Abstract

In satellite communication system, propagation characteristics analysis of the receiving environment is very important, because radio quality is changed by the receiving environment. Unlike Terrestrial wireless communications, satellite communication is affected by altitude and atmospheric environment. Therefore, there are many factors to consider for propagation characteristics analysis. In this paper, signal reception environment of geostationary earth orbit was analyzed on urban environment. In order to analyze the propagation simulation, virtual buildings was established and reception environment was changed. The results of this paper would help to design the satellite mobile communication systems in Ka-band.

위성통신시스템은 수신환경에 따라 전파 품질이 변화하므로 수신 지역의 전파 환경 특성을 분석하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 위성통신은 지상 무선통신과는 달리 위성의 고도 및 대기 환경에 추가로 영향을 받기 때문에 전파특성을 분석하기 위해서는 추가로 고려해야할 요소들이 많다. 본 논문에서는 도심지 환경에서 정지궤도 위성통신 시스템의 위성-지상 간 전파수신환경을 분석하였다. 도심지환경의 전파 시뮬레이션을 위해 건물을 가상으로 설정하고 수신환경을 변화시켜가며 전파특성을 분석결과를 도출하였다. 본 논문의 연구결과를 통해 Ka-band에서의 위성 이동통신 시스템 설계에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.
