A three axes marine satellite antenna has been developed. As a design step, a CAD model for the antenna has been created according to the design requirements. Kinematic analyses are carried out to insure design specification and to check collision detection of the CAD model. Marine satellite antennas experience base motions, and a relevant control system should control the three antenna axis to point to the satellites accurately. A sensor fusion algorithm and a PIDA (Proportional, Integral, Derivative, Acceleration) control algorithm are designed and implemented to control the yaw, level, and cross-level angle of a small size satellite marine antenna. Antenna stabilization control experiments are performed using a test simulator which gives the antenna base motions. Experimental results show small pointing errors, which is less than 0.2 degree for the level, cross-level, and yaw axis.

This paper presents the development of a satellite antenna tracking control system using a plane antenna for mobile DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting) reception. To track more rapidly in the antenna of this system, this simple tracking system only tracks a direction of azimuth using pendulum in the direction of elevation. This system should track using the AGC(Automatic Gain Control) of the signal level which can receive DAB in spite of the changing of point and movement of the mobile. The directional gyro sensor is attached to solve the delay time in the Proposed tracking algorithm. The effectiveness of both the stabilization and tracking algorithm is demonstrated through experiment measuring AGC signal level. The implemented satellite antenna tracking control system is shown to be excellent for mobile DAB reception.

This paper presents the development of a tracking algorithm for shipborad satellite antenna systems which can enhance the tracking performance. In order to overcome some drawbacks of the conventional step tracking algorithm a new tracking algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm searches for the best tracking angles using gradient-based formulae and signal intensities measured according to a search pattern. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation using real data.

As for satellite programs, the multipurpose satellite 1(KOMPSAT-1) was successfully launched on Dec. 21, 1999 and operated for three years. It is still properly operated even though its life cycle was ended. The development of KOMPSAT-2 (Korea Multipurpose Satellite-2) is near completion and the development of KOMPSAT-3, KOMPSAT-5 and COMS (Communication, Ocean, Meterological Satellite) are proceeding swiftly. In KORDI(Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute), the KOSC (Korea Ocean Satellite Center) construction project is being prepared for acquisition, processing and distribution of sensor data via L-band from GOCI(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) instrument which is loaded on COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite); it will be launched in 2000. Ansan(the headquarter of KORDD has been selected for the location of KOSC between 5 proposed sites, because it has the best condition to receive radio wave. The data acquisition system is classified antenna and RF. Antenna is designed to be ${\emptyset}$ 9m cassegrain antenna which has 19.35 $G/T(dB/^{\circ}K)$ at 1.67GHz, RF module, is divided into LNA(Low noise amplifier) and down converter, those are designed to send only horizontal polarization to modem The existing building is re-designed and classified for the KOSC operation concept; computing room, board of electricity, data processing room, operation room Hardware and network facilities have been designed to adapt for efficiency of each functions. The distribution system which is one of the most important systems will be constructed mainly on the internet, and it is also being considered constructing outer data distribution system as a web hosting service for to offering received data to user under an hour.

In this paper, the dual band circular polarization patch antenna was designed by using band rejection characteristics of CSRR structure for geostationary satellites. A quadrangular CSRR structure was etched on the ground at the rear of the patch antenna's feed to obtain band rejection characteristics in between the receiving frequency band(1525~1559MHz) and transmission band(1626.5~1660.5MHz), and the corner of the patch antenna was truncated to enable circular polarization. It was confirmed that the resonant frequency of the patch antenna differs according to the size anc location of the CSRR and cirular polarization characteristics with simulation and measurement results. Measurement results shows the gain of about 0.2dB and 1.5dB in the TX and RX band.

In this paper, dual band patch antenna was designed using a CSRR structure with negative values permeability which inserted into the ground plane. We propose an antenna that can be used in dual band f1(1.53GHz) and f2(1.63GHz) for satellite communications by using the CSRR placed on the backside of feeding line, which is a negative shape of SRR. The proposed antenna can be arrayed using microstrip line and can be made smaller than conventional patch antenna. The fabricated antenna has the input reflection coefficient of -12.5dB and -14.5dB at f1 and f2, and the gain of 2dB and -0.8dB, respectively. and it was confirmed that the performance was sufficient in the dual-band.

Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS) for the hybrid mission of meteorological observation, ocean monitoring, and telecommunication service was launched onto Geostationary Earth Orbit on June 27, 2010 and it is currently under normal operation service after the In-Orbit Test (IOT) phase. The COMS is located on $128.2^{\circ}$ East of the geostationary orbit. In order to perform the three missions, the COMS has 3 separate payloads, the meteorological imager (MI), the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), and the Ka-band antenna. Each payload is dedicated to one of the three missions, respectively. The MI and GOCI perform the Earth observation mission of meteorological observation and ocean monitoring, respectively. During the IOT phase the functionalities and the performances of the COMS satellite and ground station have been checked through the Earth observation mission operation for the observation of the meteorological phenomenon over several areas of the Earth and the monitoring of marine environments around the Korean peninsula. The operation characteristics of meteorological mission and ocean mission are described and the mission planning for the COMS is discussed. The mission operation results during the COMS IOT are analyzed through statistical approach for the study of both the mission operation capability of COMS verified during the IOT and the satellite image reception capacity achieved during the IOT.
