Abstract

In order to maintain communication while the vehicle is moving, satellite azimuth angle and elevation angle correction are needed in real time. The elevation angle correction affects the system G/T according to the variation of the external noise temperature flowing into the antenna. G/T is expressed as a ratio of power gain G to noise temperature T and is an important performance function required for antenna gain design. This paper aims to G/T analysis considering elevation angle change and the establishment of an antenna design procedure. For this purpose, the relationship between elevation angle and brightness temperature including rain attenuation was analyzed according to recommendation ITU-R P.372 radio noise. Next, an antenna was designed based on the analysis results and design procedure was verified by G/T measurement. Through this experiment, G/T according to elevation angle was confirmed, and the minimum antenna gain analysis and design procedure required in the system could be established.

위성 단말기가 차량 이동하면서 통신을 유지하려면 실시간 안테나 방위각과 앙각 보정이 필요하다. 앙각 보정은 안테나에 유입되는 외부 잡음온도 변동을 수반하여 시스템 G/T에 영향을 끼친다. G/T는 안테나이득 G(Gain)와 잡음온도 T(Noise temperature)의 비율로 표현되며, 안테나 이득설계에 필요한 중요 성능지수이다. 본 논문은 앙각변동을 고려한 G/T 분석 및 안테나 설계절차 수립을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 ITU-R P.372 Radio Noise 권고사항에 따라 강우감쇠를 포함한 휘도온도와 앙각과의 관계를 분석하였다. 다음에 분석결과를 기반으로 안테나를 제작하여 G/T 측정에 의한 설계절차를 검증하였다. 이 실험을 통해 앙각에 따른 G/T를 확인하였으며, 시스템에서 요구되는 최소 안테나 이득 분석 및 설계절차를 수립할 수 있었다.
