Abstract

Multi-Platform Image and Intelligence Common data link(MPI-CDL) systems are designed to transmit the imaginary and signal intelligence data at an aeronautical to ground line of sight(LOS) link. This paper proposes a method to predict a link availability and analyzes the required link margin to satisfy a given link availability for MPI-CDL systems. To estimate a link availability the proposed method applies the conditional probability so that both a rain attenuation and a multipath fading are considered simultaneously. Link margins to meet the link availability for MPI-CDL systems are calculated according to an operating environment including frequencies, flight altitudes and transmission ranges. The required link margins for actual unmanned air vehicle systems are also given by simulation results.

본 논문은 공지(Aeronautical to Ground) 통신 환경에서 장거리용 공용 데이터링크로 개발되는 다중플랫폼 영상 정보용 공용 데이터링크(MPI-CDL : Multi-Platform Image & Intelligence Common Data Link)의 링크 가용도 분석 방법을 제안하고 링크 가용도를 만족하기 위해 필요한 링크마진을 분석한다. 제안된 링크 가용도 분석 방법은 강우감쇄와 다중경로 페이딩 분석모델을 하나의 조건부 확률로 변환함으로써 강우감쇄와 다중경로 페이딩을 함께 고려하여 링크 가용도를 분석할 수 있다. 영상정보용 공용 데이터링크의 주파수, 운용 고도, 통달거리에 따른 링크 가용도를 만족하기 위한 링크마진을 분석하고 실제 영상정보용 데이터링크가 적용되는 무인항공기의 운용환경을 고려한 링크마진 분석결과를 제시한다.
