Multi-purpose single chassis SGLS receiver/processor
Abstract
A multipurpose single chassis earth terminal receiver/processor (R/P) which provides and supports tracking, telemetry, and commanding services for space vehicles is described. The space-ground-link system contains uplinks in the 1.76-1.84 GHz range and downlinks in the 2.2-2.3 GHz range which are both S-band spectra signals. The ranging and antenna tracking services available for space vehicles, and the parameter control capabilities of the R/P are examined. The microprocessor, oscillator, and converter hardware which produces a highly reliable and versatile terminal R/P are analyzed.
