The model is simulated to operate in a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband constellation network. Its’ performance is analyzed and compared to the QPSK and the non-return to zero (NRZ) intensity modulation format for ISL distances of 1000 km to 6000 km. At a bit rate of 20 Gbps, the DP-QPSK and QPSK are observed to require a minimum transmitter laser power of 27 dBm at the maximum LEO OISL distance of 6000 km whereas the NRZ requires 37 dBm. The DP-QPSK is further observed to be the more spectral efficient modulation format of the three. Keeping to a bit-error rate (BER) of 10-9 and at a constant transmitter power of 30 dBm, the DP-QPSK and QPSK sustains the maximum LEO OISL distance whilst the NRZ supports a link distance of 2400 km. The modelled DP-QPSK system is then simulated for a bit rate of 40 Gbps. The system is observed to double the capacity of the QPSK at a constant symbol rate of 10 Gbaud.","PeriodicalId":378366,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Conference on Space Science and Communication (IconSpace)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121966129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selection data is based on available data from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) station from the year 2011 until 2015 which was the ascending solar cycle period in cycle 24. A feedforward neural network with a back propagation algorithm was proposed as a prediction model. The NN parameters were selected based on the TEC influence’s factor which were the seasonal variation, diurnal variation, and solar activity. The TEC value predicted by the NN model was evaluated using the GPS-TEC and compared to IRI01-corr TEC models result. The result shows the proposed NN model give less root mean square error (RMSE) against the IRI01-corr TEC models with the average RMSE approximately 3.58 TECU and 14.72 TECU respectively.

The MTM unit cell size is 8×8 mm2, and it is integrated on a Rogers RO4350B dielectric substrate. A high effective medium ratio (EMR) is obtained from this structure; the value of it is 15.63. The effective medium parameters were extracted using the Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) approach. To design the recommended MTM, various parametric studies have been done. Over a wide frequency range, the constructed structure has negative permittivity and also the negative refractive index. The obtained transmission coefficient (S21) resonance frequencies are 2.40, 4.18, 6.57, and 10.36 GHz, which covers S-, C-, and X- bands. Since the size of the designed cell is small, high EMR, desired resonance frequency, and the maximum band have been found; hence it can be used in Wi-Fi, IoT, and satellite applications.","PeriodicalId":378366,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Conference on Space Science and Communication (IconSpace)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131241508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate standard deviation models are required for prior simulation of the performance of the aircraft precision landing system. The multipath standard deviation of the pseudo-range errors model is used in GBAS for each satellite elevation angle. This standard model is generated by collecting the multipath conditions from airports. However, some airports have different characteristics of the multipath effects than the others, resulting in inaccurate error models when applied to the GBAS operations. Therefore, in this work, we study and analyze a 1-dimensional curve-fitted model for the multipath error models at three GNSS stations near the Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Thailand. The results show that in the case that the multipath errors are distributed equally at each azimuth angle, the RMSEs are reduced from 0.1 to 0.02 meters near the 90-degree elevation angle and less than 0.05 meters at other degrees. For the AER1 station, located on the airport runway, in which the multipath errors are not distributed equally at each azimuth, the maximum RMSE, is less than 0.08 meters when compared with 0.14 meters from the GBAS model.","PeriodicalId":378366,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Conference on Space Science and Communication (IconSpace)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115274008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new mathematical method has been used for calculating the highest and lowest Land Surface Temperature (LST) to improve model accuracy for a particular location and detect oil seep-induced alteration from Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM). Two sites within different patterns were chosen to represent a diversity of thermal anomalies positions in the study area.

Two types of lenses such as hyperbolic and SLC shaped lens are designed to determine the suitable feed positions for multi beam operations. As a result, multi beam radiation patterns are obtained and validated through electromagnetic simulation to demonstrate the adequateness of feed positions. Feed position of SLC shaped lens is more accurate for multi beam performance due to lower total reduction in gain approximately 2.72 dBi and antenna efficiency of about 68.39% are achieved.","PeriodicalId":378366,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Conference on Space Science and Communication (IconSpace)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126364009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
