KOMPSAT-2 (Korea Multi Purpose Satellite 2) which is scheduled to launch in 2005 year will communicate with KARI TTC (Tracking, Telemetry, and Command) station flying along sun synchronous orbits (685 km). The command from KARI TTC passes S-band omni-antenna, RF assembly, and transponder and finally reachs OBC (On Board Computer). The telemetry from KOMPSAT-2 arrives at KARI TTC through inverse procedure. In this paper, RF compatibility test between KOMPSAT-2 and KARI TTC station is demonstrated. RF interface for this test was established through real space and uplink signal test and downlink signal test and uplink & downlink signal test were performed.

As a transmitter sub-assembly in the XFP(10 Gb/s Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver module, a transmitter optical sub-assembly(TOSA) is designed, fabricated and characterized in view of electrical and thermal performances. For a low-cost and compact packaging TOSA, the bias-tee and the matching resistor are monolithically integrated on the AlN sub-mount and a newly designed coplanar waveguide is drawn in the TO-stem. All optoelectronic components packaged in the TOSA are modeled by the equivalent circuit, which helps to improve and characterize the TOSA performance. The fabricated TOSA shows the -3㏈ bandwidth as high as 11 GHz at an elevated temperature of 85$^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, we have described the performance improvement of surveillance radar to prevent damage or malfunction of surveillance radar RF head unit due to the strong reflections caused by artificial obstacles at close range. We have proposed a technique to improve the performance of the RF head unit as a solution to overcome the limitations of the operating system and improve radar performance. We have verified the effectiveness of the improvement by comparing the before and after results applied to actual system.

The traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA), which can be applied to the Ka-band millimeter-wave multi-mode seeker, consists of an high voltage power supply(HVPS), a grid modulator, a command and control, and an RF assembly. We designed a power supply that generates a -17.9 kV high voltage by synchronizing the pulse repetition frequency(PRF) and power supply switching frequency(i.e. synchronization frequency), and a high-speed grid-switching modulator for RF pulse modulation. The TWTA, which is fabricated through miniaturization with a volume of 3.18 L, has high pulse switching characteristics of up to 18.5 ns. The maximum rise/fall time of the grid on/bias signal and peak power is more than 564.9 W. Moreover, an excellent spurious performance of -68.4 dBc or less was confirmed within the range of PRF and PRF/2.

A transfer loading system for 21' RF band assembly box was developed in the present study. The weight of a box is approximately 60kgf End total weight of one day job per person is about $4,000kg_f$. For an efficient design and manufacturing process, three dimensional design and engineering technique were applied to the presented system. Motion analysis for a popup unit and structural analysis for belt part subjected to the load of box weight were performed, respectively. It was found that the evasion of duty and labor intensity is reduced after appling the developed system to manufacturing field of small and midium business.

Radio Frequency Test Set (RFTS) is essential to verify Telemetry, Command & Ranging (TC&R) RF subsystem of both Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite during Assembly Integration & Test (AI&T). The existing RFTS was specialized for each project and needed to be modified for each new satellite. The new design enables RFTS to be used in various projects. The hardware and software was designed considering this and therefore it could be directly used in other projects within a similar test period without modification or inconvenience. It will be also easily controlled, modified, and managed through the extension in modularization according to each function and the use of COTS (commercial on-the-self) and this will improve system reliability. A more reliable RF test measurement is also provided in this new RFTS by using an accurate reference clock signal.

최근 SOP에 대한 관심이 늘어나고 있으며 그에 따라 새로운 재료에 대한 관심도 증폭되고 있다. 예전의 단순한 신호 전달의 매개체 역할에서 벗어나 많은 수동 소자나 RF소자들을 내장하고 궁극적으로는 능동 소자까지 단일 기판위에 탑재하기 위해서는 기존의 RF 적인 전기적인 요구 특성 위에 많은 부가 특성들이 요구된다. 특히 SI이나 GaAs같은 능동 소자들과의 Assembly과정에서의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 낮은 선팽창 계수나 높은 탄성 계수 등의 기계적인 특성들이 요구되고 있으며 또한 점차 복잡한 회로 구조 등을 구현하기 위해 무수축이라는 새로운 공법 또한 요구되어 지고 있다. 그리고 사용주파수가 점차 높아짐에 따라 한편으로는 저유전율과 저손실의 재료가 요구되고 있으며 다른 한편으로는 embedded Capacitance의 요구에 맞춰 고유전율의 기판재료 또한 요구되어 지고 있다. 따라서 궁극적으로는 회로 구현의 목적에 따라 저유전율과 고유전율의 이종 재료의 접합이라는 문제 또한 자연스럽게 대두되고 있다. 이처럼 SoP에 대한 시장의 요구가 증가함에 따라 새로운 재료개발의 요구 또한 늘어나게 될 것으로 예상된다.

This paper suggests a specific model that could efficiently improve the interaction and the interface between MES(Manufacturing Execution System) server and PDA terminal through RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) system and bar-code system in automative transmission shipment place of the finished assembly parts. The proposed model shows that the new method by RF-Tag system can more efficiently perform to reduce processing time and loading time for shipment, compared with the current approach by bar-code system. It is noted in case of the method by RF-Tag that the effects of proposed model are as follows; (a) While the shipping lead time per truck for carrying by the current method was 35 minutes, the shipping lead time by the new method was 15 minutes. (b) While the accuracy for carrying by the current method was 50%, the accuracy by the new method was 99%.

In this paper, we designed a 4.5kW X-band SSPA transmitter to replace the TWTA search radar transmitter with low MTBF and high maintenance cost. The transmitter is designed for the performance of over 520W average transmission output and 4.0kW maximum transmission output. In particular, by implementing a graceful degradation, it is designed to maintain better performance than conventional TWTA transmitter up to 40% (13 assembly modules) failure level of 200W power amplifier assembly. Through an experiment on the effective range of X-band, the performance of proposed transmitter verified the values of the maximum transmission output 6.1kW, spurious output 69.16dBc, RF pulse rising time 15.2ns and RF pulse falling time 16.3ns. The experiment confirmed the change of output power according to the graceful degradation due to fault injection.

Optical axis misalignment, which represents the position deviation of the objective lens from the optical axis, is an inevitable assembly error in an optical pick-up. Since the laser power intensity varies with respect to the distance from the optical axis, the misalignment leads to variation of the laser spot power intensity, which is one of the critical factors increasing data bit-error-rate in optical disc drives. In this paper, an auto-adjustment scheme for optical axis alignment is proposed to eliminate the undesirable variation of the laser spot power intensity in optical disc drives. An envelope of the data RF signal is extracted and utilized to detect the optical axis misalignment. Then an adjustment input is added to the driving input of the tracking actuator to shift the objective lens to the optical axis. Finally, the feasibility is verified by experiments.
