본 논문에서는 주어진 임무에 대한 저궤도 위성용 TT&C(Telemetry Tracking and Command system) 안테나를 설계하기 위해 먼저 링크 버짓을 통해 요구 성능을 도출하고, 이에 따라 안테나를 설계한다. 전제된 임무 궤도는 태양 동기 원형 궤도이며, 지구 및 우주 관측 임무를 수행한다. TT&C 시스템의 링크 버짓을 설계하여 최소 3dB 마진을 가지기 위한 안테나의 요구 이득과 빔 폭을 도출하였으며, 이렇게 설계된 위성용 TT&C 안테나는 넓은 빔 폭을 가지는 원형 편파 턴스타일 안테나이다. 한편, 안테나를 위성에 설치하였을 때 방사 특성의 변화를 확인하였으며, 최적의 설치 위치를 제안하였다. 또한 설계된 턴스타일 안테나의 전기적 성능을 바탕으로 TT&C링크 모의실험을 통해 임무 중 안테나의 성능을 검증한다.

In early 2004, KARI developed 5ft S-Band TT&C antenna for especially KOMPSAT-2 operation in LEOP phase. This paper shows system features of 5ft S-Band antenna and its test result with KOMPSAT-l. Tracking test, command uplink test and telemetry downlink test were performed. Through tests, 5ft antenna was verified to be operational in uplink and downlink with KOMPSAT series. Due to its inherent wide 3dB beam-width of about 7deg at S-Band, this antenna system can be used very effectively even though orbital information is less accurate like LEOP and spacecraft safe mode.

The Angle-of-Arrival (AOA) estimation in real time is one of core technologies for the real-time tracking system, such as a radar or a satellite. Although AOA estimation algorithms for various antenna types have been studied, most of them are for the single-shaped array antenna suitable to the specific frequency. In this paper, we propose the cascade AOA estimation algorithm for the combined array antenna with Uniform Rectangular Frame Array (URFA) and Uniform Circular Array (UCA), with the excellent performance for various frequencies. The proposed technique is consisted of Capon for roughly finding AOA groups with multiple signal AOAs and Beamspace Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) for estimating the detailed signal AOA in the AOA group, for the combined array antenna. In addition, we provide computer simulation results for verifying the estimation performance of the proposed algorithm.

Wireless communication systems using airship have been proposed in worldwide. The airship will be located at the stratosphere about $20{\sim}23\;km$ above the sea level. The position of airship will vary within the station keeping range with time due to the drag of the wind in the stratosphere. When the earth station antenna has a high gain without the tracking function, the antenna performance may be degraded by a small variation of the airship. This means that variation of airship location could result in serious degradation of the system performance. In this paper, degradation in earth station's Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) and Gain to noise Temperature ratio (G/T) due to the stratospheric platform movements has been derived by calculating the deviation angle of the main beam directions between the earth station and the platform antenna. In this case, the antenna of the earth station has been assumed circular and/or patch array antennas.

본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성 원격측정데이터 신호 수신을 위한 S-대역 위상배열안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 16개의 부배열 조립체, 16개의 능동회로모듈, 수직 급전회로망 및 제어/전원반으로 구성되며 고각 방향으로 빔틸트가 수행된다. 개발된 안테나는 고각 축과 위성 궤적을 일치시키고 개구 중심을 위성 궤적 상의 최대 고각을 바라보도록 하여 정밀한 위성 추적을 수행하였다. 저궤도 위성의 궤적은 위성점 계산을 통하여 정확하게 산출하였다. 위성 추적 시험은 최대 고각을 기준으로 ±30° 범위에서 수행되였다. 위성 추적 시험 결과 최대 고각에서의 S/N비는 16.5 dB이고 Eb/No는 13.3 dB를 얻었다. 수행된 위성 추적 결과는 사전 시스템 분석 결과와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a Ku-band multi-mode coupler and its monopulse tracking system, which can be applied to a unmaned aircraft vehicle(UAV) platform. In general, the carrier-to-noise(C/N) level of the beacon signal from a Ku-band commercial satellite is relatively weak compared to that of a military satellite because the Ku-band satellite has been designed for commercial services. Therefore, this paper proposes a coupler and its multi-mode monopulse tracking system satisfying the tracking accuracy under a low C/N environment and analyzes the tracking accuracy. After that, we perform a real satellite tracking test and compare the accuracy of the test with the analysis result before validating the performance of the architecture of the proposed satellite tracking system.

Recently, location based service(LBS) expended based on personal specialized service, however since commercialized GPS based emergency rescue service comes with shadow zone for GPS signal such as inside building, the accuracy and reliability are not guaranteed. Therefore to improve such problem, we propose an active location detecting algorithm using RFID-TAG and Yagiantenna. To track the location of RFID-TAG where signal is generated, location tracking device in which Yagi-Antenna is installed moves around. Since directed wave and reflected wave co-exist during signal reception, final signal generated location is searched by setting up multiple of locations where signal can be generated on the map and moving location tracking device along minimum length of path. The algorithm proposed in this paper was verified of its technical validity through simulator.

In this paper, the parabolic antenna aims to the precise location of a moving ship or car that can be designed system using the gyro sensor. The parabolic antenna has controlled by stepping motor that is a lot of noise and slow response of speed. It has solved the problem which is noise and slow response using the BLDC motor. Also, in order to suppress the noise two-axis control and a separate encoder to the six degrees of freedom motion system was implemented in a precise location. Generally, the gyro sensor is not required to system that doesn't move the six degrees of freedom motion system. But the system will be applied to the moving such as ships or cars. Finally, we presented the position control algorithm at the sometimes controlled both gyro sensor and BLDC motor. This system was tracking that the location of the antenna to the desired angle and errors almost didn't happen when the system was moved 6 degrees of freedom.

A new mathematical model to predict the beam pointing instability of a nonconservative two-body satellite system in spinning injection mode has been developed by using Newton-Euler and projection methods. Since the on-axis and null axis of the omni antenna with toroidal pattern beam form a right angle, wobbling of the antenna on-axis is measured by determining the Euler angles which represent the orientation of the satellite's spin axis. Because of the complexity of the system which is a time varying, nonstationary, nonlinear dynamical system, a numerical method is used for the analysis. Computer simulation results present the effects of the mass distribution and internal mass motion on the antenna beam pointing.
