Spectrum receiver and signal selection unit designs for the Naval Postgraduate School SATCOM signal analyzer
spectrumreceiver00ohls.pdf (3.122Mb)Abstract
The design and construction of a Signal Selection Unit
and four Spectrum Receivers for use in the Naval Postgraduate
School's SATCOM Signal Analyzer are presented. The purpose
of the SATCOM Signal Analyzer is to provide high-speed spectrum
analysis and characterization of the outputs of UHF
communication satellite transponders in orbit. It is constructed
around a PDP-11/34 minicomputer which provides the
necessary control for most of the equipment of the system.
Extremely accurate frequency measurement is provided by the
frequency receivers and signals for multi-channel spectrum
analyses are provided by the Spectrum Receivers. The Signal
Selection Unit routes signals to the Spectrum, AM/FM, and
Frequency Receivers. This report documents the design and
development of the Spectrum Receivers and the Signal Selection Unit.
