In the past, radio astronomers have sought isolation from man-made signals by placing their telescopes in remote locations. These measures may no longer safeguard scientific observations, since NGSO satellite systems, particularly low-Earth orbit (LEO) systems, are usually designed to provide global or wide regional coverage. Further, radio astronomers have historically made their observations in the frequency bands allocated for their use by the member countries of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The science of radio astronomy could be adversely impacted by the deployment of large constellations of new non-geostationary orbiting (NGSO) satellites for telecommunications, navigation and Earth observation, and the proliferation of new, high-power broadcasting and telecommunication satellites in geostationary (GSO) orbits. Radio telescopes are extremely sensitive, and, in certain situations, signals from satellites can overwhelm the signals from astronomical sources. This paper describes the problem in detail and identifies ways to mitigate it without adversely affecting the continued vigorous growth of commercial space-based telecommunications.

Wireless communication technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in smart factories, but the rise in the number of wireless devices can lead to interference in the ISM band and obstacles like metal blocks within the factory can weaken communication signals, creating radio shadow areas that impede information exchange. Consequently, accurately determining the radio communication coverage range is crucial. To address this issue, a Radio Environment Map (REM) can be used to provide information about the radio environment in a specific area. In this paper, a technique for estimating an indoor REM usinga mobile robot and machine learning methods is introduced. The mobile robot first collects and processes data, including the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and location estimation. This data is then used to implement the REM through machine learning regression algorithms such as Extra Tree Regressor, Random Forest Regressor, and Decision Tree Regressor. Furthermore, the numerical and visual performance of REM for each model can be assessed in terms of R2 and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).

최근 기업과 개인 및 그 외 다양한 분야에서 고속 무선 통신기술의 수요가 증가함에 따라 최적화된 서비스를 계획하기 위해 전파의 도달범위에 관한 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있으나, 접근이 제한되는 고지대의 경우는 전파를 실측하고 도달범위를 분석하는데 많은 제한이 되고 있다. 신규 서비스들의 원활한 통신 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 다양한 전파 환경에서 폭넓은 주파수 대역을 바탕으로 하는 조건(전파 모델의 선택, 주파수 대역에 따른 보정 값 등)이 고려되어야 한다. 특히 전파 환경이 복잡해짐에 따라 각 주파수 대역에 대한 지역별 전파 환경의 측정, 조사를 통하여 실시간 전파 스펙트럼의 변화 등을 조기에 감지함으로써 적절한 대책을 수립할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 실시간 스펙트럼 분포 상태 조사를 통해 지역별 전파 환경 기초 자료의 확보가 필요하며, 전파 측정 데이터의 저장 및 분석을 통한 추후 문제 발생 시 빠른 대책 수립이 가능해야한다. 본 논문에서는 신뢰성 있는 전파도달범위를 분석 및 예측을 위해 HTZ Warfare를 이용하여 접근이 제한되는 국내 각 고지대 지역에서 실측 전파데이터를 수집하고, 예측된 데이터와 비교하여 상관관계 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 주파수별, 전파모델별 분석 및 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 각 고지대에서 가장 적합한 전파 모델들을 비교 평가하였다.

이 논문에서는 국내 라디오 이용 현황을 영국, 미국 등 국외 비교하였다. 비교 결과 영국, 미국의 라디오 이용률이 모두 90% 전후로 높게 나타났으나, 국내는 21.7%로 매우 낮은 것이 확인되었다. 또한 영국, 미국은 라디오 방송이 재난 시 재난경보 메시지를 전달하기 위한 중요 매체로 인식되어 있으나, 국내는 재난상황에서 라디오 방송의 중요성이 0.7%로 평가되어 그 중요성이 간과되고 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 국내 라디오 방송 이용률을 올리기 위한 방안들로 '라디오 수신율 제고 등 서비스 품질 개선', '재난경보 매체로서의 라디오 방송의 중요성 인식 개선', '디지털 라디오 도입' 및 'FM 라디오 데이터 방송 도입' 등이 제시되었다.

A heterogeneous network (HetNet) is a network topology composed by deploying multiple HetNets under the coverage of macro cells (MCs). It can improve network throughput, extend cell coverage, and offload network traffic; for example, the network traffic of a 5G mobile communications network. A HetNet involves a mix of radio technologies and various cell types working together seamlessly. In a HetNet, coordination between MCs and small cells (SCs) has a positive impact on the performance of the networks contained within, and consequently on the overall user experience. Therefore, to improve user-perceived service quality, HetNets require high-efficiency network protocols and enhanced radio technologies. In this paper, we introduce a 5G HetNet comprised of MCs and both fixed and mobile SCs (mSCs). The featured mSCs can be mounted on a car, bus, or train and have different characteristics to fixed SCs (fSCs). In this paper, we address the technical challenges related to mSCs. In addition, we analyze the network performance under two HetNet scenarios-MCs and fSCs, and MCs and mSCs.

This paper theoretically and empirically explores the reliability gain that can be obtained by installing multiple antennas in on-vehicle broadcasting receivers. Analytical derivations reveal that maximal-ratio-combining-based diversity allows a multi-antenna receiver (MR) to achieve significantly better coverage probability than a single-antenna receiver (SR). In particular, the notable MR gains for low-power reception and high-throughput services are highlighted. We also discuss various aspects of mobile MRs, including geometric coverage, volume of the users served, and impact of receiver velocity. To examine the feasibility of MRs in the real world, extensive field experiments were conducted, particularly with on-air ATSC 3.0 broadcast transmissions. Relying on the celebrated erroneous second ratio criterion, MRs with two and four antennas were verified to achieve notable reliability gains over SRs in practice. Furthermore, our results also prove that layered-division multiplexing can cope better with receiver mobility than traditional time-division multiplexing when multiple services are intended in the same radio frequency channel.

In this paper we introduce a software package, the Very long baseline interferometry Network SIMulator (VNSIM), which provides an integrated platform assisting radio astronomers to design Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) experiments and evaluate the network performance, with a user-friendly interface. Though VNSIM is primarily motivated by the East Asia VLBI Network, it can also be used for other VLBI networks and generic interferometers. The software package not only integrates the functionality of plotting (u, v) coverage, scheduling the observation, and displaying the dirty and CLEAN images, but also adds new features including sensitivity calculations for a given VLBI network. VNSIM provides flexible interactions on both command line and graphical user interface and offers friendly support for log reports and database management. Multi-processing acceleration is also supported, enabling users to handle large survey data. To facilitate future developments and updates, all simulation functions are encapsulated in separate Python modules, allowing independent invoking and testing. In order to verify the performance of VNSIM, we performed simulations and compared the results with other simulation tools, showing good agreement.

In this paper, a millimeter-wave multi-beam antenna is studied by rotating the antipodal linear tapered slot antenna(ALTSA) with respect to a center is successfully designed. In order to lowering the SLL and enhancing the isolation between the ALTSA elements, a row of metallic via is inserted between the ALTSAs. A 9 beams antenna is designed and experimented at Ka band. The measured and simulated results agree well with each other. The antenna can provide horizontal wide angle coverage up to ${\pm}62^{\circ}$. The gain of each beam can achieve about 12.5 dB. The mutual coupling between ports is all below 20 dB.

Korea Astnonomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) operates two solar radio observing facilities, the Korean station of the e-CALLISTO and the Korean Solar Radio Burst Locator (KSRBL). The e-CALLISTO station had suffered from tracking problem for past several years. Since 2011, KASI has developed a new tracking system, and recently the antenna has regained the its sun-tracking capability and full day-time coverage. The KSRBL also suffered from the control computer breakdown last year. After one year of operational gap, the KSRBL restored its normal daily observation. We also expanded the data server storage capacity, to store the full original data of 25 ms integration time and 0.25 MHz frequency resolution, amounting to about 80 GB per day.
