A Ka-band 6-W high power microwave monolithic integrated circuit amplifier for use in a very small aperture terminal system requiring high linearity is designed and fabricated using commercial 0.15-${\mu}m$ GaAs pHEMT technology. This three-stage amplifier, with a chip size of 22.1 $mm^2$ can achieve a saturated output power of 6 W with a 21% power-added efficiency and 15-dB small signal gain over a frequency range of 28.5 GHz to 30.5 GHz. To obtain high linearity, the amplifier employs a class-A bias and demonstrates an output third-order intercept point of greater than 43.5 dBm over the above-mentioned frequency range.

In this paper, a cross-layer interworking scheme for different protocols is proposed to provide an efficient internet services in very small aperture terminal (VSAT) based satellite communication systems. In addition, we implement the proposed interworking model and prove the feasibility of the proposed system. VSAT based satellite communication systems commonly use digital video broadcasting (DVB)-S2 standard. Unfortunately, DVB-S2 has inefficient parts to support IP based internet services because it has originally been designed to support broadcasting services. Generic stream encapsulation (GSE) protocol, which is a layer 2 protocol, has been proposed to mitigate this inefficiency. We propose a cross-layer interworking scheme to cooperate efficiently between IP and GSE protocols and between GSE protocol and DVB-S2, respectively. In addtion, we implement the proposed interworking schemes via computer softwares and prove the feasibility using NI-USRP and commercial DVB receiver.

In this paper, we propose a new multiple access scheme for VSAT(Very Small Aperture Terminal) data communications. The proposed scheme has better performance in terms of delay throughput than Controlled Multiaccess Scheme which has excellent performance. The proposed scheme use the spare reservation method, adaptation method to offered load, and fixed bandwidth reservation method. In this paper, we analyze the performance using simple queueing model and present the simulation results. When network traffic is very low, the new scheme and the controlled multiaccess scheme have almost the same access delay characteristic. As the network load becomes higher, the new scheme's access delay gain becomes larger. Futhermore, even when the network traffic is very high it is possible to access satellite link within the delay similar to one round-trip delay. In addition to access delay performance enhancement, the new scheme has facility that supports fixed bandwidth reservation. So it shows more enhanced performance in the environment that stream traffic is dominant such as in VSAT communication environment.

VSAT(Very Small Aperture Terminal)는 일반 가정이나 기업에서 인공위성을 이용해 양방향 통신이 가능하도록 하는 초소형 위성통신장비로 통신 인프라가 갖춰지지 못한 산간 오지지역의 정보를 실시간으로 처리해야 하는 곳을 중심으로 최근 수요가 늘고 있다. 위성 통신용으로 Ku Band 대역의 주파수를 사용하여 데이터를 전송하는 경우에는 전파가 대기권을 통과할 때 강우에 의한 감쇠를 많이 받게 되며, 회선 품질에 매우 심각한 영향을 주게 된다. 이러한 신호감쇠에 대한 보상방법으로 비콘신호의 세기를 분석하여 전력을 제어하는 방법이 제시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 VSAT 단말지구국의 송신전력에 비례하여 출력을 제어함으로써 데이터 전송환경의 변화에 따른 전파의 세기가 감쇠되는 것을 보상하도록 VSAT의 Outlink 수신레벨을 감시하여 정해진 방법에 의해 VSAT의 Tx Attenuation을 조정하여 안정적인 위성링크 상태를 보장하도록 하는 기능과 호출 및 Event 발생시간을 저장함으로 데이터의 검보정에 활용할 수 있는 기능을 갖는 VSAT 송신전력 제어기를 개발하였으며, 단말지구국에 설치하여 운영된 데이터를 분석하고자 한다.

In this paper, an offset paraboloidal reflector antenna satisfied efficiency of over 60% and sidelobe envelope line of 29-25$log\theta$ was designed and manufactured for Ku-band VSAT(Very Small Aperture Terminal) antenna. The radiation patterns of experimental antenna were computed by applying the series expansion method using the Zernike polynomials. The measured patterns are in good agreement with the computed results. The Gain, efficiency, and sidelobe envelop line fairly well satisfy the design specifications except first sidelobe level.

In this paper, the variational method are used for the filter analysis methods and a CAD program for the design of the waveguide low-loss bandpass filters using inductive window structures for the VSAT(Very Small Aperture Terminal) system has been developed based on the passband correction method combined with fiter synthesis procedures. Using the developed CAD program, 0.01dB equi-ripple chebyshev type 6-section bandpass filters which are sued in the VSAT system operating nationally are designed for the purpose of the Down-link of 12.75~13.25GHz and the Up-link of 14.0~14.5GHz, fabricated and mesured. The measured results are good agreement woth the theoretical resuls.

A development of an efficient 14.0~14.5GHz 3 Watt SSPA is described in this paper, which is applicable to the very small aperture terminal(VSAT) for bidirectional data and voice signal transmission in low cost and with small size. The SSPA consists of two stages of low noise amplifiers using the low noise GaAs FETs. two stages of medium power amplifiers using the medium power GaAs FETs, and three stages of power amplifiers including a balanced amplifier using an internally matched power GaAs FET. The achieved with this seven stage amplifiers are 42dB signal power gain, 7dB noise figure, 35dBm output power at 1dB gain compression point and 2.0 and 1.5 input and output VSWR respectively.

Mugunghwa Satellite N0.1 is fired after operation was 13 years. The establishment of communication satellites, as well as Internet service backbone network the country, including satellite broadcasting services to provide multimedia services to general users and contribute to have a big role. High-speed Internet Access Network was expanded and satellite Internet subscribers Access Network rapidly decreasing, but it also a difficult situation, satellite communications network is still important as a component is located. Launched the first communication satellite to be launched and operated several commercial communications satellite, but satellite communications services and the pace of the system is in place. In this paper VSAT, satellite communications service to provide a service based on the status and problems of the status of operating system and will present alternative policies to solve.

The IMO approved e-navigation strategy implementation plan made e-navigation adoption visible. In addition, the schedule for the modernization of GMDSS by the ITU was confirmed at the 4th NCSR meeting. Accordingly, we will complement the existing communication system and provide the requirements for the new communication system to be introduced in the future, reflecting all the requirements for the communication system capable of supporting the e-navigation service. Although the communication method for supporting e-navigation service should be capable of providing IP-based data communication basically, it is impossible to provide internet service because of the narrow-band characteristic in the MF/HF frequency bands. In addition, as the existing GMDSS satellite communication service organization expands and new services are introduced, IP based data communication service will be possible, but service restriction resulting from expensive communication cost can be solved by introducing VSAT service.
