International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / This paper summarize range error caused by instability of transmission characteristics and change of signal frequency and amplitude. On the basis of transmission system's modulation-demodulation combined characteristic, amplitude-frequency characteristics even symmetry, phase-frequency characteristics odd symmetry, phase orthogonality of demodulator, author analyses influence of factors on range accuracy. And formulas of phase of ranging tone are derived. Using these formulas, the many factors having influence on drift range error may be calculated, and range accuracy can be improved. Above conclusion has been testfied and applied in TT&C system for years.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 2001 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / In response to a NASDA decision to upgrade their satellite ground network (GN) to provide worldwide coverage as well as interoperability with other agencies, MELCO has assembled remote ground stations that include the L-3 Communications Telemetry & Instrumentation (L-3 T&I) NETstar 20001 TT&C system. Software developed by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (MELCO) controls a variety of COTS products in the remote stations, including the L-3 T&I system. L-3 T&I’s TT&C system provides modem services, high accuracy ranging, Doppler compensation, command verification, and CCSDS protocol processing for a wide range of LEO/MEO/GEO satellites.

ITC/USA 2008 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Fourth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 27-30, 2008 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / The need for sophisticated tools in the expanding areas of Telemetry, Tracking and Control/Command (TT&C) and Communications (COMMS) system simulation, development, verification, analysis, maintenance, debug, and education is well understood. Emerging requirements for these toolsets include features, ease-of-use, performance, and price points that specifically address telemetry and signals work. And, while not yet as available, understood, or pervasively installed, these economical and focused tools are displacing high-cost, general-purpose Test and Measurement (T&M) equipment at an increasing rate.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1998 / Town & Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / Designed for unattended 24 hours-a-day operation in automatic system environments, the 3801 TT&C Digital Processor Unit is the key communication unit for ground stations operating spacecraft, from integration to positioning phase and in-orbit operation. Its architecture and technology concept combine high performance, compactness and modularity. The 3801 TT&C Digital Processor Unit supports multiple formats in a single stand-alone chassis, and incorporates extensive interfacing and functional provisions to maximize effectiveness, reliability and dependability. It supports a number of configurations for satellite control applications and performs :* • Telemetry IF demodulation and transmission of data to a high-level communication interface, with time tagging and display of decommutated parameters, • Command generation, with FSK or PSK and FM or PM modulation at 70 MHz, • Ranging measurements and calibration using ESA, INTELSAT and major standards (tones and codes). In addition, the 3801 TT&C Digital Processor supports a Synchronous Command Generator for spinning satellite in a single stand-alone chassis and includes : • FM signal discrimination, for satellite spin reference information coming from the Telemetry Reception channel, • Synchronization Controller for providing the reference « top » for the transmission of the synchronous tones, • Tones Generation of frequency tones towards the PM/FM Modulator.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper describes technical problems in system integration, Intermodulatin interference, digitalization, obital accuracy, low-noise design of the new generation TT&C system as well as their solutions.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The SKYBRIDGE constellation will establish telecommunication and TTC links in Kuband, without any exclusive allocation of spectrum: jamming avoidance techniques are used in order to protect the geostationary satellites and associated ground stations that work in the same band. This paper presents the studies that have been carried out at system level.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / As Mobile Satellite Communication Systems (MSCS), such as INMARSAT, Iridium, Globalstar, ICO, et al, are emerging, the feasibility analysis of MSCS using for spacecraft TT&C data transmission have been studied by many space agencies and scientists. In this paper, the usability of MSCS’s low data transmission for modern spacecraft is analyzed. The availability of existing and near future MSCS are reviewed briefly in terms of orbital coverage, data transmission rate, EIRP, adaptability and so on. The special problems to be resolved are discussed such as compensation for high Doppler frequency shift, provision of user spacecraft EIRP, antenna beams steering of user spacecraft, use of advanced modulation scheme.

ITC/USA 2015 Conference Proceedings / The Fifty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 26-29, 2015 / Bally's Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV / This paper describes the methodology and the results of the interferences analysis that the JASON3 spacecraft has to deal with, as part of the PROTEUS platform series, sharing frequencies, modulation schemes and ground network.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / CCSDS Space Link Extension (SLE) Services enable the ground segment assets of space agencies to interoperate, allowing for ground stations and space data users to interact without the need for ad hoc, complicated gateways designed specifically for each new mission. Their goal is to reduce the development, management, and operational costs of providing cross support between space organizations for exchange of tracking, telemetry, and command (TT&C) data. SLE services are actively supporting over a dozen spacecraft, with many more planned over the next few years. This paper first presents an overview of the underlying SLE architecture, as defined in the SLE Reference Model. The SLE data transfer services, which move data between mission facilities and ground stations are defined, along with the management services that enable missions to make requests for ground station services. Next, up-to-date status of the testing, prototyping, and implementation of SLE services over the past few years is presented, as well as plans for adoption of SLE services by a number of space networks and space mission organizations. Finally, efforts to adapt SLE services to support legacy missions are briefly described.
