In this paper, data transmission corrugated horn antenna for RF sensor satellite system and its radiation characteristic are presented. The proposed antenna is designed, fabricated and measured to obtain the maximum gain at ${\pm}60^{\circ}$ of its radiation patterns. The result of the proposed antenna is that the return loss is less than -15 dB and the gain is over 5 dBi at ${\pm}60^{\circ}$ of its radiation patterns. From these results, it is confirmed that the proposed can be used as data transmission corrugated horn antenna for RF sensor satellite system.

In this paper, Satellite DMB/WiBro antenna and PCS/WiBro antenna improving indoor coverage for mobile services are designed and fabricated. Satellite DMB/WiBro bands repeater antenna and PCS/WiBro bands repeater antenna are proposed as a simple radiator with loading capacitor to generate LHCP(Left Hand Circular Polarization). The proposed antenna for Satellite DMB/WiBro and PCS/WiBro bands communication are fabricated by copper plate uploader type and substrate uploader type. The designed and fabricated antenna has a bandwidth of 70MHz at 1.816GHz~1.886GHz and bandwidth of 107MHz at 2.247GHz~2.354GHz. Maximum gain of radiation pattern was up to 5dBi.

A microstrip array antenna is designed and tested for satellite broadcasting receptions. The Sierpinski equilateral triangular patch and SSFIP(slot-strip-foam-inverted patch) structures are used. This 1$\times$3 Sierpinski equilateral triangular patch antenna is extended to 8$\times$2 array antenna for satellite broadcasting receptions. The measurement results of the reflection coefficients and the radiation patterns of the manufactured array antenna show good agreements with the simulation results.

This study proposes the development of an antenna tracker system using a satellite system to stabilize the communication status of drones and extend the communication distance. The location information of the drone and the ground station was used to maximize communication gain in the general fixed antenna method between the ground station and the drone. We developed a tracker system that can automatically and continuously aim the ground station's antenna at the drone. It is expected that the use of antenna trackers will improve the stabilization of communication conditions and expand the communication distance, thereby leading to the advancement of the drone industry.

In this paper, we propose an open loop power control algorithm to control transmission power of the On-The-Move(OTM) Satcom terminal in GEO satellite communication environment. The proposed algorithm identifies the current channel state restricted by an obstacle or an antenna depointing loss based on the received beacon signal strength. On the basis of the determined signal attenuation causes, the OTM Satcom terminal turns off the RF output when an antenna tracking is failed. If the OTM Satcom terminal experiences a channel blockage by an obstacle, the terminal spreads the transmit data to increase data reception probability. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we compare an adjacent satellite interference level and an outage probability. The results show the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of the conventional algorithm.

This paper presents DSP based narrow band satellite communication signal power detector for tracking control of mobile satellite antenna system. An analog filter based conventional power detector has poor performance due to frequency drift of carrier. Also, it is very difficult to change an analog filter bandwidth according to changed bandwidth of transmitted signal. To solve these difficulties, we proposed DSP based signal power detector, which is easy to change bandwidth of filter and to match shifted frequency of carrier. The proposed signal power detector consists of a FFT function to measure frequency drift of carrier, a programmable filter bank function to limit of received signal bandwidth and a power calculation function to measure power of filtered signal in 12-bit linear scale. Test results of implemented signal power detector, based on TMS320C5402 DSP, showed that it satisfied required functions and performances and properly operated.
