As more satellites are designed to downlink their observed image data through the X-band frequency band, it is inevitable that the occupied bandwidth of a target satellite will overlap with that of other X-band downlink satellites. For sun-synchronized low earth orbit satellites, in particular, it can be expected that two or more satellites be placed within the looking angle of a ground station antenna at the same time. Due to the overlapping in the frequency band, signals transmitted from the adjacent satellites act as interferers, leading to degraded link performance between target satellite and ground station. In this paper, link analysis was initiated by modeling the radiation pattern of ground station antenna through a validated Jet Propulsion Laboratory peak envelope model. From the relative antenna gain depending on the offset angle from center axis of maximum antenna directivity, the ratio of received interference signal level to the target signal level was calculated. As a result, it was found that the degradation increased when the offset angle was within the first point of radiation pattern. For a 7.3 m antenna, serious link degradation began at an offset angle of 0.4 degrees. From this analysis, the link performance of the coming satellite passes can be recognized, which is helpful to establish an operating procedure that will prevent the ground station from receiving corrupted image data in the event of a degraded link.

In this paper, we introduce an adaptive radio resource allocation for IP-based mobile satellite services. We also present a synchronous multibeam CDMA satellite system using an orthogonal resource sharing mechanism among downlink beams for the adaptive packet transmission. The simulation results, using a Ka-band mobile satellite channel and various packet scheduling schemes, show that the proposed system and resource allocation scheme improves the beam throughput by more than two times over conventional systems. The simulation results also show that, in multibeam satellite systems, a system-level adaptation to a user's channel and interference conditions according to user locations and current packet traffic is more efficient in terms of throughput improvement than a user-level adaptation.

저궤도 위성은 지상국과의 접속 중에 X-band 안테나를 이용해 촬영한 영상을 전송한다. X-band 안테나는 교신 시간 동안 TPF (tracking parameter file)에 따라 움직이며 지상국의 안테나를 지속적으로 지향한다. TPF 생성 소프트웨어는 위성의 궤도 및 자세 정보와 촬영 및 다운링크 임무 정보를 이용해 X-band 안테나가 지상국을 지향하도록 하는 Azimuth, Elevation 정보를 생성한다. 위성이 지상국 상공을 지나가는 경우 X-band 안테나 특성 상 방위각 속도가 급격하게 증가하며, 특정 각속도로 회전하는 경우 위성의 지터를 유발할 수 있다. 영상촬영과 다운링크를 동시에 수행하는 실시간 임무의 경우 지터에 의한 영상 열화를 방지하기 위해 Azimuth 각속도를 일정 수준 이하로 낮춰야 한다. 현재 사용하는 방법인 한 점의 가상 지상국을 지향하는 방법으로는 각속도를 낮추는데 한계가 있다. 이 논문에서는 방위각 고정 기법을 이용해 X-band 안테나의 Azimuth 각속도를 낮추는 방법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 방법을 이용해 방위각 속도가 현저하게 감소함을 나타낸다.

2004년 3월과 4월중 우리나라에 발생한 황사가 위성통신신호에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 중앙전파관리소 위성전파감시센터를 통하여 황사 발생기간 중 L, S, C, Ku 및 Ka대역의 위성신호에 대한 실효등방성방사전력(EIRP)을 측정하였다. 이 측정값을 동 황사 발생기간중 기상청에서 측정한 미세먼지농도(PM10)와 미세먼지를 수치화 한 광학입자계수기(OPC)의 측정값을 기준으로 위성통신신호세기에 미치는 황사의 농도와 대기중의 입자의 수치들의 변화량에 대하여 분석하였다.

KOMPSAT -2 equipped with an optical telescope(MSC) will be launched in this year. It can take images of the earth with push-broom scanning at altitude 685Km. Its resolution is 1m in panchromatic channel with a swath width of 15 km After the MSC is tested and the performance is measured at instrument level, it is installed on satellite. The image passes through the electro-optical system, compression and storage unit and fmally downlink sub-systems. This integration procedure necessitates the functional test of all subsystems participating in the image chain. The objective of functional test at satellite level(Quick Look test) is to check the functionality of image chain by real target image. Collimated moving image is input to the EOS in order to simulate the operational environments as if KOMPSAT -2 is being operated in orbit. The image chain from EOS to data downlink subsystem will be verified through Quick Look test. This paper explains the Quick Look test of KOMPSAT -2 and compares the taken images with collimated input ones.

Upon introducing satellite communication system to Korea, one of the important problems to cope with is the effect from the probable intentional interference I.e. jamming. In this paper we have investigated how much the performance of ordinary PSK signal and Directed Sequence Spread Spectrum PSK signal degrade by the effect of jamming in the satellite communication system. In analysis we have consider the M ary PSK signal and the liniter type nonlinear satellite transponder in an environment of uplink tone or noise jamming plus Gaussian noise and downlink Gaussian noise. Using the derived error rate equation we have evaluated the error performance of BPSK and QPSK systems and compared this with that of DS BPSK system. Form the results, we know that the nonlinear satellite system is degraded more severely by the effect of noise jamming than tone jamming and the effect of tone jamming on the error rate performance can be reduced more remarkably by increasing the process gain in DS BPSK system rather than increasing carrier to jamming noise power ratio in conventional BPSK system.

In this paper, we propose a predictive(transient) connection admission control(CAC) scheme for satellite systems that supports on-board packet switching of multimedia traffic with predefined quality of service(QoS) requirements. The CAC scheme incorporates the unique characteristics of satellite systems, e.g. large propagation delays, no onboard buffer, and low computational requirement. The CAC scheme requires the estimation of the On-Off traffic characteristics ($\lambda$, $\mu$) of the traffic sources. These estimated values are used to predict the transient cell loss ratio at each downlink. In case the QoS requirements are not met the proposed CAC scheme rejects the new connection. The numerical results obtained suggest that the proposed scheme is an excellent candidate for real time burst and cell level connection prediction and control in broadband on-board satellite networks.
