인공위성은 지상에서부터 발사 및 궤도 운용까지 다양한 전자파 환경에 노출되며 이러한 환경에서의 위성 운용을 검증하기 위하여, 다양한 전자파 환경을 모사하는 전자파 환경시험을 수행하게 된다. 특히, 궤도내에서 위성의 운용시 지상국과의 교신을 위하여 X 밴드 안테나와 S 밴드 안테나에서 지상국으로 강한 전자기파를 방사하게 되는데, 이 방사에너지가 위성에 영향을 주는지 검증하는 시험을 지상에서 수행한다. 이런 시험을 RFC (RF Auto-Compatibility) 시험이라고 부른다. RFC 시험은 위성으로부터 방사되는 전자기파가 외부에 새어나가지 않도록 전자파 챔버내에서 시험하며, 강한 전자기파를 흡수할 수 있는 고전력 전파 흡수체가 설치된 전자파 챔버가 필요하다. RFC 시험시 X 밴드 안테나와 S 밴드 안테나를 최대 전력으로 방사시키고, 이때 위성 주변에 전자파 센서를 부착하여 전계강도를 측정함으로써 위성으로 입사되는 전자기파의 세기가 적정 레벨 이하인지를 검증하고, 동시에 위성의 운용상태를 확인하여 위성에 영향이 없음을 검증한다. 본 논문에서는 다목적 실용위성 3호의 RFC 시험시 측정된 전계강도를 이론적으로 검증하고, RS 시험시 인가하는 레벨과의 상관관계를 설명한다. RS 시험 레벨의 선정은 위성 안테나의 방사레벨과 관련이 있으며 RFC 시험결과를 검토함으로써 RFC 시험 결과의 유효성과 RF 레벨 요구사항의 적절성을 검증한다.

In this paper, we analyzed linkbudget with comparing actual received level of telemetry system at Palau Tracking Station. Because Palau Tracking Station participated in the launch mission for the first time and lack of verification tests for antenna tracking and signal reception performance, we analyzed the linkbudget more accurately by predicting transmit antenna polarization gain according to the trajectory and attitude of launch vehicle. The analysis results were used to analyze signal reception range, antenna operation angle and LHCP/RHCP received level. The actual received level of the antenna was similar to the linkbudget result as a result of the launch mission operation.

우리는 전파를 기반으로 하는 유비쿼터스 통신 시대를 향해 살고 있다. 새로운 통신 시대를 꿈꾸며 살아가는 현대인은 거의 매일 무선 통신을 이용하고 있으며 그것을 가능케 하는 안테나 기술은 눈부시게 발전하고 있다. 그러나 요즘처럼 무선 통신 서비스가 다양해지고 전파가 전파(propagation)되는 환경은 열악해지고 있는 상황에서 무선통신의 품질은 안테나의 성능에 좌우된다. 또한 통신방송융합서비스가 가시화되면서 더욱 성능이 우수한 안테나 모델을 개발하기 위해 다양한 기술적 접근이 시도되고 있다. 본 기고에서는 지상파 DMB 단말기로 대표되는 통방융합 무선통신 단말기에 적합한 소형 안테나 기술, RF 및 밀리미터파 시스템의 소형화, 고효율화, 집적화 추세에 따른 능동형 안테나 기술, 소형화된 다중대역 안테나 기술, 그리고 신소재 응용 안테나에서 재구성 안테나 기술까지 다양한 안테나 기술의 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

This paper proposes a miniaturized half-circular-slot UWB antenna. Using an analysis of the neld patterns, we show that the original circular-slot UWB antenna operates on a series of multi-pole radiation based on $TE_n$ modes, and a perfect magnetic wall exists along an axis of symmetry on the antenna. Using the perfect magnetic wall we designed and fabricated the miniaturized UWB antenna on RF-60A substrate with t=0.64mm, ${\varepsilon}_r=6.15\;and\;tan\;{\delta}=0.0025$, which not only has the half size of the original but also maintains UWB characteristics. The measured gain of the miniaturized antenna is $-2.1{\sim}4.3dBi$, which is comparable with the gain, $-2.7{\sim}3.1dBi$, of the original circular-slot UWB antenna. The radiation pattern is also similar to that of the original antenna.

The antenna is fabricated and optimized based on the simulation result and installed on the backside of the sensor circuit and measured. The measured bandwidth, gain and beamwidth are 7%(VSWR$\leq$2), 4.8dBi and about 55o(El)/15o(Az), respectively.

The millimeter wave that uses the spectrum in the 30GHz~300GHz band has a shorter wavelength due to its high carrier frequency, so it is suitable for Massive MIMO systems because more antennas can be equipped in the base station. However, since an RF chain is required per antenna, hardware cost and power consumption increase as the number of antennas increases. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate antenna selection schemes to solve this problem. In order to solve the problem of high computational complexity in the exhaustive search based antenna selection scheme, we propose a approach of applying deep learning technology. An best antenna combination is predicted using a DNN model capable of classifying multi-classes. By simulation tests, we compare and evaluate the existing antenna selection schemes and the proposed deep learning-based antenna selection scheme.

The high-$T_c$ Superconducting (HTS) antenna which consists of "H" type resonator has the benefits for the miniaturization of antenna in comparison with the microstrip antenna of the similar dimension. To fabricate the "H" type antenna, HTS $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) thin films were deposited on MgO substrates using rf-magnetron sputtering. Standard etching processes were performed for the patterning of the "H" type antenna. For comparison between normal conducting antennas and superconducting antennas, the gold antennas with the same dimension were also fabricated. An aperture coupling was used for impedance matching between $50{\Omega}$ feed line and HTS radiating patch. The diverse experimental results were reported in terms of the resonant frequency, the return loss and the characteristics impedance. The "H" type superconducting antenna showed the performance of 1.36 in SWR, 24% in efficiency, and 14.6 dB in the return loss superior of the normal conducting counterpart.

In this paper, we proposed on the azimuth correction method for a line-of-sight data-link tracking antenna system. Tracking antenna system is essential to maintain line-of-sight between moving object and data-link equipment. In order to calculate the azimuth and elevation between the moving object and antenna system, we used GPS data. also to match the each coordinate systems, we used geomagnetic sensor or beacon. However, the geomagnetic disturbance-prone terrain in places difficult to correct calibration. The first step, finds the location of the strongest RF signal, we should remember the difference between the reference point and the detected position of the antenna. The second step, we could communicate each other. And the azimuth angle is calculated by GPS values. Despite the geomagnetic interference, we can correct the azimuth angle quickly and easily.

This paper presents a polarization switching antenna integrated with silicon RF MEMS SPDT switches in the form of a package. A low-loss quartz substrate made of SoQ (silicon-on-quartz) bonding is used as a dielectric material of the patch antenna, as well as a packaging lid substrate of RF MEMS switches. The packaging/antenna substrate is bonded with the bottom substrate including feeding lines and RF MEMS switches by BCB adhesive bonding, and RF energy is transmitted from signal lines to antenna by slot coupling. Through this approach, fabrication complexity and degradation of RF performances of the antenna due to the parasitic effects, which are all caused from the packaging methods, can be reduced. This structure is expected to be used as a platform for reconfigurable antennas with RF MEMS tunable components. A linear polarization switching antenna operating at 19 GHz is manufactured based on the proposed method, and the fabrication process is carefully described. The s-parameters of the fabricated antenna at each state are measured to evaluate the antenna performance.
