According to the recent developments of computer, terrestrial broadcasting, satellite broadcasting and CATV technologies, Multimedia TV application combined with such technologies will emerge. Therefore, it is demanded that high-power, wide-band, and high-frequency performance. In this paper, HPA(high power amplifier) for digital TV transmission system is proposed. The analysis and evaluation on the proposed amplifier have been performed by 2-tone signal for general performance evaluation and by 8-VSB signal for comparison with real system. In result, proposed HPA satisfies requirements of high-power, wide-band, and high-frequency performance.

In order to mitigate the vulnerability of the satellite navigation system against radio frequency interference, South Korea has been developing advanced terrestrial navigation system (eLoran) technology since 2016. The eLoran system synchronizes the transmission time of the pulse used in the existing Loran-C system with UTC and transmits correction information that can improve the position error. The eLoran system is known to reduce the position error of about 460 m of the existing Loran-C system to 20 m, and for this, the transmitter must be able to transmit eLoran signals according to more stringent standards. For this reason, an international standard that further developed the Loran-C signal standard established by US Coast Guard was established by Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International. In this paper, based on the analysis of the SAE9990 document, the international standard for eLoran transmission signals, a standard inspection process was produced to check whether the eLoran transmitter is transmitting signals in accordance with the standard.

The design procedure as well as some test results of a low-cost commercial radome for mobile DBS(Direct Broadcasting Satellite) receiving antenna system are presented in this paper. At first the complex permittivity of dielectric material should be measured in order to select a material for radome design. The complex permittivities of low-cost plastics supplied by domestic vendors are measured and presented. And then the transmission losses of the sheets are calculated. The calculated results are verified by the measurements of wave transmission test of that sheets. Two kinds of radomes, ABS single-layer and A-Sandwich((PET-Foam-ABS), are fabricated and measured practically. The transmission losses of single-layer and A-sandwich radome are 1.5dB and 0.6dB respectively at the maximum wave incident angle of 57 degree. Also the calculated crosspolarization caused by A-sandwich radome is under 20dB.

In digital TV broadcasting, such as terrestrial, cable, satellite, and IPTV, the head-end of digital TV broadcasting has a more complicated transmission structure than that of analog TV broadcasting. Furthermore, digital TV broadcasting has a feature that supports multiplex models, such as Multiple Program Transport Stream (MPTS). Therefore, the purpose of our work was to design and examine a more efficient new system of emergency alert message transmission to support the digital TV broadcasting environments. Digital TV broadcasting is the IP generation or RF transmission of 8-VSB, QAM, and QPSK modulated through a multiplexer or re-multiplexer multiplexed stream as a MPEG-2 Transport Stream after content encoding. The new system proposed in this paper transmits an emergency alert message without scrambling after replacing the PID and payload of the -packet with the message prototype in the TS stream from the multiplexer. If we need to transmit an emergency alert message under digital TV broadcasting services, then the receiver first checks the PID of each packet in the TS stream for the emergency alert message. Next, if a packet is determined to be an emergency alert message, then the set-top box displays the message on the TV screen using its function of On Screen Display, or the PC based software displays the message on the monitor screen using its function of overlay with user interface if the packet is found to be an emergency alert message. We have designed an emergency alert message protocol and a system model. By experiments and analysis of the system, we concluded that the system achieved efficiency and the ability to send and receive emergency alert messages using the system under different digital TV broadcasting service environments.

In terrestrial communications, high data rate transmission can be achieved by splitting the coverage area into small cells through base stations and reusing the resource efficiently. However, the geographical features of maritime communications require the long transmission range, and it is not practical to install base station on the sea to set up the similar deployment as the terrestrial communications, so MF/HF band modem with low data rate are currently utilized for maritime communications. And the expensive satellite communication via Inmarsat is the conventional solution for the high data rate transmission on the sea. To reduce the cost, Ad-hoc network is proposed to apply on the sea, which requires no base station for the peer-to-peer communications. In this paper, we denominate this maritime environment specific Ad-hoc network as Nautical Ad-hoc Network (NANET). Furthermore, the deployment scenario for the NANET, and the analysis on multiple access and duplexing schemes for the NANET are discussed in this paper, which serves as the cornerstone for the further NANET research and development.

In this paper, an efficient power control based MF-TDMA resource allocation scheme is proposed for next generation military satellite communication systems. The proposed scheme has the flexibility is used to support heterogeneous terminals with differ in transmission capabilities. The method can be divided into two parts : burst size calculation and burst structure determination. At first, we estimate the link budget taken into account a dynamic satellite link state variation. Then, applicable ACM level and burst size is chosen. In burst structure determination phase, we reorganize the burst structure in time-frequency domain by controlling limited power, bandwidth, time resources. In particular, we compensate the power spectral density among different terminals to integrate them in same transponder, Furthermore, we increase the packing efficiency by controlling the ACM level of the burst in applicable power spectral density range. Simulation results show that the method increase the spectral efficiency and burst packing efficiency. In addition, slot allocation rejection ratio is successfully reduced.

CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Codes) is a error detection method for the date transmission, which is applied to the GRDDP (GOES-R Reliable Data Delivery Protocol) between satellite and GEMS (Geostationary Environmental Monitoring Sensor) on the GEO-KOMPSAT 2B development. This paper introduces a principle of the table based CRC, and explains software implementation results of the CRC8 applied to GEMS.

Rain attenuation can cause a serious problem that an availability of space communication link on Ka band becomes low. To reduce the effect of rain attenuation on the error performance of space communications in Ka band, an adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) scheme is required. In this paper, to achieve a reliable telemetry data transmission, we propose an adaptive coding and modulation level using turbo code recommended by the consultative committee for space data systems (CCSDS) and various modulation methods (QPSK, 8PSK, 4+12 APSK, and 4+12+16 APSK) adopted in the digital video broadcasting-satellite2 (DVB-S2).

Current standard for T-DMB Automatic Emergency Alert Service(AEAS) contains controversial problems in service signaling. In this paper, we first describe two important characteristics of AEAS which hinder normal MCI service signaling: Common Service and Aperiodic Service. Next, we propose four method to overcome the problems, followed by the characteristics of each method. In this analysis, current T-DMB standard, the broadcasting system, and receivers are the major player to decide the optimum service signaling method. This analysis will be also applied to the design of transmission standard for other media such as cable, satellite, the Internet, etc.
