Due to the complex arrangement of frequency plans and spatial overages in modern satellite communications, channels that are non-contiguous in frequency may be amplified by a single power amplifier and transmitted to the ground through one beam. In this paper, a dual-mode canonical filter with dual-passband is presented. The filter adopts dual-mode technique for mass and volume reduction. Canonical structure is adopted for maximum transmission zero realization. To validate the design technique, a 6-pole dual-mode canonical dual-passband filter for Ka-band(30/20 ㎓) satellite transponder is realized. The measured frequency response of the filter shows good agreement with the computed one.

The COMS(Communication, Ocean & Meteorological Satellite)is the geostationary satellite which will be performing three main objectives such as meteorological service, ocean monitoring and Ka-band satellite communications. This paper presents the analysis of the electromagnetic radiated compatibility between COMS satellite and the ARIANE 5 launch vehicle. As a conclusion, a good level of confidence can be given at present time to demonstrate the compatibility between the spacecraft and the launcher, and vice versa. No threat has been identified regarding the other units powered during launch mode.

In this paper, we analyze throughput performance of MF-TDMA scheme and QS MC-DS/CDMA(quasi-synchronous MC-DS/CDMA) scheme based on scrambling on WH sequence and PPGC sequence in early frequency offset caused by high speed transfer terminal. QS MC-DS/CDMA scheme with scrambled WH sequence shows 5.7% higher throughput than MF-TDMA scheme and 8% higher throughput than QS MC-DS/CDMA with PPGC sequence in high speed transfer terminal environment such as maximum 1000Km/h speed with high frequency of Ka-band. Finally, we show that QS MC-DS/CDMA scheme with scrambled WH sequence is more efficient than traditional MF-TDMA scheme at the aspect of throughput in DVB-RCS system with Ka frequency band.

Line-of-sight communications cannot easily support korean armed forces because of mountainous terrain. ADD(Agency for Defense Development) introduced ANASIS(Army Navy Air-force Satellite Information System) to meet the Korean warfighter's operational needs. Currently, army's military satcom terminal is designed for either fixed site or on-the-pause operation. The US army is under development of multi-band integrated on-the-move satellite terminals to let the army's communication capability to keep pace with globally deployable Joint Task Force for network-centric application. In this paper we analyzed X-band and Ka-band link and subsystem requirement. Our focus here is to describe key technical issues. Especially, On the basis of 3dB beam width of 0.9m antenna, Tracking accuracy and disturbances compensation signal processing on-the-move of Antenna Tracking system is analyzed. Also, protocol is analyzed that minimize blockage on the move due to an obstacle. when the received signal blocked, it stop to transmit burst signal and retransmit when blockage removed through received synchronization signal monitoring. Analyzed specification will be used to make prototype terminal to analyze risk for mass production

As a multi-mission GEO satellite, Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is scheduled to be launched in the year 2009. COMS has three different payloads: Ka-band communication payload, Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) and Meteorological Imager (MI). Among the three payloads, MI and GOCI have several conflict relationships; one of them is that if MI mirror moves vertically larger than 4 Line Of Sight (LOS) angle while GOCI is imaging, image quality of GOCI becomes degraded. In this paper, MI scheduling algorithm to prevent GOCI's image quality degradation will be presented.

As a multi-mission GEO satellite, COMS system is being developed jointly by KARI, ETRI, KORDI, KMA, and industries from both abroad and domestic. EADS ASRTIUM is the prime contractor for manufacturing the COMS. ETRI is developing the COMS Ka-band payload and SGCS with the fund from MIC. COMS Satellite Ground Control System (SGCS) will be the only system for monitor and control of the satellite in orbit. In order to fulfill the mission operations of the three payloads and spacecraft bus, COMS SGCS performs telemetry reception and processing, satellite tracking and ranging, command generation and transmission, satellite mission planning, flight dynamics operations, and satellite simulation, By the proper functional allocations, COMS SGCS is divided into five subsystems such as TTC, ROS, MPS, FDS, and CSS. In this paper, functional design of the COMS SGCS is described as five subsystems and the interfaces among the subsystems.

Adaptive transmission technique is an effective means to counter-measure rain attenation that is one of the most significant factors degrading link quality in satellite communication systems. This paper introduces a simulator for adaptive transmission technique to compensate rain attenuation. In the simulator, a dynamic rain attenuation model is loaded, which was developed to synthesize Korean rain attenuation dynamics at a frequency band of Ka. It is a Markov chain model with rain attenuation parameters extracted from the rain attenuation data measured per second. In addition, various transmission schemes are embedded so that a user defined simulations can be performed. This paper demonstrates simulation results of adaptive schemes in comprison with fixed schemes, and show the efficiency of the adaptive schemes to compensate the rain attenuation.

The COMS (Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite) performing meteorological and ocean monitoring and providing communication service with meteorological, ocean and Ka-band payload in the geostationary orbit includes MODCS (Meteorological and Ocean Data Communication Subsystem) which provides transmitting the raw data collected by meteorological payload called MI (Meteorological Imager) and ocean payload named GOCI (Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) to the ground station and relaying the meteorological data processed on the ground to the end-user stations. MODCS comprises of two channels: SD channel which formats the raw data according to CCSDS recommendation, amplifies and transmits its signal to the ground station; MPDR channel which relays to the end-user stations the ground-processed meteorological data in the data format of LRIT/HRIT recommended by CGMS. This paper constructs the architecture of MODCS for transmitting and relating the observed data, and investigates that the key performance parameters have the required margin through the preliminary performance analyses.

This paper addresses EMC test results for the EQM Communications & Broadcasting Satellite(CBS) Ka-band Payload System. The aim of the EMC test is to verify that the payload system has no effect on the other system and is not affected by the external field. The compliance of EMC system requirements was verified by the analysis and measurement of the emission level from the payload system. The variation of performance by noise injection was measured to inspect the susceptibility of the payload system. The analysis and test results also showed that the electromagnetic interference has no serious effect on the overall payload system performance. It is confirmed that the EQM CBS Ka-band payload system can be operable in the space environment from the EMC performance's viewpoint. It is also obtained that better performance can be acquired by improving waveguide design and integration method.

While South Korea's wire and witless communications attain a world-wide level in the latest information-oriented society, North Korea's communications infra get fared with underdeveloped situation even not to meet a basic telephone demand as the 70's in South korea. The exchange and cooperation between the Sout h and North' korea's in the formation & telecommunication field implies the important point that makes ready for the reunification of North and South as the core of the exchange and cooperation in an economic and society, other field. Therefore a communications satellite as the infrastructure for the network construction preparing the reunification can be the most suitable plan for the communication infrastructure in korea's area be cause it is easy to build a network and gets an advantage to service all area of south anti north korea at a n/time.
