In this paper, the design of the RF system monitoring and control system of KUS (KASS: KASS Uplink Station) which constitutes KASS (Korea Augmentation Satellite System) is described. The Korean satellite calibration system is named KASS and aims to develop the SBAS system of the APV-1 level SoL service level and the CAT-1 test operation technology. Software and hardware development environment, function and algorithm of supervisory control device, structure of supervisory control device, and user interface were designed to implement KUS / RFS monitoring control device. We have secured the stability and reliability of the system by using the monitoring and control system design of the COMS (Communication Ocean & Meteorological Satellite) and the Korea Satellite 5A / 7 control system, which has already been used for the design of the surveillance control system. In addition, we have made it possible to provide the user interface according to the actual operator's request more conveniently.

The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) broadcasts to users integrity and correction information for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) such as GPS and GLONASS using geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites. In accordance with the recommendation of the International Civilian Aeronautical Organization (ICAO) to introduce SBAS until 2025, a Korean SBAS system development / construction project is underway with the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) is a high precision GPS correction system which is composed of KASS Reference Station (KRS), KASS Processing Station (KPS), KASS Uplink Station (KUS), KASS Control Station (KCS) and GEO satellites. In this paper, we provided the conceptual design of the KASS uplink station, which is composed of the Signal Generator Section (SGS) and the Radio-Frequency Section (RFS), and interface between the KASS ground sector and the GEO satellite.
