A key difference between a tactical military and commercial satcom system is that the military system is expected to provide a service in the presence of ECM threats such as jamming. In this paper, we analyzed the three different type of link system applicable to the military satellite and directly compared to each system in order to find system performance according to the maximum jammer power. For the analysis, we modeled and simulated the SHF satellite system based on uplink jamming. From the results, it is found for each different type of link the maximum jammer power that can be tolerated with link operating at its suggested nominal rate. Also, we studied to the survivability level against the jamming condition through the performance comparison in shipborne and portable terminal consistent with frequency.

The regulated peak power tracking (RPPT) systems such as the series structure and the parallel structure are commonly used in the satellite space power system. However, this structure processes the solar array power to the load through two regulators during one orbit cycle, which reduces the energy transfer efficiency. The series-parallel structure for the RPPT system can improve the power conversion efficiency, but an additional regulator increases the cost, size and weight of the system. In this paper, a simplified series-parallel space power system that consists of two regulators is proposed. The proposed system has the similar energy transfer efficiency with the series-parallel structure by adding one switch to the series structure, which reduces the cost, size and the weight. The large signal stability analyses is provided to understand the four main modes of system operation. In order to compare the energy efficiency with a series structure, the simulation is performed. The experimental verifications are performed using a prototype hardware with TMS320F2812 DSP and 200W solar arrays.

In this paper, we introduce a satellite conceptual design software which can be used for outlining a new satellite as well as for educational purpose. This software consists of three commercial tools: MATLAB, STK(Satellite Tool Kit), and Excel. The management of the design software is done by MATLAB which provides basic calculations, GUI(Graphical User Interface), Excel data base management, and STK control. STK, an orbital simulation software developed by AGI, takes a part of obtaining accurate orbital information of a satellite. Excel, a product of Microsoft, is used for the data base of previous satellites and for the saving place of temporary and final results of the software. The conceptual design of a satellite is to roughly estimate power system and mass. In the power system design, the sizes of solar array and battery are determined. Based on the database of existing satellites, we can estimate the subsystems's mass fraction of a target satellite. Design examples for Kompsat 1 and 2 are suggested for verification of the developed software.

In this paper, we propose an efficient resource allocation scheme for the integrated satellite/terrestrial networks. The proposed scheme is a frequency sharing technique to mitigate the inter-component interferences which can be generated between a satellite beam and terrestrial cells that are operated in the same frequency. The proposed dynamic resource allocation scheme can mitigate the total inter-component interference by optimizing the total transmission power and it can expect a result of which can lead to an increase in capacity. In such a system, the interference situation can be affected by the distributed traffic demands or up/down link communications environments. In this point of view, we evaluate the performance of the total consumed power, the amount of inter-component interference with respect to different traffic distributions and interference environments between the satellite beam and terrestrial systems.

In data transmission at the digital satellite broadcasting systems, the delay and spread are caused whit receiving original signals from the transmitter in the receiver. So, there are some problems in data fast transmission. Also, transmitted signals ate received in stale of the combination of transmission delay and noise of channel. The affect of channel noise is reduced when increasing transmission power, but as signal interference due to the transmission delay and spread of channel increase in proportion to the transmission power, there is a problem in spite of increasing the transmission power. And there is the problem to add ISI(inter symbol interference) because the property of the channel is limo-varying due to relative moving in the transceiver Therefore, in this paper, a pulse shaping filter for the high-speed service in digital satellite broadcasting systems was designed and reduced the ISI.

For Ka-band satellite communication system, a new flexible payload technologies which can compensate rain attenuation have to be developed. The Ka-band satellite output power control technology enables to adjust downlink output power of satellite payload in Ka-band (19.8 ~ 22.2 GHz). In this paper, we introduce multi-beam antenna with multi-port amplifiers for Ka-band flexible output power allocation system. We have designed multi-beam antenna with array-fed reflector to form 8 beams on the Korean Peninsula. The target EIRP per beam is more than 59 dBW. The system is designed to present 6 dB boost beams for rainfall areas. Individual beams were optimized by the excited amplitude and phase of feed elements of the feed cluster. The multi-port amplifier(MPA) is one of effective approaches for flexible power allocation in combination with multi-beam antenna. In case of using MPA in multi-beam system, the inter-port isolation characteristic of MPA is important parameter to avoid interference among the output ports. In this paper, we propose a new MPA structure that consists of two $4{\times}4$ Buttler matrixes and phase/amplitude controllable power amplifier modules.

The weight of an antenna system pointing satellite on the mobile platform is restricted by the weight limit of the mobile platform. The maximum power of the actuator driving the antenna system is thus limited because a high power actuator needs a heavier weight. Thus, a drive system is designed to have a low torque requirement by reducing the gravitational torque depending on gravity or acceleration of the mobile platform, including vibration, shock, and accelerated motion. To reduce the gravitational torque, the mathematical model of the gravitational torque is preferentially obtained. However, the method to directly estimate the mathematical model in an antenna system has not previously been reported. In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate the gravitational torque as a mathematical model in the antenna system. Additionally, a method is also proposed to calculate the optimal weight of the balancing weight to compensate for the gravitational torque.

Many studies have been carried out in order to develop a frequency efficient communication system than the current communication system for satisfying the increasing demands of wireless data services in mobile communication systems. Service providers must maintain a lot of base station equipments to meet the increasing demands of wireless data service. Therefore service provider needs a system or method to reduce maintenance costs. The amount of wireless data service are changed according to the time of day, geographical location and so on. Power consumption can be reduced if the supplied power of communication systems is controlled by the amount of wireless data traffics. In this paper, power management system of base station's equipment for mobile communication is designed and implemented. The proposed power management system controls the power supplied to the mobile communication infrastructures depending on the service amount of wireless data. Field test result of the implemented system shows the proposed system saves 26% of the power consumption in the base stations.
