We predict the electromagnetic wave propagation in space environments using geometrical optics. The effective indices of the troposphere, stratosphere, and ionosphere are computed, and the reflection, refraction, and attenuation of electromagnetic waves in space environments are calculated based on the ray tracing technique and geometrical optics. The influence of the refractive index and loss of atmosphere and the incident angle of the antenna on electromagnetic wave propagation is discussed.

We calculate the propagation characteristic of antennas considering refractive indices of space environments. The effective indices of troposphere, stratosphere, and inonshpere are computed and the ray tracing method, geometrical optics, and Huygens' principle are used to estimate refracted and attenuated electromagnetic wave of space environment.

The electromagnetic compatibility and its effects, and the system design considerations in space environment are studied in this paper using Multipator. The system level EMC test results of digital channel amplifier(DCAMP), its affects upon the H/W improving methods regarding its over exceed value of EMC specification are discussed. These analysis values and test results can be used as the criteria for the selection of EMC requirements and of the MILSATCOM system design.

This paper deals with electromagnetic tests of the GPS receiver system that should be developed to satisfy emission and susceptibility requirements for a satellite launch vehicle. Performance of the GPS receiver system against electromagnetic environment that is improved through several tests satisfies all requirements about electromagnetic tests. The outline of the electromagnetic tests and emission test results of CE102, CE106 and RE102 on MIL-STD-461E are described in Part I.

The purpose of this paper is to understand the behavior of GHTAW process under the space environment with the experimental and numerical analysis. Gas Hollow Tungsten Arc Welding (GHTAW) using a hollow tungsten electrode was adopted, since the ignition and discharge of a conventional GTAW process is not appropriate to the space environment due to low pressure in space. In order to clarify the phenomena of GHTAW under space environment, an investigation of thermal and physical properties of the GHTAW arc plasma was experimentally performed under low pressure conditions. Furthermore, the molten pool behavior and weldment of GHTAW were understood by CFD-based numerical analysis, based on the models of GHTA heat source, arc pressure and electromagnetic force induced by arc plasma, the characteristics of which were obtained by the captured images of a CCD camera.

In this paper, the propagation characteristics for ISM(Industrial Scientific and Medical) and TVWS(TV White Space) in indoor building environment are analyzed in comparison with theoretical and experimental results, the excellent propagation characteristics of the TVWS is confirmed. To this end, signals which have center frequencies of 503 MHz and 2.4 GHz are generated in building propagation environment. Through that, received power strength is measured according to the location and measured path loss is analyzed. Theoretical path loss is calculated using Hata, Extended Hata, Extended Hata SRD, ITU-R P.1238 and reliability for channel model in indoor environment is analyzed.

Solar flare and storm may give an adverse effect upon electromagnetic environment around the Earth, so that various kinds of satellite cease to normally function. This kind of space storm disaster is characterized by the uncertainty about when and what size. Recently the UN has been paying attention to this plausible disaster. Particularly the COPUOS has taken the view that this disaster would threaten the sustainable space environment. The precautionary principle, rooted and excercised in the environment protection filed, has been adopted in the case of disaster with uncertainty. The reports and opinions given by the expert and representatives of the member States have stated that the precautionary principle should be adopted for the purpose of dealing with this disaster. On the other hand, it is advanced that the principle has been already included in the space law principle enshrined in the 1967 Space Treaty. The Treaty has adopted the freedom of navigation and use of the outer space for the interest of all States as the basic principles. Sustainable environment is necessary for implementing the principle. Therefore, the rules for the protection of sustainable space environment should be based upon the space law principle.

In this paper, a method for measuring the dielectric constant of a planar dielectric substrate using the free space material constant measurement method in a general measurement environment is proposed. Two horn antennas and a network analyzer were used for S-parameter measurement and the transmission and reflection coefficients of a planar dielectric substrate were calculated from the measurement results. To obtain a reliable dielectric constant in a low-precision-measurement environment, only the magnitude of the transmission coefficient, which has a small error due to the measurement environment, is used for dielectric constant estimation. Finally, the dielectric constant is determined by comparing the measured results at different frequencies.

This paper presents a hardware implementation of the STS diversity system, utilizing FPGAs and introduces the function and the design method of each of the modules of the system. In order to improve the performance of the implemented STS system which is an open loop transmit diversity system under fading environment, the exact estimation of the communication channel is essential. Therefore, we propose the optimal forgetting factor to estimate pilot channel in this paper, It is shown in this paper that the pilot channel is estimated using the forgetting factor of 0.7 without increasing the integration range of the pilot channel even when the power of pilot channel is not sufficiently large in CDMA 2000 1x signal environment.
