In this paper, interference effect given from non-geostationary orbit link into geostationary orbit link is analyzed by BER performance. To analyze the interference effect with the angle between satellites, the angular separation is changed from $1^{\circ}$ to $8^{\circ}$, and the number of the satellite is also changed from 1 to 4 for analyzing it. From the results, the interference effect into the geostationary orbit service from non-geostationary orbit link is more increased according to the angular separation that is decreased. Especially, the small angle gives more interference effects to the geostationary orbit link. Furthermore, more number of interfering satellites gives more interference effect to the geostationary orbit link. However, the angle between the interference orbit and geostationary orbit gives more effect to the system performance then the number of the interference orbit.

The link of Geostationary Communication Satellite has transit delay and noise environments by physical distance. This situation exerts an influence on the degradation of baseband performance of Earth Station. Therefore, it is very important that degradation of baseband performance is grasped previously. This paper is presented that developed the simulator which can evaluate the baseband performance of earth station of a military satellite communication system during the current development. The simulator can mock delay on a satellite channel and bit errors without being used actual satellite links.

In this paper, interference effect given from non-geostationary orbit link into geostationary orbit link is analyzed by BER performance curve. To analyse the interference effect with the angle between satellites, the angular separation is changed from $1^{\circ}$ to $8^{\circ}$, and the number of the satellite is also changed from 1 to 4 for analyzing it. From the result under those research environments, the interference effect into the geostationary orbit service is more increased according to the angular separation that is decreased. Especially, the small angle gives more interference effects to the geostationary orbit link. Furthermore, more number of interfering satellites gives more interference effect to the geostationary orbit link.

The classical PCM/PSK/PM scheme has been commonly used for TC & R applications between satellites and ground stations in the S-band. We analyzed TC & R link performance between ground station and the geostationary satellite which employs PCM/PSK/PM, when the satellite are particularly on the Super Synchronous Transfer Orbit(SSTO). The satellite parameters on SSTO are assumed to be those operating on the geostationary orbit, considering heritage aspect. In the uplink, the results shown indicate that sufficient margins over 3 dB are obtained when the EIRP of ground station is greater than 65 dBW. The down link performance is of great interest. By adjusting the telemetry modulation index and ranging modulation index, we could obtain the required margin of 3.0 dB in the down link, and find out the minimum G/T of ground station. In conclusion, the previously operated ground stations during LEOP at COMS launch, can be operational when GEO injection is made using SSTO(65,000 km and 70,000 km).

It was discussed to satellite based DCS (NOAA, Orbcomm, ADEOS-II, CBERS in polar satellite and GMS, GOES, METEOSAT, INSAT, FY-2 in geostationary satellite) with PTT (Platform Transmitter Terminal) and DCP (Data collection Platform) in order to application of real-time DCS (Data Collection System) in the ocean and fisheries. For covering ocean data link area in the eastern hemisphere, it was proposed to take DCS on the Korean geostationary satellite in the marine environments.

The transponder simulator designed to simulate the transponder of military satellite communication systems in the geostationary orbit is required to have time delay function, because of 250 ms delay time, when a radio wave transmits the distance of 36,000 km in free space. But, it is very difficult to develop 250 ms time delay device in the transponder simulator of 100 MHz bandwidth, due to unstable operation of FPGA, loss of memory data for the high speed rate signal processing. Up to date, bandwidth of the time delay device is limited to 45 MHz bandwidth. To solve this problem, we propose the new time delay techniques up to 100 MHz bandwidth without data loss. Proposed techniques are the low speed down scaling and high speed up scaling methods to read and write the external memory, and the matrix structure design of FPGA memory to treat data as high speed rate. We developed the satellite link simulator in 100 MHz bandwidth using the proposed new time delay techniques, implemented to the transponder simulator and verified the function of 265 ms time delay device in 100 MHz bandwidth.

The COMS, Korea's first geostationary multipurpose satellite program will accommodate 3 kind of payloads; Ka-Band communication transponder, GOCI (Geostationary Ocean Color Imager), and MI (Meteorological Imager). MI raw data will be transferred to ground station via L-band link. The ground station will perform image data processing for raw data, generate them into the LRIT/HRIT format, the user dissemination data recommended by the CGMS. The LRIT/HRIT are disseminated via satellite to user stations. This paper shows the COMS LRIT data generation procedure based on COMS LRIT specification and its verification results using the LRIT user station.

Satellite optical communication has gained significant attention owing to its many quality features (e.g., a larger bandwidth, license free spectrum, higher data rate, and better security) compared to satellite microwave communication. Various experiments have been performed during many space missions to demonstrate and characterize inter-satellite links, downlinks, and uplinks. Korea has also planned to establish an experimental communication system using a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite and the Geochang station as an optical ground station for low Earth orbit (LEO)-to-ground optical relay links. In this study, the performance of inter-satellite communication links and downlinks was investigated for the new Korean experimental communication system in terms of link margin, bit error rate (BER), and channel capacity. In particular, the performance of the inter-satellite links was analyzed based on the receiving apertures and the transmitting power, while that of the downlink was analyzed in terms of atmospheric turbulence conditions and transmitting power. Finally, we discussed two system parameters of receiving aperture and transmitting power to meet the three criteria of link margin, BER, and channel capacity.

A mobile antenna for multimedia communications with Ku-band geostationary satellite KOREASAT-3 and JSAT-2A is presented. The forward link of the satellite communication is 11.7 to 12.75 GHz, and the return link is 14.0 to 14.5 GHz. The mobile antenna is designed to be a stair structure using 24 active phased array elements in order to provide a low profile, and to be at a non-periodic array distance using the genetic algorithm. Also, the designed antenna uses the double beam forming method for stable satellite tracking. The fabricated mobile antenna is examined using various experiments to confirm its capability for practical application. From the measured results, the fabricated mobile antenna system is confirmed to have a good performance.
