An inverse photoemission spectrometer has been built and tested to study the unoccupied electron energy states of solid surfaces. It consists of a low energy electron gun and a band pass photon detector in an ultra-high vacuum chamber. The electron ray tracing simulation and current measurement of the electron gun show a good focus and a high flux of electron current. The overall resolution of the spectrometer is 0.74 eV and the sensitivity of the photon detector is about 10 counts/$sec{\cdot}{\mu}A.$ As a test experiment, the inverse photoemission spectra of a Ge(111) sample is in good agreement with the theoretical result.

Control method for DACS with variable burning area is designed and the performance of the control method is analyzed by doing simulation at various conditions. DACS, which got solid propellant on board, is designed as end-burning type typically. End-burning type DACS has the merit of controlling pressure and thrust, but it discharges the combustion gas which does not using for getting thrust. Therefore, optimal design of propellant grain and burning area changes over time as a result. Variable burning area can be assumed as a disturbance and adaptive control method is useful for pressure control of DACS effected by disturbance.

In this paper, we propose a novel code sharing method for downlink transmission of mobile satellite communication systems using a multibeam geosynchronous-orbit satellite. In the proposed system, spreading codes are shared among downlink beams in order to increase the system capacity. We also propose efficient radio resource and transmit power allocation schemes for the proposed system. Simplified analysis and simulation results on the system capacity show the capacity improvement by the proposed scheme. The simulation results show that the capacity of the proposed system is more than 2 times as large as that of a conventional multibeam satellite system. In the frequency-selective fading channel, the capacity improvement increases as the interference between orthogonal spreading codes decrease.

The Divert and Attitude Control System(DACS) used in high-altitude engagements is expensive and complex. In this paper, we design a high-altitude terminal guidance and control loop of guided-missile equipped with a Thrust Vector Control(TVC) that is less expensive and simpler than DACS. The proposed system utilizes a quaternion feedback control technique to track the thrust attitude command converted from the acceleration command of true proportional navigation guidance. The performance analysis of the proposed terminal guidance and control loop is conducted through engagement simulations against ballistic targets at a high altitude.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted relay has the advantages of ease of deployment, good communication channels, and mobility over traditional terrestrial relay, which greatly improves wireless connectivity. In this paper, we design a UAV-enabled relay network that can utilize radio frequency bands to harvest energy from sources and utilize terahertz (THz) bands to transmit information between secondary transmitters and receivers. Next, we solve the optimal position of the UAV that maximizes the relay channel capacity, and propose an algorithm to design two trajectories of UAV (a straight and an elliptical trajectory) using the derived solution. Numerical results show that the straight trajectory is better in terms of harvested energy and channel capacity.

The geolocation accuracy of SAR satellite imagery is affected by orbit and sensor information and external variables such as DEM accuracy and atmospheric delay. To predict geolocation accuracy of KOMPSAT-5 and KOMPSAT-6, this paper uses TerraSAR-X imagery which has similar spec. Simulation data for sensitivity analysis are generated using range equation and doppler equation with several key error sources. As a result of simulation analysis, the effect of sensor information error is larger than orbit information error. Especially, onboard electronic delay needs to be monitored periodically because this error affects geolocation accuracy of slant range direction by 30m. Additionally, DEM accuracy causes geolocation error by 20~30m in mountainous area and atmospheric delay can occur by 5m in response to atmospheric condition and incidence angle.

In this paper, we propose an efficient estimation algorithm to find unknown location of an earth station for a geostationary satellite system. A cross ambiguity function (CAF), using time difference of arrival (TDOA) and frequency difference arrival (FDOA), is usually used to estimate the unknown location of an unauthorized earth station which may invoke interference to the existing satellite systems. However, a practical estimation of the location data requires tremendous computational time of CAF, and this prohibits direct utilization of CAF. For this reason, we propose a computationally efficient algorithm which utilizes characteristics of TDOA and FDOA within CAF. The proposed algorithm greatly enhances the computational efficiency without any performance degradation. In addition, we demonstrate the simulation results on the estimation performance by the resolution of the CAF estimation. The results provided in this paper will be utilized at the real system implementation.

After USA removed the Selective Availability (SA), Global Positioning System (GPS) has monopolized the world market and other countries have been depended on GPS, absolutely. So the other countries, Russia, European Community (EC) and Japan, which apprehend to monopolize in technical and strategic parts, are developing the next generation GNSS including GLONASS Galileo and JRANS. And the countries are planning to provide the another GNSS. This research has focused on the next generation GNSS system based on GPS and Galileo system with developing a GNSS simulation software, named as GlMS2005, which generates and analyzes satellite constellation and measurements. Based on the software, a variety of simulation tests have been carried out to recognize limits of GPS-only system and potential benefits of integrated GPS/Galileo positioning in terms of satellite geometry strength and solution accuracy.

Image chain analysis of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite is one of the primary activities for satellite design because SAR image quality depends on spacecraft bus performance as well as SAR payload. Especially, satellite pointing and stability error make worst effect on the original SAR image quality which is implemented by SAR payload design. In this research, Image chain analysis S/W was developed in order to analyze the SAR image quality degradation due to satellite pointing and stability error. This S/W consists of orbit model, attitude control model, SAR payload model, clutter model, and SAR processor. SAR raw data, which includes total 25 point targets in the scene of $5km{\times}5km$ swath width, was generated and then processed for analysis. High resolution mode (spotlight), of which resolution is 1m, was applied. The results of image chain analysis show that radiometric accuracy is the most degraded due to the pointing error. Therefore, the successful design of attitude control subsystem in spacecraft bus for enhancing the pointing accuracy is most important for image quality.
