In this paper, we studied the compact MIMO(: Multi-Input Multi-Output) antenna for multi-beam pattern generation and control in narrow space. The characteristics and performance of the basic Dipole SPA and Monopole SPA structures are shown. We implemented a monopole SPA antenna and measured its performance in an 802.11g system. When the average transmission rate was measured using the SPA antenna, the SPA antenna improved the best performance by 8.7 times compared to commercial antenna.

This study describes the design and implementation of Antenna for Digital Satellite Communication. The Antenna unit for SHF band consists of Reflector, Septom Polarizer, Feed Horn and Support Frame etc. Thought analysis of space environment before production, the possibility of the malfunction of equipment minimized and we designed a reliable Antenna through simulation for vibration and thermal analysis generated during the launch, and compared pre-simulation of main performance results to test results about main performances of Antenna after production. After fabricating the antenna, the maximum gain of the antenna main beam is 36.5dBi, which satisfies the requirement of 35dBi or more, and it also satisfies the requirement of -20dB for return loss of less than -24dB. Also, the isolation of the transmission and reception of the antenna is -22.6dB or less, which satisfies the requirement of -20dB or less. The antenna for digital satellite communication described in this paper can be used in the satellite field of geostationary earth orbit and low earth orbit requiring high reliability in the future.

In this paper, we designed axis-displaced Gregorian antenna by using Ray-tracing method. This antenna improves gain, VSWR by rotating the axis of the sub-reflector to get rid of E-field wave returned from sub-reflector to feed horn. Therefore it reduce the sub-reflector size and the volume of antenna. This method is used to track the propagation path for radiation pattern of feed horn from feed horn to sub-reflector, main-reflector and air. We get E-field distribution of this antenna aperture and calculate antenna radiation pattern and optimize the antenna performance. The Ray-tracing Method was verified because the gain, radiation patterns, side lobe level, beam width and return loss of the designed antenna are very similar to CST simulation result and a measured result of the fabricated antenna.

In this paper, a new distributed space-time coded (DS-TCed) non-orthogonal decode-and-forward (NDF) protocol with source antenna switching (SAS) is proposed, where two antennas associated with each radio frequency chain can be alternatively used in the first and second phases. Several DSTC schemes for the NDF with SAS (NDF-SAS) protocol are proposed and their average pairwise error probability for the error-free source-relay (SR) channel is also derived. The simulation results show that the NDF-SAS protocol achieves larger diversity order than the NDF protocol under the error-free and erroneous SR channels.

In this paper, the performance of a multiuser diversity system combined with a multi-element transmit antenna system is analyzed under the assumption of independent Rayleigh fading. A measure of system .level performance is an average channel capacity as a function of the number of users and antennas. Average channel capacity is obtained from the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) distribution combined by both transmit diversity(TD) at each link and multiuser diversity at system level. Numerical results show that closed-loop antenna techniques provide an additional gain with multiuser diversity system due to array gain, even though space diversity gain reduces multiuser diversity gain. On the other hand, the space-time block coding(STBC) that provides full order space diversity gain only has a destructive influence on multiuser diversity.

COMS will transmit its observed data, Sensor Data, through L-Band with linear polarization. To avoid link loss caused by polarization discrepancy between satellite and SOC DATS, the L-Band antenna at SOC DATS should be linearly polarized. However, SOC DATS is supposed to share single antenna with SOC TTC, so the antenna should be circularly polarized. To cope with about 3dB loss, SOC DATS is designed to receive Sensor Data through two orthogonal circular polarizations, RHCP (Right-Hand Circular Polarization) and LHCP (Left-Hand Circular Polarization). Eventually, SOC DATS can obtain 2.6dB of combining gain through diversity combiner in MODEM/BB. This paper presents the verification on the diversity combining of SOC DATS with test configuration and results in depth.

We need a transmission of high quality and capacity according to a fast supply of mobile communication terminal. As multipath fading occured in high speed transmission, adaptive array antenna habe been studied to solve such a demand. DOA(Direction of Arrival) estimation play a important .ole in adaptive a..ay antenna. This paper present a space time blind identification using second order statistics and present blind space time adaptive array antenna. Also we verified a effect of the presented method.

This paper discusses the practical issue of the bias estimation of the KOREASAT ground tracking data. First, a batch filter based orbit determination algorithm including the turn around range measurement in addition to the range, azimuth and elevation measurement is presented. Then the estimation performance is analyzed through simulation studies. Additionally, this paper proposes a tracking antenna bias estimation strategies using accurately tuned secondary ground tracking station. Finally the relationship between antenna biases are analyzed to give comprehensive tool for estimation results evaluation.

For dual-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) decode-and-forward relaying systems, we propose a selective relaying scheme that uses orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) and transmit antenna selection with maximal-ratio combining (TAS/MRC) or vice versa at the first and second hops, respectively. The aim is to achieve an asymptotically identical performance to the dual-hop relaying system with only TAS/MRC, while requiring lower feedback overhead. In particular, we give the selection criteria based on the antenna configurations and the average channel powers for the first and second hops, assuming Rayleigh fading channels. Also, the numerical results are shown for the outage performance comparison between the dual-hop DF relaying systems with the proposed scheme, only TAS/MRC, and only OSTBC.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of high data rate wireless personal area network (HDR-WPAN) system using multiple antenna scheme, space-time block code in fading channel. Multiple antenna technique is used to improve the error performance by combining the receive signal through multiple receive antenna. Space-time block code is a space-time diversity scheme which can obtain the maximum space diversity gain and easily implements a ML receiver via a simple process. HDR-WPAN system using space-time block code obtain about 14dB diversity gaint at BER 10$^{-5}$ in multipath fading channel. From the simulation result, We confirm that HDR-WPAN system adopting space-time block code has reliable communication even low power.
