Resolution 122 requires to study power limitation applicable for HAPS ground stations to facilitate sharing with space station receivers in 47/48GHz bands. ITU-R Recommendation 1481-1 recommends to improve the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antenna for frequency sharing between FSS system and HAPS system. In this paper, we propose the maximum allowable off-axis e.i.r.p. level of HAPS ground station antennas by considering power limitation to HAPS ground station in Resolution 122, and by improving the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antennas in Recommendation SF.1481-1. The simulation results show that the unfeasible sharing distance between HAPS ground station and FSS earth station can be reduced remarkably, and give the possibility of frequency sharing between two above systems.

ITU-R Recommendation 1481-1 recommends to improve the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antenna for sharing between FSS system and HAPS system. Thus, in this paper, we propose maximum allowable off-axis e.i.r.p. level of HAPS ground station antennas by considering power limitation to HAPS ground station in Resolution 122 in order to reduce unfeasible separate distance between HAPS and GSO FSS service coverage and improve the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antennas in Recommendation SF.1481-1.

HVDC converter station consists of a number of equipment such as converter transformer, ac filter, thyristor valve and so on. They can be acoustic noise sources. In this paper, we analyzed the simulation results of the outdoor acoustic noise for HVDC converter station. It shows that maximum noise level in boundary of HVDC converter station exceeds regulation value. The main factors in generating maximum noise level are ac filter and converter transformer. Then we applied some soundproof countermeasures in HVDC converter station. Shielding wall is enough to reduce transformer noise level but not enough to reduce ac filter noise level. In case of ac filter, soundproof building is effective in satisfying noise level regulation in boundary of HVDC converter station. In addition, we also studied effects of season, soundproof woods, ground.

As more satellites are designed to downlink their observed image data through the X-band frequency band, it is inevitable that the occupied bandwidth of a target satellite will overlap with that of other X-band downlink satellites. For sun-synchronized low earth orbit satellites, in particular, it can be expected that two or more satellites be placed within the looking angle of a ground station antenna at the same time. Due to the overlapping in the frequency band, signals transmitted from the adjacent satellites act as interferers, leading to degraded link performance between target satellite and ground station. In this paper, link analysis was initiated by modeling the radiation pattern of ground station antenna through a validated Jet Propulsion Laboratory peak envelope model. From the relative antenna gain depending on the offset angle from center axis of maximum antenna directivity, the ratio of received interference signal level to the target signal level was calculated. As a result, it was found that the degradation increased when the offset angle was within the first point of radiation pattern. For a 7.3 m antenna, serious link degradation began at an offset angle of 0.4 degrees. From this analysis, the link performance of the coming satellite passes can be recognized, which is helpful to establish an operating procedure that will prevent the ground station from receiving corrupted image data in the event of a degraded link.

When the trains are passed the station, a serious force is applied to ground and the caused vibration is propagated to the area of the station by the ground and rocks. The caused vibration brings about the operation interruption of the equipment which is sensitive to the vibration, or will bring about the structural damage of the station. In this study, to investigate the vibrational evaluation of railway station by the train service, the vibration simulation was performed and analyzed the effect of the vibration isolating countermeasure. From the vibration measurement, all trains that passed through the station exceeded the vibration criteria. Therefore, the vibration isolating countermeasure was established and the vibration simulation was performed.

We have installed the borehole seismic recording system at Hyodongri in eastern part of Kyungsan Basin, which has the advantages of reduction in noise by human activities and distorting effects of near-surface rocks. Here we describe briefly the borehole seismic station and recording system. And we analyse the characteistics of back ground the station obtained from borehole sensors. The back ground noise level in time domain is about 50~100$\mu$cm/sec. The average curve of noise spectrum is lower than NHNM(New High Noise Model)of GSN(Global Seismic Network)operated by USGS. The results could be useful prior information for study on earthquake records observed at Hydongri station.

During the COMS system level test, the RF compatibility will be performed in order to verify that there is no issue in RF interface between satellite and COMS ground station, namely SOC (Satellite Operation Center) before the launch. As used for KOMPSAT1, the RF coaxial cable was chosen to be used to connect satellite and SOC with various advantages as compared with ground antennas. As the preparation step, RF cable and required multiplexer were tested in advance. This paper suggests the way for the RF compatibility tests between the satellite and the SOC over RF cable interface and presents the estimated level diagram as the signal power analysis result.

Korean society experienced successive earthquakes exceeding 5.0 magnitude in the past three years resulting in an increasing concern about earthquake stability of urban infrastructures. This study focuses on the significant aspects of earthquake risk assessment for the cut-and-cover underground railway station based on two-dimensional dynamic numerical analysis. Presented are features from a case study performed for the railway station in Seoul, South Korea. The PLAXIS2D was employed for numerical simulation and input of the earthquake ground motion was chosen from Pohang earthquake records (M5.4). The paper shows key aspects of earthquake risk for soil-structure system varying important parameters including embedded depth, supported ground information, and applied seismicity level, and then draws several meaningful conclusions from the analysis results such as seismic risk assessment.

As determined single coaxial cable for the interface between satellite and ground station in COMS RF compatibility test, RF supporting unit was required to allow signals in different frequency-band to be exchanged in the single coaxial cable. In addition, the path loss between satellite and ground station in normal operation should be simulated through two RF supporting units connected to the ends of single coaxial cable. As an effort to design RF supporting unit, level diagram was firstly conducted on the basis of measured data for each element. From the level diagram, it was found that single coaxial cable connected with two RF supporting units properly represented the path loss between satellite and ground station After RF supporting unit was integrated on aluminum plate, it was tested that input signal level at each test cap linked with MODCS and TC&R was tunable within the required dynamic range. RF supporting unit, now completely integrated, will be applied in the upcoming COMS RF compatibility test.
