Fault detection and isolation (FDI) algorithms provide fault monitoring methods in GPS measurement to isolate abnormal signals from the GPS satellites or the acquired signal in receiver. In order to monitor the occurred faults, FDI generates test statistics and decides the case that is beyond a designed threshold as a fault. For such problem of fault detection and isolation, this paper presents and evaluates position domain integrity monitoring methods by formulating various pseudorange prediction methods and investigating the resulting test statistics. In particular, precise measurements like carrier phase and Doppler rate are employed under the assumption of fault free carrier signal. The presented position domain algorithm contains the following process; first a common pseudorange prediction formula is defined with the proposed variations in pseudorange differential update. Next, a threshold computation is proposed with the test statistics distribution considering the elevation angle. Then, by examining the test statistics, fault detection and isolation is done for each satellite channel. To verify the performance, simulations using the presented fault detection methods are done for an ideal and real fault case, respectively.

A satellite communication (Satcom) antenna mounted on a moving platform provides a controlled heading that enables a geosynchronous satellite to communicate with the ground. A monopulse tracking method is effective for antenna control on a vehicle when it vibrates severely. However, this method has unexpected obstacles and its control performance is insufficient. To improve its control performance, the control command and monopulse error, the signal delay, and the radome effect are evaluated through tests. The authors then propose a method to transform the antenna error from 3D coordinates to 2D antenna coordinates. As a result, the antenna control performance is improved. As indicated in this study, examining antenna systems using the monopulse method on moving platforms is possible by understanding the antenna test process.

This paper is concerned with the design of the beam forming module that is a key unit of the active phased array antenna(APAA) system for mobile satellite communications. This module includes two blocks for main signal and tracking signal. Main signal block has the role of transmitting input signal from phased away antenna to tracking signal block. And, tracking signal block executes main roles, beam forming of tracking signal and electronic beam control. The several electrical performances of this module, phase characteristics and linear gain, etc., agreed with specifications needed for APAA, and for more clear verification of the performances, the satellite communication test of the APAA including the modules was accomplished in the outdoors.

The Objective of this work was to design Surface Antenna Structure (SAS) and investigate fatigue behavior of SAS that was asymmetric sandwich structure. This term, SAS, indicates that structural surface becomes antenna. Constituent materials were selected considering electrical properties, dielectric constant and tangent loss as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, SSFIP elements inserted into structural layers were designed for satellite communication at a resonant frequency of 12.5 GHz and final demonstration article was 16${\times}$8 array antenna. From electrical measurements, it was shown that antenna performances were in good agreement with design requirements. In cyclic 4-point bending, flexure behavior was investigated by static and fatigue test. Fatigue lift curve of SAS was obtained. The fatigue load was determined experimentally at a 0.75(1.875kN) load level. SAS concept is the first serious attempt at integration for both antenna and composite engineers and promises innovative future communication technology.

At lift-off, the jet noise of launch vehicle produces a severe acoustic environment and the loads induced by the acoustic pressure may be damaging to paylaod and equipments. Prediction of the acoustic environment is needed to support the design and test-qualification of components. Currently, such a high frequency problem is usually dealt with by using the SEA, of which the assumptions match reasonably well with the vibro-acoustic condition of system. (omitted)

Since satellite images generally include clouds in the atmosphere, it is essential to detect or mask clouds before satellite image processing. Clouds were detected using physical characteristics of clouds in previous research. Cloud detection methods using deep learning techniques such as CNN or the modified U-Net in image segmentation field have been studied recently. Since image segmentation is the process of assigning a label to every pixel in an image, precise pixel-based dataset is required for cloud detection. Obtaining accurate training datasets is more important than a network configuration in image segmentation for cloud detection. Existing deep learning techniques used different training datasets. And test datasets were extracted from intra-dataset which were acquired by same sensor and procedure as training dataset. Different datasets make it difficult to determine which network shows a better overall performance. To verify the effectiveness of the cloud detection network such as Cloud-Net, two types of networks were trained using the cloud dataset from KOMPSAT-3 images provided by the AIHUB site and the L8-Cloud dataset from Landsat8 images which was publicly opened by a Cloud-Net author. Test data from intra-dataset of KOMPSAT-3 cloud dataset were used for validating the network. The simulation results show that the network trained with KOMPSAT-3 cloud dataset shows good performance on the network trained with L8-Cloud dataset. Because Landsat8 and KOMPSAT-3 satellite images have different GSDs, making it difficult to achieve good results from cross-sensor validation. The network could be superior for intra-dataset, but it could be inferior for cross-sensor data. It is necessary to study techniques that show good results in cross-senor validation dataset in the future.

극초소형 위성으로 분류되는 큐브위성의 경우, 표준화된 위성의 크기로 인하여 위성의 전력생성을 목적으로 하는 태양전지판 장착을 위한 공간이 극히 제한적이며, 자세제어 적용 방식에 따라서는 태양전지판에 입사되는 태양광의 각도가 변화하고 이는 태양전지의 전력생성 양을 결정하는 주요 요인으로 작용한다. 본 논문에서는 극초소형 위성 적용을 목적으로 태양광과 태양전지판이 이루는 각도가 $0^{\circ}$인 조건에서도 태양전지판 외곽에 배치된 렌즈어레이를 통해 태양광을 효율적으로 조사하여 전력생성 효율 향상이 가능한 우주용 집광형 태양전력 시스템을 제안하였으며, 극초소형 위성으로의 적용 가능성 검토를 위해 상용 렌즈어레이를 적용한 기능시험을 통해 유효성을 입증하였다.
