Este artigo apresenta a realização de um sistema de antena simples para comunicação via satélite de veículos terrestres que é testado em experimentos conduzidos no Engineering Test Satellite-VIII (ETS-VIII). O sistema de antena desenvolvido que foi montado no teto de um veículo é compacto, leve e de operação simples de rastreamento por satélite. Para realizar antenas compactas, um divisor de potência integrado e um circuito de comutação para controle de alimentação da antena são montados sob o conjunto de antenas. Um módulo de Sistema de Posicionamento Global (GPS) é usado para fornecer informações precisas sobre a posição e rumo do veículo durante a viagem. Um computador pessoal (PC) é utilizado como unidade de controle e registrador de dados, que foi projetado especificamente para esta aplicação, permitindo o controle do circuito de comutação, bem como a recuperação dos níveis de potência recebidos e taxa de erro. Os testes de campo relatados neste artigo abordam principalmente o desempenho de rastreamento do sistema de antena proposto. Resultados satisfatórios foram obtidos. Foram confirmados bons níveis de potência recebida e taxa de erro de bit (BER) para rastreamento do satélite ETS-VIII. Além disso, para compreender os fatores ambientais que impactam a qualidade das comunicações dos veículos terrestres, capturamos cuidadosamente dados em obstáculos como edifícios, folhagens, postes de serviços públicos e viadutos rodoviários. Os resultados mostraram bloqueio e o sombreamento foi confirmado. Além disso, quando a antena foi testada na estrada inclinada para características simples de propagação na direção de elevação, foi obtida uma recepção estável dos sinais do satélite.

In order to realize compact antennas, an onboard-power divider and switching circuit for antenna feeding control are mounted under the array antenna.

A personal computer (PC) is used as the control unit and data logger, which was specifically designed for this application, allow the switching circuit control as well as the retrieving of the received power levels and error rate. The field tests reported in this paper mainly address the tracking performance of the proposed antenna system. Satisfactory results were obtained. Good received power levels and bit error rate (BER) for tracking the ETS-VIII satellite were confirmed. Furthermore, in order to grasp the environmental factors that impact the quality of land vehicle communications, we carefully captured data at obstacles such as buildings, foliages, utility poles and highway overpasses. The results showed blockage and shadowing was confirmed. Additionally, when the antenna was tested at the inclined-road for simple propagation characteristics in elevation direction, stable reception of the satellite signals was realized.
