This paper describes the development and test result of X-band Transmitter flight model(FM) of STSAT-3 by satellite research center(SaTReC), KAIST. The communication sub-system of STSAT-3 is consist of two different frequency band channels. S-band frequency is used for Telemetry & Command, and X-band frequency is used for mission data. Payload observations data in Mass Memory Unit (MMU) is modulated by QPSK modulator in X-band Transmitter, and then QPSK modulation signal is transmitted to antenna through transfer switch. In this Paper, we described the results of modulation, low-pass filter design, power amp development, and switch test. The FM XTU is delivered Spacecraft Assembly, Integration and Test(AIT) level through the completion of functional Test and environmental(vibration, thermal vacuum) Test successfully.

A coupled-defected ground structure(C-DGS) having closely-located DGS cells is proposed for high performance bandstop filter applications. The negative coupling of ground currents between adjacent DGS cells greatly improves the stopband characteristics. We have measured the attenuation slope of 110.8 dB/GHz and -20 dB rejection band from 3.8 GHz to 15.5 GHz. Compared to the double-plane BSF, the proposed BSF improved the sharp cutoff response 7.6 times. We expect the C-DGS be helpful to improve the performance of DGS application circuits and also to extend the possible DGS applications.

320km optical transmission link for 128 channel DWDM (dense wavelength-division-multiplexing) signals is simulated and fabricated. An optical fiber amplifier for the link is composed of a distributed Raman amplifier and dual C/L-band EDFAs which are optimized for the performances of an optical amplifier obtained from the simulation. Gain and NF of the optimized EDFAs are above 19dB and below 7.5dB, respectively. The resultant OSNRs (optical signal to noise ratios) of the link are average 25dB on each band.

In this paper, a triplexer for Advanced Mobile Phone Service(AMPS), United States-Personal Communication Services(US-PCS), and Global Positioning System(CPS) is designed using L and C lumped elements. The triplexer shows the insertion loss of 0.6 ㏈, 1.1 ㏈, and 1.6 ㏈ for AMPS, US-PCS, and GPS bands, respectively. Also, it shows the attenuation characteristic of less than 18 ㏈, and the VSWR of less than 2.0 through the all pass-band.

In this paper, the extended inverse Chebyshev function have been derived from Chebyshev function. We presented normalized biquads coefficients of n=5, 6 for passband attenuation Ap(dB)=0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and stopband frequency Ws(rad/s)=1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6. A designed low-pass filter from extended inverse Chebyshev transfer function produces the magnitude haracteristic which is maximally flat in the passband and equalripple in the stopband as shown in fig. 3(c), (d). Finally, it showed the magnitude and loss characteristics through realistic circuit simulation, and presented element values.

The detection performances, in this paper, are derived according to combination of the multiband GNSS signals in broadband jamming environments. The detection probabilities depending on the false alarm probabilities are derived and presented via Monte-Carlo simulation under the assumption as follows: the GNSS signals are perfectly orthogonal and simultaneously received by the receiver using non-coherent correlation.

본 논문에서는 무선랜 프로토콜 IEEE802.11g에서 사용되는 변조방식인 OFDM (Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 방식을 TMX320C6416을 사용하여 구현하였다. 통신 시스템의 발달에 따라 고속으로 데이터를 전송하는 방식이 요구되었고, 유선망 없이 장소에 구애 받지 야고 데이터를 송수신할 수 있는 무선랜 시스템의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 필요성에 따라 2002년 6월 현재 발표된 IEEE 802.11g 규격 Draft 2.8은 2.4GHz 주파수 대역에서 기존 IEEE 802.11b규격과 호환성은 유지하며 전송속도를 최소 20Mbps 이상을 목표로 한다. IEEE802.119에 정의된 규정에 따라 OFDM방식의 기저대역 알고리즘을 TMX320C6416 을 사용하여 각 블록별로 C언어로 구현하였고, TMX320C6416에 대한 리니어 어셈블리 언어로 구현하는 최적화 작업을 통해 연산속도를 향상시키는 것을 목적으로 하며, 구현한 알고리즘의 비트 오류 확률을 매트랩 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교해 보도록 한다.

In this paper, we propose a C-band radiometer for remote sensing of land surface temperature and present its experiment results using asphalt as target. Total power type is selected for high sensitivity and low power consumption, super-heterodyne type is selected for stable high gain. A radiometer designed at 5.1 GHz to have operating bandwidth of 110 MHz has system gain of 59 dB, noise figure of 2.7 dB and receiving sensitivity of 0.45 K. We have measured surface temperature on asphalt by using implemented system and thermometer. Analysis data of each measurement results show that a radiometer operates linearly with output voltage variation rate of 6 $mV/^{\circ}C$. As a result, we verified validity of a developed C-band radiometer for remote sensing of land surface temperature.

위성 탑재체 제조 산업은 기초 과학이 뒷받침된 초정밀 기계 공학, 첨단 전자 기술, 극한 환경 기술 및 신소재 공학 등과 같은 첨단 산업의 집합체라 할 수 있다. 현재 미국을 비롯한 서구 선진국에서 진행중인 탑재체 기술동향을 보면, 폭발적으로 증가하는 위성수에 따라 위성 궤도가 부족하고 주파수 자원이 고갈되고 있는 상황에서 통신 위성의 효율성과 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 신호처리 탑재(OBP) 위성과 통신기능을 포함한 다양한 기능을 가진 복합위성 개발이 진행되고 있으며 주파수 대역의 포화와 광대역 멀티미디어 서비스 제공 등을 위해 보다 높은 주파수의 준 밀리미터파 대역(Ka 대역) 위성 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 국내에서는 현재, 2008년 발사를 목표로 마이크로스위치 매트릭스(MSM)가 탑재되어 빔간 스위칭이 가능하도록 설계된 통신해양기상위성(COMS)용 통신 탑재체(SACOM) 개발이 진행중이다. 국내의 위성탑재용 RF 부품분야는 1990년부터 위성 중계기 시스템의 기본적인 설계, 조립, 종합화, 시험기술을 바탕으로 통신위성 탑재체용 초고주파 부품을 개발하여 왔으며, 2000년대에는 Ku 대역(12/14GHz) 및 Ka 대역(20/30GHz) 기술인증모델(EQM) RF 부품을 성공적으로 개발하였다. 이를 바탕으로 통신해양기상위성 통신탑재체용 Ka 대역 RF 부품이 현재 우주인증 모델(QM)의 개발이 완료되었으며 비행 모델(FM) 개발이 진행중이다.
