Digitizing Satellite Ground Station Tt&c Subsystems
نویسنده
چکیده
There are many advantages to implementing satellite ground station TT&C functions using digital LSI and VLSI technology: increased reliability, reduced size, weight and power and enhanced performance. The functions of a satellite ground control station that could be digitized in the future are identified. The evolving capabilities in digital chip technology are reviewed to indicate how they would be applied to satisfy these TT&C functions. Fundamental performance limitations of these technologies are also identified.

Cost and Performance Comparison of an Earth-Orbiting Optical Communication Relay Transceiver and a Ground-Based Optical Receiver Subnet
Optical communications can provide high-data-rate telemetry from deep-space probes with subsystems that have lower mass, consume less power, and are smaller than their radio frequency (RF) counterparts. However, because optical communication is more affected by weather than is RF communication, it requires groundstation site diversity to mitigate the adverse effects of inclement weather on the ...
متن کاملSpace-segment Timekeeping for next Generation Milsatcom
Though the level of precise timekeeping for military satellite communications (milsatcom) applications may not be as stringent as that required for satellite navigation, milsatcom poses its own unique timekeeping problems. For example, milsatcom timekeeping must be precise without putting an undue burden on a ground station? workload. Further, milsatcom timekeeping must be robust, with the abil...

A setup of satellite ranging based on phsical random sequence is demonstrated, which has absolute security in information transmission because of the random property of the physical sequence. Using true random sequence replacing pesudo random sequence, synchronization technology is vital important for transmitted information demodulation, despreading and decryption. Based on the pricinple of te...

متن کاملA Virtual Ground Station Based on Distributed Components for Satellite Communications
Communication with Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites requires the set up of a ground station which is a complex and costly installation. Moreover, a LEO satellite is accessible only during certain time slots from a given ground station. In other words, access to LEO satellites is on an intermittent basis and is constrained by the availability of ground stations. The work presented in this paper ...
