The weight of an antenna system pointing satellite on the mobile platform is restricted by the weight limit of the mobile platform. The maximum power of the actuator driving the antenna system is thus limited because a high power actuator needs a heavier weight. Thus, a drive system is designed to have a low torque requirement by reducing the gravitational torque depending on gravity or acceleration of the mobile platform, including vibration, shock, and accelerated motion. To reduce the gravitational torque, the mathematical model of the gravitational torque is preferentially obtained. However, the method to directly estimate the mathematical model in an antenna system has not previously been reported. In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate the gravitational torque as a mathematical model in the antenna system. Additionally, a method is also proposed to calculate the optimal weight of the balancing weight to compensate for the gravitational torque.

Method a target estimation in spatial are mobile wireless communication using network cell and GPS. It have much error that mobile wireless communication depend on cell size. GPS method can't find a target in shadow and inner area. In this paper, we estimate a target as direction of arrival method using adaptive array antenna system. Adaptive array antenna system can obtain desired signal to remove other signal This paper studied digital beamforming method in order to estimation a target. Proposed method is modified optimum weight and antenna error correction to estimation an optimal receive signal. Digital beamforming method decided a signal phase and amplitude from received signal on array antenna element. But if it is not to do error correction of received signal, system performance have decreased. Firstly, we proposed modified optimum weight in order to finding desired target. Secondly, we are error correction of antenna incident signals by optimal weight before digital beamforming method. Thirdly, throughly simulation, we showed that system performance of proposed method compare proposal method with general method. It have improved resolution of estimation target to good performance more proposed method than general method.

In this research we present design optimization methods for a vehicle-mounted satellite antenna positioner. Our initial antenna positioner was conservatively designed to satisfy a worst case scenario where wind blew across the positioner at the speed of 120 km/h. Investigating stresses and safety based on Finite Element Methods (FEM), we find reflector support frames can be optimized to significantly reduce the weight of the positioner system. Thus, we optimize the reflector support frame from the given initial design while considering weight, maximum stress, maximum allowable deflection, cross section, and thickness. As a result, Shape C and the thickness of 2 mm are determined for the cross section of the reflector support frame. Applying this result, the weight of the new antenna positioner is 57.343 kg, which is decreased by 10.74% compared to the initial conservative design.

본 논문에서는 적응 배열 안테나 시스템에서 간섭 및 재밍 신호를 제거하기 위해서 최적 가중 벡터를 연구하였다. 최적 가중 벡터는 선형 제한 조건에서 최소 분산 알고리즘과 비용함수를 적용시켜 구하였고, 목표물의 신호를 정확히 추정하였다. 적응 배열 안테나 시스템은 간섭 및 재머전력을 감소시키고 신호대 잡음비를 향상시키는 시스템이다. 적응 배열 안테나 시스템은 각 안테나 배열 소자의 출력이 탭(Tap)을 거쳐 지연되고 각 탭에 복소 가중치가 곱해져서 최종적으로 하나의 복합신호를 만든다. 최적의 가중치를 구하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 입력 공분산 행렬의 최적 가중벡터를 이용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘으로 모의 실험한 결과 분해능은 $3^{\circ}$이하로 향상되었으며 부엽은 약 10 dB 감소하였음을 입증하였다.

An Antenna & RF system for a fly-away satcom terminal application on ka-band is presented in this paper. The Fly-away satellite terminal can be moved and operated by two person and adapt automatic satellite tracking system in order to decrease the tracking time.
