International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1987 / Town and Country Hotel, San Diego, California / The three axis stabilized Indian Remote Sensing Satellite will image the earth from a 904 Km polar - sun synchronous orbit. The payload is a set of CCD cameras which collect data in four bands visible and near infra-red region. This payload data from two cameras, each at 10.4 megabits per sec is transmitted in a balanced QPSK in X Band. The payload data before transmission is formatted by adopting Major and Minor frame synchronizing codes. The formatted two streams of data are differentially encoded to take care of 4-phase ambiguity due to QPSK transmission. This paper describes the design and development aspects related to such a Data Handling System. It also highlights the environmental qualification tests that were carried out to meet the requirement of three years operational life of the satellite.

Today, medical implants such as cardiac pacemakers, neurostimulators, hearing aids anddrug delivery systems are increasinglymore important and frequently used in the health caresystem. This type of devices have historically used inductive coupling as communicationmedium. Newdemands on accessibility and increased performance in technology drives newresearch toward using radio communications. The FCCMICS radio standard are specificallydevoted for implantable devices.Basically all published research on transmitters in this area are using frequency shift keying(FSK) modulation. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the viability of using phase shiftkeying (PSK) modulation in ultra low power transmitters and suggest suitable architectures.

This work is dealing with the design of intermediate part of transmitter and reciever that use digital BPSK and QPSK modulations for microwave link that works in 24 – 26 GHz bands. Besides choosing the suitable modulator and demodulator there was need to provide proper connection of this part with transceiver Nortel CTR26-01M. Input and output of this intermediate part was take out to baseband, where was need to ensure the transfer of diferential inputs of modulator and demodulator to symetric leading for reason of data communication with PC, for which was created the algorithms to provide transmitting and receiving data. Complete structure controlled by the microcontroller has been enliven and furthemore there was created the measurement of chosen parameteres.
