System-Level Electromagnetic Environment Verification Method of Satellites

Satellites experience a variety of electromagnetic environments, from launch to orbital operation, making it is necessary to verify that satellites can properly operate in these environments. Currently, many satellites. such as optical satellites, radar satellites, communication satellites, and navigation satellites. are being developed in Korea, and based on this development trend, electromagnetic environment verification technology for satellite systems is becoming increasingly important. In this study, we describe a method for verifying the electromagnetic environment at the satellite system level. The purpose, requirements, methods, and considerations of each item are introduced for the EMC test, RF auto-compatibility test, LV RF compatibility test, and electrostatic discharge analysis. It is expected that the proposed method for verifying the electromagnetic environment at the satellite system level can be used in the verification of satellites under development in Korea.
