A S / X dual broad band patch antenna with shared aperture structure is fabricated. A $2{\times}2$ perforated patch is used for S-band operation and a $2{\times}2$ patch antenna array is integrated in the $2{\times}2$ perforation for X-band operation. The measurement results of a S / X dual broad band patch antenna with shared aperture structure show the broad band characteristics larger than 20 % in both bands.

This paper presents the multi-band mixer which converts a X-, K- and Ka-band adaptively by adjusting the gate-bias voltage of an active device. The proposed mixer presented a conversion loss of -10 dB at -0.8 V gate-bias voltage for X-band, a conversion loss of -9 dB at -0.3 V gate-bias voltage for K-band and for Ka-band, a conversion loss of -7 dB at -0.2 V gate-bias voltage under the LO power of +6.0 dBm. The 1dB compression point (P1dB) is +0.5 dBm for all band.

This paper describes the development and test result of X-band Transmitter flight model(FM) of STSAT-3 by satellite research center(SaTReC), KAIST. The communication sub-system of STSAT-3 is consist of two different frequency band channels. S-band frequency is used for Telemetry & Command, and X-band frequency is used for mission data. Payload observations data in Mass Memory Unit (MMU) is modulated by QPSK modulator in X-band Transmitter, and then QPSK modulation signal is transmitted to antenna through transfer switch. In this Paper, we described the results of modulation, low-pass filter design, power amp development, and switch test. The FM XTU is delivered Spacecraft Assembly, Integration and Test(AIT) level through the completion of functional Test and environmental(vibration, thermal vacuum) Test successfully.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the multi band Transceiver Assembly(TCA) for the Multi Channel Synthetic Aperture Radar(MCSAR) containing C-band, X-band, Ku-band and we researched to verify electrical performance of TCA. The transceiver consists of transmitters, receivers, signal selection modules for each band, and stability oscillator, frequency synthesizer, controller, power distributor. The transceiver has a receive path selection and bandwidth selection functions in accordance with the operating mode. And the transceiver can transmit and receive all three bands simultaneously, each band has a bandwidth of up to 300 MHz. Final transmission output of transceiver for each band is over 20 dBm to be suitable for driving the T/R module. Receiver bandwidth is selected according to the required function and receiver gain has approximately C-band 52 dB, X-band 50 dB, Ku-band 60 dB, the maximum noise figure of Ku-band V polarization is 4.28 dB in the whole band H, V polarization. As a result of the electrical performance test, a multi-band TCA is satisfied the property requirements of the MCSAR.

본 논문은 다해상도 웨이브릿 변환 영상에 대해 각 대역간의 상관관계와 대역내의 상관관계를 이용한 정지 영상 압축 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 대역분할 방식은 각 대역의 계수값의 특성을 이용한 부호화 방식과 대역간의 상관계만을 이용했던 것과는 달리 본 논문에서는 대역간의 상관관계뿐만 아니라 대역내의 이웃하는 픽셀간의 상관관계를 이용했다. 즉, 제안한 방식은 대역내의 계수들을 2x2 블록으로 해서 각 블록을 루트노드로 대역간의 상관관계를 이용했다. 만약 LL대역내의 2x2 블록내에 기준 임계치를 초과하는 계수가 존재치 않을 때는 블록 전체를 하나의 심볼로 부호화 함으로서 위치정보의 부호화 수를 줄여 부호화의 효율을 증가시켰다. 위치정보의 부호화를 위해 적응형 산술부호화를 사용하여 부호화 하였다. 또한 높은 압축율을 위해 Antonini의 9/7 tap biorthogonal 웨이브릿을 사용했고 이에 따른 실험결과 같은 비트율에서 JPEG 시스템보다 3.4dB의 성능향상을 보였다.

정지궤도 복합위성은 기상관측용 기상위성과 해양 및 환경관측용 해양/환경위성으로 계획되어있다. 기상위성은 2017년 발사, 해양/환경위성은 2018년 발사를 목표로 연구개발이 수행되고 있다. 정지궤도위성은 주파수 및 궤도 자원을 확보하기 위하여 국제전기통신연합(ITU)에 국제등록 절차를 수행하는 것이 요구되며, 이를 위해서는 우선적으로 위성의 궤도위치와 주파수 자원에 대한 선행연구가 필수적이며, 이러한 연구는 기상위성업무용 및 지구탐사위성 업무용 주파수 자원에 대한 관련 전파규칙 분석 작업 등의 업무가 함께 수행되어야 한다. 정지궤도 복합위성은 관제용 주파수 대역으로 L 대역 또는 S 대역이 가용 주파수 대역이고, 기상, 해양 및 환경 원시 데이터 전송용 주파수 대역은 X 또는 Ka 대역이 가용 주파수 대역이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 기상위성업무용 및 지구탐사위성업무용으로 가용한 L, S, X 및 Ka 주파수 대역을 검토하였고, 동 대역을 이용하여 국제등록 중인 위성망과 주요 위성망들의 전송제원 등에 대한 국제등록 현황을 분석하였다. 본 논문을 통하여 작성된 자료들은 향후 우리나라 정지궤도 위성망 궤도 및 주파수 자원 확보를 위한 국제등록에 활용될 수 있도록 분석하였다.

In this paper, we present the design and characterization of a power amplifier (PA) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) in the X-band. The device is designed using a 0.25 ㎛ gate length AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) on SiC process. The developed X-band AlGaN/GaN power amplifier MMIC achieves small signal gain of over 21.6 dB and output power more than 46.11 dBm (40.83 W) in the entire band of 9 GHz to 10 GHz. Its power added efficiency (PAE) is 43.09% ~ 44.47% and the chip dimensions are 3.6 mm × 4.3 mm. The generated output power density is 2.69 W/mm². It seems that the developed AlGaN/GaN power amplifier MMIC could be applicable to various X-band radar systems operating X-band.

There is an X-band transmission system in KOMPSAT-2 in order to downlink the acquired image data in high speed. KOMPSAT-2 employs a steerable high gain X-band antenna for that purpose. During the ground test, the X-band RF radiation is so strong that it has to be controlled for safety, while spacecraft needs to keep flight configuration. Also in a launch site of which all test facilities are the subjects of strict radiation control, the antenna system should be tested again without any change in the configuration. To limit the actual radiation of RF power, an antenna hat was manufactured and thoroughly tested to demonstrate the spacecraft safety when using it.
