Abstract

In this paper, we have designed the antenna for Korea SAT-5 Satellite Communication which can use Ka band in the earth station. The antenna structure consist of the the dual-offset gregorian reflector that has high gain and efficiency, the corrugated horn that has symmetric radiation patterns and low side lobe levels, the iris polarizer that make circular polarization and the OrthoMode Transducer that separate transmitting and receiving signals. The designed antenna gain is more than 45.7dBi in Tx-band which use LHCP and 42.0dBi in Rx-band which use RHCP. The co-polarized and cross-polarized radiation pattern comply with ITU-R S.580-6 and S.731-1 that are recommended by International Telecommunication Union in the geostationary satellite. The Axial ratio is less than 1.0dB in Tx-band and 1.5dB in Rx-band that meet MIL-STD-188-164A.

본 논문에서는 Ka대역에서 무궁화 5호와 통신이 가능한 지상 단말 안테나를 설계하였다. 선정한 안테나는 반사판 형상으로 주요 구성품은 높은 이득과 효율을 갖는 이중 옵셋 그레고리안 타입의 반사판과 낮은 부엽을 갖는 코러게이트 혼, 원형편파 생성을 위한 주름형 편파기와 송수신 신호 분리를 위한 직교 모드 변환기로 구성된다. 설계 안테나는 위성과의 통신을 위하여 Ka대역에서 송신 LHCP 이득 45.7dBi 이상, 수신 RHCP 이득 42.0dBi 이상으로 구현하였고, 주편파와 교차편파의 부엽준위는 국제통신연합에서 고정 위성 업무에 대해 권고하는 ITU-R S. 580-6와 731-1을 만족하도록 설계하였다. 마지막으로 축비 성능은 MIL-STD-188-164A에서 권고하는 송신 1.0dB, 수신 1.5dB 이하로 설계하였다.
