The primary goal of any communication spacecraft is to provide communication in variety of frequency bands based on mission requirements within the Indian mainland. Some of the spacecrafts operating in S-band utilizes a 6m or larger aperture Unfurlable Antenna (UFA for S-band links and provides coverage through five or more S-band spot beams over Indian mainland area. The Unfurlable antenna is larger than the satellite and so the antenna is stowed during launch. Upon reaching the orbit, the antenna is deployed using motors. The deployment status of any deployment mechanism will be monitored and verified by the telemetered values of micro-switch position before the start of deployment, during the deployment and after the completion of the total mechanism. In addition to these micro switches, a camera onboard will be used for capturing still images during primary and secondary deployments of UFA. The proposed checkout system is realized for validating the performance of the onboard camera as part of Integrated Spacecraft Testing (IST) conducted during payload checkout operations. It is designed for acquiring the payload data of onboard camera in real-time, followed by archiving, processing and generation of images in near real-time. This paper presents the architecture, design and implementation features of the acquisition, processing and Image generation system for Camera onboard spacecraft. Subsequently this system can be deployed in missions wherever similar requirement is envisaged.

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) has been considered one of the key enablers of broadband wireless communications. The indoor environment is known to be favorable to ensure both high rank property and high signal-to-interference/noise ratio (SINR) to fully exploit MIMO spatial multiplexing (SM) gain. In this paper, we describe several practical deployment cases where repeater links (or relay links), such as those present with an indoor distributed antenna system (DAS), can act as keyholes to degenerate the rank property of MIMO communications. In this case, we cannot exploit MIMO SM gain in indoor environment. We propose a novel MIMO communication scheme which uses simple converter in the devices in repeater links to resolve the rank degeneration issue and to ensure MIMO SM gain in highly MIMO-favorable indoor environment. MIMO SM is possible over the indoor DAS with single cable line through use of simple converters, which enables practical deployment in real fields.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication may provide high spectral efficiency through the deployment of a very large number of antenna elements at the base stations. The gains from massive MIMO communication come from the use of multi-user MIMO on the uplink and downlink, but with a large excess of antennas at the base station compared to the number of served users. Initial work on massive MIMO did not fully address several practical issues associated with its deployment. This paper considers the impact of channel aging on the performance of massive MIMO systems. The effects of channel variation are characterized as a function of different system parameters assuming a simple model for the channel time variations at the transmitter. Channel prediction is proposed to overcome channel aging effects. The analytical results on aging show how capacity is lost due to time variation in the channel. Numerical results in a multicell network show that massive MIMO works even with some channel variation and that channel prediction could partially overcome channel aging effects.

During the sea trial, we discovered EMI between MOSCOS and ES DF antenna. CW emitted by MOSCOS raised the threshold level of ES DF antenna. As a result, direction finding rate of ES has been decreased. This is a study for the improvement of EMI between the antennas mounted on a surface ship. An analysis is accomplished for MOSCOS, ES DF antenna and Jamming transmitter. This paper presents the method how to solve EMI based on the measurements and calculations about the ES DF antenna receiving level, MOSCOS radiation pattern and Jamming transmitter thermal noise. The test was performed with optimal deployment of MOSCOS on a surface ship. After changing the position of MOSCOS, EMI has been decreased significantly.

일반적으로 큐브위성에 적용되는 통신방식은 모노폴과 다이폴 안테나를 이용한 전이중통신으로 UHF/VHF 두 대역을 이용하여 송 수신을 하는 방식이 적용되고 있으나, 장착공간의 제약을 받는 큐브위성에 적용할 경우, 안테나 구속 및 전개방식의 복잡화를 비롯해 안테나 장착만을 목적으로 하는 별도의 전용 판넬을 필요로 하는 등 탑재체 또는 태양전지탑재를 위한 공간 효율적 측면에서의 단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 큐브위성의 태양전지장착 공간 활용 극대화를 목적으로 상용 반이중 통신방식 UHF대역 송 수신 겸용 안테나를 선정하여 큐브위성의 통신 시스템 설계를 수행하였으며, 안테나의 사양 및 위성 운용조건으로부터 상향링크 및 하향링크에 대한 링크버짓 분석을 통해 상기 통신방식의 유효성을 입증하였다. 또한, 통신 시스템의 주요 구성 요소인 안테나 전개를 위해 본 큐브위성에 적용된 안테나 분리방식에 대해 소개하였다.

Since vehicles' trajectories are so complex and dense traffic changes in nature frequently, the VANET (Vehicles Ad-hoc Network), using Omni-directional Antenna, has many channel collisions (or overlapping) on Data Link phrases (MAC layers). It is not easy to keep a good seamless communication status for VANET because of its unpredictable network environment. Among VANET research, Directional Antenna have been proposed as one of the most common systematical solutions to reduce (or to mitigate) this miss-communication problems by narrowing communicational ranges and making use of its customized error-detection process. However, even though Directional Antennas help VANET keep good seamless communication, many VANET researchers have reported that Directional VANET still has miss-communicational problems - this has lead to problems like 'Directional Hidden Terminal Problem', 'Deafness', 'Un-accuracy Lobe Scopes' and 'High Deployment Cost' being reported in various papers. To establish well-organized design assessments for a good Directional VANET MAC protocol to overcome these problems, we rearranged and grouped current Directional VANET' qualitative criteria from several current survey papers using these categories- 'Directional Discovery', 'Directional Forwarding' and 'Directional Handover'. In addition, based on the results of the following analysis, we show the essential design concerns that need to be looked at in order to develop a well-designed Directional-VANET MAC protocol.

천리안위성(COMS)은 발사체에 실려 비행하는 동안 발사체의 단이나 위성덮개가 분리될 때와 위성이 발사체로부터 분리될 때 충격 하중을 받는다. 그리고, 발사체에서 분리 후 태양전지판이 전개 전개될 때, 통신안테나가 전개될 때, 그리고 기상탑재체 라디에이터 덮개가 전개될 때 충격하중을 받게 된다. 이들 충격하중에 대한 위성의 안전 여부를 지상에서 검증하기 위하여 충격 시험이 수행되었다. 본 논문에서는 천리안위성 개발 과정 중에 수행된 충격시험과 시험분석 과정을 소개하고, 해양탑재체(해양관측카메라)의 예를 이용하여 시험 결과에 대한 분석 방법을 소개하였다. 아리안-5 발사체의 경우 위성분리를 위한 조임띠 해제 충격이 위성덮개나 단분리 충격보다 낮다. 본 논문에서는 위성분리 충격시험 결과를 이용하여 발사체로부터 위성이 받는 최대 충격을 고려하기 위한 외삽법 또한 소개되었다.

The objective of this study was to implement an in vitro exposure system for 28 GHz to investigate the biological effects of fifth-generation (5G) communication. A signal source of 28 GHz for 5G millimeter-wave (MMW) deployment was developed, followed by a variable attenuator for antenna input power control. A power amplifier was also customized to ensure a maximum output power of 10 W for high-power 28-GHz exposure. A 3-dB uniformity over the 80 mm × 80 mm area that corresponds to four Petri dishes of three-dimensional cell cultures can be obtained using a customized choke-ring-type antenna. An infrared camera is employed for temperature regulation during exposure by adjusting the airflow cooling rate via real-time feedback to the incubator. The reported measurement results confirm that the input power control, uniformity, and temperature regulation for 28-GHz exposure were successfully accomplished, indicating the possibility of a wide application of the implemented in vitro exposure system in the fields of various MMW dose-response studies.
