본 논문은 21GHz 대역의 위성방송 서비스의 품질을 보장하기 위하여 스케일러블 위성 방송 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안한 시스템은 비디오 스트림을 기본 계층과 향상 계층의 두 계층으로 분할하여 Ku 대역과 Ka 대역으로 각각 나누어 전송한다. 이에 스케일러블 위성방송 시스템은 강우로 인하여 Ka 대역의 채널을 사용할 수 없을 때에도 기본 계층의 스트림을 사용하여 기본적인 품질을 유지할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 H.264/SVC를 적용하여 스케일러블 위성방송 시스템을 구현하였고, 이의 동작을 검증하기 위하여 Bartlett-Lewis Pulse 모델을 사용하여 강우 감쇠를 시뮬레이션 하였다.

Two Ka-band 3-stage power amplifiers were designed and fabricated using $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. For low loss matching networks for the amplifiers, two substrate-shielded transmission line structures, having good modeling accuracy up to 40 GHz were used. The measured insertion loss of substrate-shielded microstrip-line (MSL) was 0.5 dB/mm at 27 GHz. A 3-stage CMOS amplifier using substrate-shielded MSL achieved a 14.7-dB small-signal gain and a 14.5-dBm output power at 27 GHz in a compact chip area of 0.83$mm^2$. The measured insertion loss of substrate-shielded coplanar waveguide (CPW) was 1.0 dB/mm at 27 GHz. A 3-stage amplifier using substrate-shielded CPW achieved a 12-dB small-signal gai and a 12.5-dBm output power at 26.5 GHz. This results shows a potential of CMOS technology for low cost short-range wireless communication components and system.

The main goal of the Korean VLBI Network Calibrator Survey (KVNCS) is to expand the VLBI calibrators catalog for KVN, KaVA (KVN and VERA Array), EAVN (East-Asian VLBI Network), and other extended regions. The second KVNCS (KVNCS2) aimed to detect VLBI fringes of new candidates for calibrators in the K band. Out of the 1533 sources whose single-dish flux density in the K band was measured with KVN telescopes (Lee et al. 2017), 556 sources were observed with KVN in the K band. KVNCS2 confirmed the detection of VLBI fringes of 424 calibrator candidates over a single baseline. All detected sources had a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of >25. Finally, KVNCS2 confirmed 347 new candidates as VLBI calibrators in the K band, resulting in a 5% increase in the sky coverage compared to previous studies. The spatial distribution was quasi-uniform across the observable region (Dec. > -32.5°). In addition, the possibility as calibrator candidates for the detected sources was checked, using an analysis of the flux-flux relationship. Ultimately, the KVNCS catalog will not only become the VLBI calibrator list but is also useful as a database of compact radio sources for astronomical studies.

In this paper, we designed a reconfigurable mixer for microwave broadband receiver. The proposed mixer using a anti-parallel diode is operated as a fundamental mixer or sub-harmonic mixer with respect to a control voltage. A fundamental mixer with a control voltage show a conversion loss of -10 dB, 1 dB compression point of 2.0 dBm at X-band/ Ku-band. On the other hand, it is performed as a sub-harmonic mixer with a conversion loss of -17 dB, 1 dB compression point of 2.0 dBm at Ka-band.

In this paper, we design and fabricate a VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) for radar detector of X/K/Ka band using frequency multiplier. The existing VCO operated in radar detector have many Problems such as narrow bandwidth, slow frequency variable rate, unstable of production due to high frequency. So we design and fabricate a VCO improved such problems using frequency multiplier. As a result of measure, investigated frequency multiple VCO show its output power 3.64 dBm at multiplied operating frequency 11.27 GHz and have wide frequency tuning range of 660 MHz by controlled voltage 0V to 4.50 V applied diode. And also its phase noise is -104.0 dEc at 1 MHz offset frequency so we obtain suitable performance for commercial use.

In this paper a K-band harmonic oscillator competitive to ordinary Push-Push type oscillators is introduced. This oscillator is composed of two-X-band dielectric resonance circuits. To favor its harmonic generation, the load effect and the bias effect are studied to allow the maximum harmonic distortion. As results, the dielectric resonated load and the class A bias are used for the 2nd harmonic generation. analytical study for modelling of voltage controlled dielectric resonator is carried out with theoretical background. The performance of the circuit is evaluated by simulation using harmonic balanced method. The novel structure has ont only a voltage tuning circuit but also an output port at fundamental frequency as the function of prescaler for phase lockede loop application on the just single oscillation structure. In experimentation, the output freqneyc of the 2nd harmonic signal is 20.5GHz and the maximum power level of output is +5.5dBm without additional post amplifiers. the harmonic oscillator exhibits -30dBc of high fundamental frequency rejection without added extra filters. The phase noise of -90dBc/Hz at 100kHz off-carrier has been achieved under free running condition, that satisfies phase noise requirement of IESS 308. The proposed oscillator may be utilized as the clean and stable fixed local oscillator in Transmit Block Upconvertor(TBU) or Low oise Block downconvertor(LNB) for K/Ka-band digital communications and satellite broadcastings.

In this paper, we studied hierarchical channel coding scheme using unequal error protection method fur consecutively broadcastingservice under the rain attenuation of Ka band satellite broadcasting. Unlike time-sharing methods, which are design for different channel coding scheme in according to different modulation, unequal error protection method is made in such way that minimum distance between signals are different for importance of signals with same modulation. Consequently we proposed optimal method according to performance analysis.

The COMS, Korea's first geostationary multipurpose satellite program will accommodate 3 kind of payloads; Ka-Band communication transponder, GOCI (Geostationary Ocean Color Imager), and MI (Meteorological Imager). MI raw data will be transferred to ground station via L-band link. The ground station will perform image data processing for raw data, generate them into the LRIT/HRIT format, the user dissemination data recommended by the CGMS. The LRIT/HRIT are disseminated via satellite to user stations. This paper shows the COMS LRIT data generation procedure based on COMS LRIT specification and its verification results using the LRIT user station.
