Non-explosive shockless holding and release mechanism for a nano class small satellite application has been proposed and investigated. The great advantages of the mechanism are a much lower shock level and larger constraint force than the conventional mechanism using pyro and the heating wire cutting mechanism which has been generally applied to the cube satellite program. To investigate the effectiveness of the mechanism design, EM mechanism was developed and tested to verify the basic function of the mechanism. The test results indicate that the proposed mechanism is well functioning as the mechanism design intends.

The solar array regulator supplies the electric power to the battery and the other units of a satellite by controlling the operating point of a solar array. In this paper, the solar array regulator composed with analog circuits is proposed. The solar array regulator has three modes. The first is a maximum power point tracking mode for harvesting the maximum photovoltaic power generation. The second is a power limitation mode which is designed for optimizing the volume and weight of the solar array regulator by preventing the excessive power conversion. The last constant voltage mode is proposed to keep the Li-Ion battery is not over-charge. The small signal model of the solar array regulator which has the reversed input and output variables in comparison with conventional converter is established and the stability is analysed. Finally, the proposed design of the solar array regulator is verified by experiments.

The purpose of this investigation is to generate true orthophotos from high resolution satellite images. The major works of this research include 4 parts: (1) determination of orientation parameters, (2) generating traditional orthophotos using terrain model, (3) relief correction for buildings, and (4) process for hidden areas. To determine the position of satellites, we correct the onboard orientation parameters to fine tune the orbit. In the generation of traditional orthophotos, we employ orientation parameters and digital terrain model(DTM) to rectify tilt displacements and relief displacements for terrain. We, then, compute relief displacements for buildings with digital building model (DBM). To avoid double mapping, we detect hidden areas. Due to the satellite’s small field of view, an efficient method for the detection of hidden areas and building rectification will be proposed in this paper. Test areas cover the city of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan. Test images are from the QuickBird satellite.

In recent years satellite data have been increasingly used for the analysis of floodprone areas. This study was carried out to demonstrate the usefulness of repetitive satellite imagery in monitoring flood levels of the Pyungchang watershed. Runoff characteristics parameters were analyzed by Soil Conservation Service(SCS) Runoff Curve Number(RCN) based on Landsat imagery and Digital Terrain Model data. The RCN average within the watershed was calculated from RCN estimates for all the pixels(picture elements) and adjusted by antecedent precipitation conditions. The direct runoff hydrograph was derived from the unit hydrograph using SCS dimensionless unit hydrograph and effective rainfalls estimated by the SCS method. In comparsion of the direct runoff hydrograph with the measured rating curve their peak times differ by one hour and peak discharges differ by 5.9 percents of the discharge from each other. It was shown that repetitive satellite image could be very useful in timely estimating watershed runoffs and evaluating ever-changing surface conditions of a river basin.

This study is to apply QuickBird satellite image for the simulation of storm runoff in a small rural watershed. For a $1.05km^2$ watershed located in Goesan-Gun of Chungbuk Province, the land use from the QuickBird image was produced by on-screening digitising after ortho-rectifying using 2 m DEM. For 3 cases of land use, soil and elevation scale (1:5,000, 1:25,000 and 1:50,000), SCS-CN and the watershed physical parameters were prepared for the storm runoff model, HEC-HMS (Hydrologic Modelling System). The model was evaluated for each case and compared the simulated results with couple of selected storm events.

위성방송수신 및 위성 양방향 인터넷, VSAT 등의 위성통신서비스를 차량 이동 시에도 이용할 수 있기 위해서는 차량에 탑재하기 용이하도록 소형이며 높이가 낮은 안테나 구조가 요구된다. 또한 중위도 지역에서 평면 안테나 상태로 45도 빔틸트 특성을 갖고, Ku 밴드의 위성통신용으로 충분한 고이득을 얻기 위해, 빔폭이 좁고 사이드로브가 적으며 저손실 구조의 배열안테나 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 성능을 만족시키기 위해, 진행파형 누설파 모드를 기초로 한 수직 편파로 동작하는 도파관 종방향 슬롯 배열안테나를 제안하였다. 16개 누설파 소자의 배열안테나 이득은 30 dBi 이었으며, 빔폭은 4.9도, 사이드로브 레벨은 -20 dB 이하, 중심주파수에서 빔틸트 각도는 45도를 얻었다. 급전선로는 도파관의 병렬급전 방식으로 설계하여 광대역, 저손실 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

GPS has been increasingly exploited to provide positioning and navigation solutions for a variety of applications. In vessel berthing application, however, there are stringent requirements in terms of positioning accuracy, availability and integrity that cannot be satisfied by GPS alone. This is because the performance of satellite-based positioning and navigation systems are heavily dependent on both the number and the geometric distribution of satellite tracked by receivers. Due to the limited number of GPS satellites, a sufficient number of ‘visible’ satellites cannot be sometimes guaranteed. This paper discusses some issues associated with the implementation of ground-based pseudolite augmentation for vessel berthing. Pseudolite means small transmitter that transmits GPS-like signals in local area. Actually, pseudolite can play three different roles in GPS augmentation scheme, depending on the operational conditions. Firstly, in the case of kinematic GPS operation where there are no signal blockages, and more than five satellites are available, additional pseudolites strengthen the GPS satellite-pseudolite geometry, and more accurate and reliable positioning solution can be achieved. Secondly, in the case when there are adverse GPS operational environments in which the number of tracked satellites is less than four, pseudolites can complement the GPS signals. In the third case, GPS signals are completely unavailable, such as when operated indoor. In such cases the pseudolites can replace the satellite constellation. However, the first role will be considered in this paper, since more than four satellite signals can usually be tracked in most marine applications. This paper presents that the pseudolite-augmented precise positioning system can provides continuous centimeter-level positioning accuracy through comparison analysis of RDOP simulation result of the GPS satellite constellation and the pseudolite-augmented GPS satellite constellation.

최근 데이터 처리용량 증대에 대한 수요를 만족시키기 위해서, 전파 자원을 효율적으로 사용하고 네트워크 용량을 증대시키는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 현재 차세대 5G 이동통신망의 핵심적인 기술로서 소형 셀 네트워크, 밀리미터파대역 그리고 빔포밍이 존재한다. 그러나 밀리미터파대역의 전파특성이 기존에 사용되고 있는 대역의 것과 상이하기 때문에, 기존 대역을 사용하는 무선통신시스템이 재설계되어야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 실외환경에서 60GHz의 셀 네트워크에 대한 3D 시뮬레이션 모델을 논의한다. 거리 협곡 시뮬레이션 환경 등을 포함한 일반적인 도심 환경에서 소형 셀 시스템에 대한 커버리지와 시스템 성능을 분석한다. 또한, 데이터 처리용량의 개선을 분석하기 위해 빔포밍의 적용을 고려하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 밀리미터파 소형 셀 기반의 시스템이 데이터 전송속도 측면에서 5G의 요구사항을 충족시킬 수 있는 주요 후보 기술 중의 하나가 될 것으로 기대된다.

OTM(On-The-Move) 위성통신 시스템은 차량에 탑재되어 고속 주행하거나 요동이 심한 지역을 주행하면서 위성 통신 링크를 안정적으로 유지하여야 한다. 따라서 열악한 환경에서도 정밀 추적이 가능하고, 차량에 탑재할 수 있도록 소형/경량화된 위성 추적 시스템이 필요하다. 2개의 슬롯(slot)으로 구성된 단일 모드 커플러를 사용하여, 원형 편파 특성을 이용하여 하나의 물리적 채널로 상하, 좌우 2개의 차신호를 동시에 비콘 수신기까지 전달하는 방안을 제안하고, 측정된 추적 오차신호를 제시한다.

Road information is very important for topographic mapping, transportation application, urban planning and other related application fields. Therefore, automatic detection of road networks from spatial imagery, such as aerial photos and satellite imagery can play a central role in road information acquisition. In this paper, we use least squares correlation matching alone for road center tracking and show that it works. We assumed that (bright) road centerlines would be visible in the image. We further assumed that within a same road segment, there would be only small differences in brightness values. This algorithm works by defining a template around a user-given input point, which shall lie on a road centerline, and then by matching the template against the image along the orientation of the road under consideration. Once matching succeeds, new match proceeds by shifting a matched target window further along road orientation at the target window. By repeating the process above, we obtain a series of points, which lie on a road centerline successively. A 1m resolution IKONOS images over Seoul and Daejeon were used for tests. The results showed that this algorithm could extract road centerlines in any orientation and help in fast and exact he ad-up digitization/vectorization of cartographic images.
