with Instruments for Global Magnetic Fields and Radiations (SIGMA) is a 3-U size CubeSat that will be operated in low earth orbit (LEO). The SIGMA communication system uses a very high frequency (VHF) band for uplink and an ultra high frequency (UHF) band for downlink. Both frequencies belong to an amateur band. The ground station that communicates with SIGMA is located at Kyung Hee Astronomical Observatory (KHAO). For reliable communication, we carried out a laboratory (LAB) test and far-field tests between the CubeSat and a ground station. In the field test, we considered test parameters such as attenuation, antenna deployment, CubeSat body attitude, and Doppler frequency shift in transmitting commands and receiving data. In this paper, we present a communication performance test of SIGMA, a link budget analysis, and a field test process. We also compare the link budget with the field test results of transmitting commands and receiving data.

  • 국제 표준으로 사용되고 있는 지구-우주 통신 링크의 전파 예측 모델을 사용하여 통신 경로의 총 손실을 계산하고 분석하였다. 총 손실의 계산에 사용되는 각 파라미터(강우, 신틸레이션, 대기 가스, 구름에 의한 감쇠)에 대한 ITU-R의 표준 정의 및 적용 범위를 분석하였다. 각 파라미터별 표준 모델과 ITU-R에서 제공하는 통계 데이터를 사용하여 총 손실을 계산하였고, 그 결과를 검증 사례 데이터를 사용하여 분석하였다. 국내에서 측정된 장기간의 지역 강우 감쇠 통계 데이터를 사용하여 강우 손실을 계산하고, ITU-R 권고서의 강우율 지도를 사용한 계산 결과와 비교하였다. 강우 손실 계산에서는 천리안 위성의 L-대역과 Ka-대역에 대한 신호 측정 데이터를 사용하였다. 0.01%-0.1%의 범위에서 ITU-R의 모델에 의한 감쇠보다 지역 측정 데이터를 사용 했을 때 더 큰 감쇠 기울기를 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

  • In Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, satellites operate fast and the inter-satellite link change period is short. In order to sense the spectrum state in LEO satellite networks in real-time, a space-based satellite network intelligent spectrum sensing algorithm based on artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed, while Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites are introduced to make fast and effective judgments on the spectrum state of LEO satellites by using their stronger arithmetic power. Firstly, the visibility constraints between LEO satellites and GEO satellites are analyzed to derive the inter-satellite link building matrix and complete the inter-satellite link situational awareness. Secondly, an ANN-based energy detection (ANN-ED) algorithm is proposed based on the traditional energy detection algorithm and artificial neural network. The ANN module is used to determine the spectrum state and optimize the traditional energy detection algorithm. GEO satellites are used to fuse the information sensed by LEO satellites and then give the spectrum decision, thereby realizing the inter-satellite spectrum state sensing. Finally, the sensing quality is evaluated by the analysis of sensing delay and sensing energy consumption. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm has lower complexity, the sensing delay and sensing energy consumption compared with the traditional energy detection method.

  • 60년대, 70년대 미국과 구소련의 우주경쟁으로 달 탐사 개발이후 진척이 미비하였으나, 최근 들어 미국의 달 탐사 프로젝트를 비롯하여, 우주 개발에 후발 주자라 할 수 있는 일본, 중국, 인도 등의 각국에서도 달 탐사 연구가 확대되고 있다. 국내에서도 그간 축적해 온 위성 기술을 바탕으로 달 탐사 개발에 대한 관심을 가지고, 이를 대비한 요소 기술의 확보가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 달 탐사 위성에 대한 요소기술 중 하나인 통신시스템을 STK(Satellite Tool Kit)를 이용한 시나리오로 설계한다. 설계한 시나리오를 통해 달 탐사 위성의 통신 링크를 분석하고, 달 궤도에서 지상국으로의 데이터 전송량을 도출함으로, 달 탐사 위성 궤도 임무에 따른 탐사 위성과 지상국간의 통신 링크 분석을 수행한다.

  • 오늘날 통신은 인터넷 사용의 증가 멀티미디어 서비스의 요구등으로 인해 점차 다량의 정보를 정확하고 신속하게 전송하기 위한 고속의 데이터 전송시스템이 요구되고 없으며, 머지않아 지구상공 20km 지점의 성층권에 플랫폼이라 불리는 위성을 띄워 고속의 정보 서비스가 가능할 것이다. 이 시스템은 레이저광을 사용함으로써 높은 데이터 전송율을 갖는 광무선통신망을 구축할 수 있으나, 대기공간을 전송채널로 사용하기 때문에 대기효과로 인한 극복해야할 많은 문제점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 교란대기 하에서 교란대기 효과에 따른 데이터 전송율과 비트오류율을 제시함으로써 교란대기효과가 광 위성통신시스템에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 한다.

  • Generally, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are used to collect image or video from earth's surface. The collected data are stored on-board and/or transmitted to the main ground station directly or via polar ground station using terrestrial line. Today, an intersatellite link between a LEO and a GEO satellite allows transmission of the collected data to the main ground station through the GEO satellite. In this study, an approach for a continuous communication starting from LEO through GEO to ground station is proposed by determining the optimum ground station locations. In doing so, diverse ground stations help to determine the GEO orbit as well. Cross-correlation of the long term daily rainfall averages are multiplied with the logarithmic correlation of the sites to calculate the joint correlation of the diverse ground station locations. The minimum values of this joint correlation yield the optimum locations of the ground stations for Q/V-band communication and satellite control operations. Results for several case studies are listed.

  • Satellite based communication is networks in which users in a wide area can access without wired-based ground infrastructure. In particular, the need is emerging due to the recent Ukraine-Russia war. Satellite network systems acquire data that is difficult to observe on Earth as well as communication networks and are also used for research and development, which allows additional data to be produced. However, due to the nature of communication networks existing in outer space, certain vulnerabilities are revealed, and attacks based on them can be exposed. In this paper, we analyze vulnerabilities that may arise due to the nature of satellite communication networks and describes current research, countermeasures, and future research directions.

  • 원격측정링크는 항공기의 움직임에 따라 안테나 이득과 편파가 실시간으로 변화하는 동적 통신링크이다. 본 논문에서는 항공기의 비행궤적, 자세, 3차원 안테나 패턴을 사용하여 실시간 탑재안테나 이득과 송수신 안테나의 편파 부정합을 계산하였다. 그리고 다중경로 환경을 2-Ray 둥근지구 반사지형으로 모델링하고, 항공기에서 송신한 RF 신호를 빔폭이 좁은 안테나로 수신할 때 수신신호세기를 예측하였다. 또한 비행시험을 실시하고 측정값과 예측값을 비교하여 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.
