DEVELOPMENT OF TRACKING SYSTEMS APPLICABLE TO SPACE LAUNCH VEHICLE

  • 발행 : 2004.10.01

초록

Tracking systems for launch vehicle consist mainly of radar transponder (beacon), RF switch or power divider, antennas as onboard system, and single or multiple radars as ground one. In this paper, tracking systems, which are applicable to KSLV (Korea Space Launch Vehicle)-l, are introduced and the electrical performances for developed prototypes are presented. We have also performed RF link analysis for both uplink and downlink, and estimated that the maximum distance to be able to track KSLV-l stably is dependent on uplink characteristic in our system.
