본 논문에서는 IMT-2000 수신주파수인 2.13~2.16 GHz 대역에서 초고주파용 수신장치로 사용되는 저잡음증폭기를 ㅈㄱ렬 피드백 기법과 저항결합회로를 이용하여 구현하였다. GaAs FET(Field Effect Transistor)의 소스단에 부가한 직렬 피드백은 저잡음증폭기의 저잡음특성과 입력반사계수가 작아졌으며, 또 저잡음증폭기의 안정도도 개선되었다. 저항결합회로는 반사되는 전력이 정합 회로내의 저항에서 소모되므로 입력단정합이 용이하였다. 저잡음증폭기의 저잡음증폭단은 GaAs FET인 ATF-10136, 고득증폭단은 내부정합된 MMIC인 VNA-25를 사용하였으며, 알루미늄 기구물 안에 유전율 3.5인테프론 기판에 초고주파회로와 자기바이어스 회로를 함께 장착시켰다. 이렇게 제작된 저잡음증폭기는 30 dB이상의 이득, 0.7dB 이하의 잡음지수, 17 dB의 Pldb, 1.5 이하의 입출력 정재파비를 얻었다.

DGPS/Radio beacons are currently being planned or installed in many countries. They offer a cost-effective way of distributing differential data to large number of users. These networks are also being deployed in South Korea, Japan, and China. Several DGPS stations among them are operating on the same frequencies. The DGPS signal based on a radio beacon in medium frequency band travels principally as a groundwave over the surface of the earth. The signal may also be received as skywaves at locations beyond about 100 km from the reference station. These skywaves interfere with groundwave signals due to fading. This factor has generally ignored in designing DGPS/Radio beacon systems. A further important factor is to reduce the coverage due to interference from other beacons on the same or adjacent frequencies. The desired signal may fade due to interaction between its skywave and groundwave components. It may degrade the accuracy of the positioning in a complex fashion. This paper estimates the coverage of Far East Asia DGPS stations which are operating on the same frequencies, which is based on the signal protection ratio and interference of the signal strength of the groundwave and skywave.

When the GPS system was come to the operation, the U.S Coast Guard initiated development of differential GPS system based on a marine radiobeacon. It has rapidly been spread out to many countries. DGPS equals to P(Y) code in a positioning accuracy. USA has recently determined to expand the coverage of DGPS to inland in order to install a nationwide DGPS chain. Korea is under processing for improving the DGPS as a nationwide positioning system. Before expanding the service area inside Korea, we need to verify the relation between the field strength and DGPS accuracy for the service area. The Japanese DGPS data is received in the southern Part of the Korean peninsula. The Korean DGPS was not a complete system, so we selected the Japanese DGPS data as a model for the study. This paper investigate accuracy and reliability characteristics of RBN/DGPS over the effective service area. Through the experimental and simulation study, we obtained the reliable and stable positioning accuracy in the southern part of the Korean peninsula. In addition, the characteristics of RBN/DGPS were examined in the land over the effective coverage from Japan. The results would be a basic reference to research the RBN/NDGPS in Korea.

This paper is concerned with the experimental analysis of EOW(End-of-Week) rollover. The GPS EOW Rollover happens every 20 years. Because GPS time, counted in weeks, started counting Jan. 6, 1980, the GPS week will rollover from week 1023 to 0000 at midnight between Aug. 21 and 22. This is significant because it is the first EOW rollover since the GPS constellation was established and it could be interpreted as an invalid date in receivers that were not designed to meet GPS specification. We analyzed GPS data of the noncompliant receivers and the compliant receiver. It was concluded that all receivers had not serious problems during or after the rollover.

It is being more and more difficult to suppress emissions from electronic products using PCB(Printed Circuit Board) to the limit. Therefore, the exact evaluation of the emission from PCB has been more important to reduce the required time and the cost at the design phase of the products, especially on board ship's equipments. This research has evaluated the emission radiated from PCB based on the theoretical approach of SDA(Spectral Domain Analysis), which is available to analyze microwave stripline, coplanar line, patch antenna, etc. According to the theoretical results, it has been clearly shown that the emission radiated from PCB is reduced as the thickness of PCB is thinner, the permittivity of PCB is higher, the length of stripline is shorter, and the frequency is lower.

The Japanese DGPS Data can be received easily in the area of the Korean peninsula and some Korean users may use these data. However, its analysis has not been actually investigated. This paper is a study on accuracy analysis of Japanese Marine Radiobeacon/ DGPS in the South Coast of Korea. The 3 Japanese DGPS stations, Wakamiya(295 kHz), Ose Saki(302 kHz) and Hamada(305 kHz), near the Korean peninsula were analyzed by several ways. It was concluded that the feasible result of the experimental study with an error range of no more 10 m in 2 DRMS.

The fundamental objectives of vessel traffic services (VTS) are the safety of traffic, efficient traffic flow and the protection of marine environment. And the coverge of VTS is used to be within the port and their approaches. It , however, is tend to expand the coverge beyond the radar coverage and the vessel carrying dangerous cargo. Therefore this study aims to investigate the international tendancy of the extended VTS system, and take a field test of using KOREASAT for the extended VTS system in Korean coastal waters. As the results of the test, KOREASAT is proved to be one of the alternatives for extended VTS system.

Radiobeacons that carry corrections for global satellite navigation systems are currently being planned or installed in many countries. In early 1996, it was begun to send DGPS correction message from a marine radiobeacon station located in Changgi Got Lighthouse. It was the first test broadcast of DGPS correction data based on medium frequency of marine radiobeacon where transmission power and rate are 300W and 100bps respectively in Korea. However, there has not been any scientific study on the characteristic of the accuracy of a marine radiobeacon/DGPS. Accordingly, this paper investigates the accuracy of the system, which is currently operating in 310kHz. To do this , the real time differential correction in RTCM data was collected in an implemented system. And then the accuracy was analyzed related to the coverge of the radiobeacon/DGPS. As a result, it is verified that the differential positioning accuracy using the marine radiobeacon is sufficient to ensure the safety of marine activities around the coast of Korea.

With the rapid advance of electronic equipments and the frequent, use of them, the electromagnetic environments including EMC or EMI problems are very complicated. The radiation of electromagnetic waves from electronic equipments has strictly been controlled by the authorities concerned from many years ago. Though it is the most proper to test EMI or EMC in the open area test site, we have used the anechoic chamber in place of the test site because of its various restrictions. To achieve the purpose, in this paper, the performances of a few anechoic chambers according to absorbing materials are analyzed for horizontal and vertical polarizations respectively. Furthermore, the calculated and the measured site attenuations in semi-anechoic chamber made with ferrite grid are compared. The obtained results are to be valuable for designing an anechoic chamber.

The accuracy for determining fishing ground and for setting fishing gear location, and the repeatability of ship position vary depending on fishing methods. Especially, Loran-C has been served to give fisherman highly accurate ship's position, and a number of fishing vessel are equipped with it's receivers. In this paper, in order to evaluate the accuracy of Loran-C fix of Korean chain in Korean southeast coast, the authors examined and analyzed the data of the receiver of Loran-C(LC 90, Furuno) and GPS(AccNav SportTM, Eagle) measured automatically and continuously for 2 seconds at interval of 5minutes during 2hours from 11th to 21st, July, 1996 at six observed points, that is, Pusan, Wolnae, Pangojin, Chongja, Kampo and Kuryongpo in Korean southeast coast. As the result obtained, Loran-C signals showed little fluctuation with good reprodutibility. Good stability of Loran-C signals was indicated by the small value of the standard deviation 0.064~0.094μ s. Although determination of the observed position could not be completely accurate, the extent of the error was estimated smaller than 0.35 nautical mile.

The method of Electromagnetic Wave Immunity Test is continuously endeavored by IEC and CISPR as international unification, but it has not been established yet. The main reason is why it is difficult to obtain the measurement method and normalization of threshold to find out the complicated parameters for Electromagnetic Wave immunity Test. So far, thus, the Electromagnetic Wave Immunity Test is carried out case by case as the electromagnetic environment, which is set up Electromagnetic Wave Immunity Test. This study has developed an algorithm and measurement software suitable for IEC1000-4 Regulations, where a ready-made Amplifier, and Signal Generator have been used and an interconnecting Interface Board has been constructed for connecting with the other apparatuses, i.e., RF Switch, Power Meter, Field Sensor, Pre-Amp., etc. Therefore, we have achieved the aim to develop an automated software using OOP method and the measurement system.

As a method of measure the absorbing characteristics of microwave absorber, the various microwave measuring method can be used fundamentally. There is, however, a big problem in measuring errors, since the wavelength of microwave such as used for radar is very short. Therefore, this research aimed to design and fabricate a converting adaptor of 20mmΦ coaxial tube from a Type-N connector to 20mmΦ coaxial tube and to use it for evaluating absorption characteristics of microwave absorber. Furthermore, the measurements of absorbing characteristics and material constants have been performed and review, which were carried out by using the coaxial tube and by using rectangular waveguide, respective. As a result, the validity of the proposed measuring method has been confirmed.

The coaxial sample holder with 20mm in diameter and the adaptor from type N connector-to-20mmΦ coaxial tube are designed and manufactured which have been used for designing and measuring the fabricated microwave absorber. In addition, the measure in method of material constants of the microwave absorbers is described, which is focused on minimizing the error due to the sample's shapes, the fitting conditions, etc. After describing the design method of a single-layed microwave absorber, the microwave absorbers for X-band, C-band and S-band RADARs are designed and fabricated, respectively, which are composed of ferrite, carborn, and binder and have good performance. Futhermore, we develop the high performance microwave absorber in extremely wide-band type for RADAR, which is composed of different material and its mixing ratio and which could cover nearly from 4 to 10 GHz.

The Radio Navigation System(R. N. S.) has been progressed consistantly with the development of electric-electronic engineering techniques since the R. D. E had been developed in 1910. The R. N. S. mostly depends on either Hyperbolic Navigation System(H. N. S.) or Spherical Navigation System(S. N. S.) in the ocean, and on Rectangular Navigation System (R. N. S.) in the air near the airport or an a combinations of the above systems in both area. Another effective R. N. S may be the Ellipse-Hyperbola Navigation System(E-H N. S.), which is proposed and named such in this paper. The equations calculating GDOP are derived and the GDOP values are calculated in the case of H. N. S., S. N. S, and E-H. N. S., respectively, for the specified case that four transmitting stations are arranged on the apex of a square, Then the GDOP diagrams of above navigation systems are presented for qualitative comparison in this paper. To measure the distances from the receiver to the stations in S. N. S., and/or the sum of distances to two stations in E-H N. S., the time synchronization between the transmitter clocks and the receiver clock is a major premise. The author has proposed the algorithm for getting this synchronmization utilizing the by S. N. S. or E-H N. S while GDOPs of those are relatively good. Even though clock synchronization error is a voidable due to the fix error used, the simulated results shows that the position accuracy of S. N. S. and E-H N. S. by the proposed method is far upgraded compared with that determined by H. N. S. directly, as far as the outer region of transmitter arrangement is concerned.
