Abstract:
Disclosed is a satellite performance monitoring system. The satellite performance monitoring system may include a satellite communication controlling apparatus that is installed outdoors to transmit a test signal for measuring a performance of a satellite transponder to the satellite transponder and thereby receive a test response signal from the satellite transponder, and to transmit a reference signal to the satellite transponder and thereby receive a reference response signal from the satellite transponder; and a satellite performance monitoring apparatus that is installed indoors to generate the test signal and the reference signal, to generate a frequency response characteristic with respect to the satellite transponder using the test response signal, to compute a signal change amount occurring due to a weather condition using the reference signal and the reference response signal, and to apply the computed signal change amount to the frequency response characteristic.
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus for controlling a switch of a satellite transponder for multibeam communication, and a method thereof. The apparatus and method can increase output efficiency of communicated satellite electric wave signals and reuse frequencies in one-to-one earth station communication or a one-to-multi earth station communication. The apparatus includes: an earth control station interfacing block for receiving and processing commands from an earth control station, collecting operation states of the switch controlling apparatus and reporting them to the earth control station; a reference frequency generating block for generating a reference clock needed to operate the switch controlling apparatus and generating a reference frequency based on the reference clock; and a switch controlling block for reading contents of a memory storing a switching sequence periodically, detecting and correcting errors of the contents to generate a switch control signal, and transmitting the signal to a radio frequency switch.
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and a method for monitoring a status of a satellite transponder using a statistical analysis of telemetry data, which may disclose a configuration to receive at least one of an input signal level and an output signal level with respect to a satellite transponder, to receive telemetry data with respect to the satellite transponder, and to statistically analyze the telemetry data based on the at least one of the input signal level and the output signal level.
Abstract:
Provided are a beacon signal generating apparatus and a phase synchronizing apparatus using the same for establishing a phase synchronization while tracking a phase variation of a Timing Source Oscillator (TSO) of a satellite using a simpler scheme at an earth station, in making a phase synchronization between a clock signal of an On board Switch (OBS) embedded in the satellite and that of the earth station in a Satellite Switched Time Division Multiple Access (SS-TDMA) satellite communication system. The inventive beacon signal generating apparatus embedded in a satellite comprises a frequency oscillator for creating a TSO frequency, a beacon signal generator for multiplying the TSO frequency to be matched with a beacon signal frequency to generate a beacon signal synchronized with the TSO frequency, and a transmitter for transmitting the beacon signal to each of earth stations to recovery a frequency synchronized with the TSO frequency.
