Abstract

Channel attenuation must be taken into account when designing Time Division Multiple Access(TDMA) communication systems. In addition, Automatic Gain Control (ACG) is a requirement in satellite communication systems in order to form a stable network regardless of rapidly changes in channel environment. In this study, we present an AGC with possible real-time application to time slots in satellite TDMA communication systems. A satellite TDMA system was designed and implemented in order to test the performance of the proposed real-time AGC, and the system's BER (Bit Error Rate) was found by applying the proposed AGC algorithm. These results can be expected to be of high value in improving the stability of satellite TDMA communication systems in the future.

일반적으로 위성 시분할다중접속 (TDMA, Time Division Multiple Access) 통신시스템 설계 시 채널감쇄를 반드시 고려 해야하며 위성 통신시스템은 급격한 채널환경 변화에서도 안정적인 네트워크 구성을 위해 실시간 자동 이득제어기 (AGC, Automatic Gain Control)가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 위성 TDMA 통신시스템에서 타임 슬롯에 실시간 적용이 가능한 AGC를 제안한다. 제안하는 실시간 AGC 성능을 확인하기 위해 위성 TDMA 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였고 제안하는 AGC 알고리듬을 적용하여 시스템의 비트 오율을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 추후 위성 TDMA 통신시스템의 안정성을 높이는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
