In order to shorten head-way time on existing railway lines without any change of signal block length between stations, it is a realistic optional way to change the control method of train signal, i.e. to modernize the cab signal using transponder. A new signalling system of operation pattern control technique is suggested as new model to increase the railway traffic efficiency. Through the computer simulation of this model, the train head-way time by the fixed signalling system and the new pattern control system is analyzed.

In this paper, we report a new damping circuit with a constant damping rate for RFID applications. The proposed damping circuit is used along with a over-voltage limiter and exhibits almost constant damping rates when the distance between the reader and the transponder varies. This results in keeping the power supply voltage of the transponder constant and in improved reading distances.

A LNA(Low Nosise Amplifer) module for the Ka-band satellite transponder has been developed, which is composed of developed two MMIC chips and 50$\Omega$ line. This LNA exhibited noise figure less than 3.12dB, linear gain higher than 32dB from 30.085GHz to 30.885GHz frequency range. Temperature test from $20^{\circ}to$ $60^{\circ}C$ of the LNA Module showed very small noise figure and linear gain variation of 0.2 dB and 0.4dB.

This paper designs a Korea train identification module using a RFID system. Frequency bandwidth transmits and receives messages using the 27.095Mhz and 4.234Mhz in the ISM bandwidth. The mode of the modulation uses a transmission ASK and a receiving FSK. And it uses a reader and transponder using an active transponder. We use the loop antenna which the antenna has the directional.

In an RFID system, it is desirable to have both the reader and the transponder tuned to the same resonant frequency for efficient data transmission between them. Any difference in frequency will decrease the transponder coil voltage or the internal power supply voltage and will increase the possibility of zero modulation in the reader coil, which results in the reduction of the reading distance. In this paper, the phenomena caused by the frequency mismatch are theoretically analyzed and mathematically modelled. Several schemes to compensate for the frequency mismatch are also mentioned. The derived equations and analyzed theory on the data transmission between the reader and the transponder will be helpful to the development of RFID systems for many applications.

KOMPSAT-5(KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-5) has a benefit of continuously conducting its mission in all weather and even night by loading SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) payload, which is different from optical sensor of KOMPSAT-2 satellite. During IOT(In-Orbit Test) periods, SAR image calibration should be conducted through ground target of which location and RCS is pre-determined. Differently from the conventional corner reflector, active transponder has a capability to change its internal transfer gain and delay, which allows active transponder to be shown in a pixel of SAR image with very high radiance and virtual location. In this paper, the development of active transponder is presented from design to I&T(Integration and Test).

This paper describes the MMIC product qualification of the Ka band satellite transponder for the COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite). Ka-band active equipment for the COMS communications transponder are being developed by using 12 kinds of MMICs which include low noise amplifiers, medium power amplifiers, frequency mixers, frequency multipliers, RF switch, and HEMT attenuator MMIC, Those MMICs had been fabricated at the MMIC production foundry of northrop Grumman Space Technology (Velocium) which is qualified for space application, and experienced in various space programs during past decades. For the MMIC product qualification, Visual inspection and SEM inspection had been performed, and burn-in test for 240 hours and accelerated life-test for 1000 hours had been done on test fixtures of individual MMIC products at $125^{\circ}C$. Additionally, infrared temperature scanning and finite element simulation were performed to analyze and confirm the channel temperature of semiconductor devices on several representatives of those MMIC products that os one of the most important factors in performance degradation and life reduction.

A technology of GEO satellite communications starts from Koreasat program in Korea. Payload equipment of EQM Ku and Ka band transponders had been developed and space-qualified Ka band payload in COMS was successfully launched in June, 2010. For the purpose of military communications, Dehop-Rehop transponder was developed in Koreasat5 as ANASIS system and DAT(Digital Active Transponder) and DCAMP(Digital Channel AMPlifier) transponders are now under development. In this paper, from the study of military satellite communications trend, a direction of military communication satellite is suggested based on the current GEO SATCOM technologies in Korea. Considering the limit of frequency resources, a technology of battlefield adaptive transponder with medium capacity against high moveable jamming tactics would be efficient for the future military SATCOM system. Mid-sized military satellites with frequency hopping and mid-capacity transponders can be a solution of vitalizing the GEO satellite programs.

In the initial stage of the communications between a base station and a satellite transponder, the base station transmits the frequency-sweeping un-modulated up-link carrier within a certain frequency range to acquire the doppler frequency shift and signal power between the base station and the satellite in orbital flight. The satellite transponder acquires and tracks the carrier in order to initialize the communication. To control such initialization process, the satellite receiver should analyze the input carrier signal in various ways. This paper presents an SNR estimation algorithm to control the initialization process. The proposed algorithm converts the input signal into the baseband polar coordinate representation and estimates the SNR via the statistics of the angular signal components as well as the status parameters to control the receiver. The Monte-Carlo simulations shows the validity of the estimation proposed.
