This paper presents the development of a satellite antenna tracking control system using a plane antenna for mobile DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting) reception. To track more rapidly in the antenna of this system, this simple tracking system only tracks a direction of azimuth using pendulum in the direction of elevation. This system should track using the AGC(Automatic Gain Control) of the signal level which can receive DAB in spite of the changing of point and movement of the mobile. The directional gyro sensor is attached to solve the delay time in the Proposed tracking algorithm. The effectiveness of both the stabilization and tracking algorithm is demonstrated through experiment measuring AGC signal level. The implemented satellite antenna tracking control system is shown to be excellent for mobile DAB reception.

Nowadays, the tracking technology of Quadrant Detector will become actual by new micro devices. Based on the past filed data of the reception experiment with COMETS satellite, we have studied on new device (AD8302, phase difference detector) was acquired and suspect its abilities. In 1998, we have developed a Quadrant Detector for mobile to track a weak signal from satellite on Ka band of COMETS. The Quadrant Detector is comprised of four dedicated feed components for reception under an environment of Nakagami - Rician fading, and one transmission and reception feed component. We were successful in receiving a 23 GHz beacon signal from ICE transponder of the COMETS and succeeded in tracking the satellite from a moving vehicle at speeds of approximately 10 ~ 20 Km/h on paved roads. In 2018, with new device AD8302, we have verified new QD system and performed a simulation, based on the past filed experiment. This new device shall be improving the tracking abilities from mobile body on the earth to the multimedia satellite.

본 논문은 현재 직접 위성수신용 안테나로 사용 중인 파라볼릭 안테나를 대체할 수 있는 마이크로스트립 어레이 안테나를 연구하였다. 마이크로스트립 어레이 안테나는 극히 제한적인 분야에서 사용되었으나 직접위성 수신용 안테나와 같이 우리 실생활에 직접 적용할 수 있다면 많은 분야에서 활용이 예상된다. 마이크로스트립 어레이 안테나가 직접 위성수신용 안테나로 활용되려면 우선적으로 광대역 특성이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문의 목표를 직접 위성수신을 위한 광대역 주파수 대역이 보장되는 안테나 설계기술로 설정하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 마이크로스트립 안테나는 사각형 패치에 직교하는 두 개의 급전선로에 의해서 급전되도록 하였으며 순차 회전 급전기술로 광대역에서 좋은 축비를 얻을 수 있도록 설계하였다. 사각형 패치는 위성수신 주파수 대역에서 설계되었으며 폭과 길이는 W=L=8.9 mm ($0.352{\lambda}o$)이며 전체 크기는 $250{\times}250mm$이다. 제안된 안테나는 기존 급전방식의 안테나에 비해서 1 dB 이상의 축비가 개선되는 것을 실험을 통하여 입증하였다. 안테나의 성능 입증을 위해서 두 개의 $8{\times}8$ 어레이 안테나를 제작하여 실험하였다. 안테나의 최대 이득은 20.8 dB, 사이드로브 레벨 -10 dB 이하를 확인하였다. 본 논문의 안테나를 국내 무궁화 위성수신 시스템에 적용한다면 C/N=6.7 dB의 수신성능이 확보됨을 링크버짓 계산을 통하여 입증하였다.

This study is a Ku-band array antenna for the manufacture of low-orbit satellite communication terminals, designed to have miniaturization, high gain, and wide beam width. The transmission of low-orbit satellite communication has a right-rotating circularly polarized wave, and the reception has a left-rotating circularly polarized wave. The 4×8 array antenna was separated for transmission and reception, and it was combined with the RF circuit part of the transmitter and receiver, and was terminated in the form of a waveguide for RF signal impedance matching in the form of a transition from the microstrip line to the waveguide. The 30° beam width of the receiver maximum gain of 19 dBi and the 29° beam width of the transmitter maximum gain of 18 dBi are shown. Through this antenna configuration, the system was configured to suit the low-orbit satellite transmission/reception characteristics.

본 논문은 이동하는 차량에서 DBS를 수신하기 위한 위성 추적 안테나 제어시스템의 성능을 기술하고 있다. 이 시스템의 안정도와 추적속도 개선을 위해, 방향센서의 기능이 종래의 좌우 추적 알고리즘에 추가되었다. DBS 수신을 위해 제작된 안테나 시스템의 위성 추적 실험이 고속도로와 도심지역에서 수행되었다. 고속도로에서 측정된 AGC 신호레벨은 TV 시청이 가능한 레벨 이상으로 관측되었다. 따라서 방향센서로 보상된 추적 알고리즘을 가진 하드웨어시스템의 우수한 성능이 확인되었다.

The real-time reception and recording of down-link mission data from a satellite requires the highest reliability because the data lost in receiving process cannot be recovered. The data receiving and recording system has moved from a set of dedicated hardware and software components to commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components in order to reduce the system cost as well as to upgrade the system easily for handling other satellite data. The use of COTS hardware and middleware components prevents the system developer from correcting or modifying the internal operations of the COTS components, and hence, instant performance degradation of the COTS components which affects the reliable data acquisition must be covered by a software algorithm. This paper introduces the instant performance problem of a COTS data recording device which leads to the data loss in the real-time data reception and recording process. As a result, the requirement of the modification of the conventional data read/write technique is issued. In order to overcome the data loss problem due to the use of COTS components and the conventional software technique, a new algorithm called a software buffering technique is proposed. The experiments show that the application of the proposed technique results in reliable real-time reception and recording of high speed serial data.

This study analyzed positioning accuracy of the multi-differential global navigation satellite system (DGNSS) algorithm that integrated GPS, GLONASS, and BDS. Prior to the analysis, four sites of which satellite observation environment was different were selected, and satellite observation environments for each site were analyzed. The analysis results of the algorithm performance at each of the survey points showed that high positioning performance was obtained by using DGPS only without integration of satellite navigation systems in the open sky environment but the positioning performance of multi-DGNSS became higher as the satellite observation environments degraded. The comparison results of improved positioning performance of the multi-DGNSS at the poor reception environment compared to differential global positioning system (DGPS) positioning results showed that horizontal accuracy was improved by 78% and vertical accuracy was improved by 65% approximately.

This paper describes a design for a RF receiver to receive satellite digital audio service. The RF receiver designed in this study is a planar structure that is easy to install on the rooftop of a car and is compact in size. In addition, it can be applied to certain commercial models because it has low noise and high gain characteristics. The impedance bandwidth of antenna is 17.8%(415MHz), and the axial ratio is below 3dB as good properties for the bandwidth of 40MHz which is a satellite digital audio service band. Also, it had a broad radiation beamwidth of $95.41^{\circ}$ in H-plane and $117.45^{\circ}$ in E-plane. From the results of the field test of satellite digital audio service reception for the RF receiver, it demonstrated good C/N rate(10.2dB).
