Finally, the article aims at ± 7.5% proportion bandwidth FM subcarrier channels that in common use in the military standard, introducing HSP50214/HSP50216 programmable downconverter in achievement of design and simulation result. The main problems in the design are discussed and a conclusion obtained.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 18-21, 2004 / Town & Country Resort, San Diego, California / Combined with an example of digital telemetry receiver design, this paper mainly discusses the application of software radio in telemetry receiver. The paper begins with an introduction of applying high efficiency digital filter and math analysis in quadrature digital frequency modulation and demodulation to digital frequency conversion technique. Next, Simulink/Matlab is used to simulate digital telemetry receiver. The method of simulation, analysis and calculation of performance and result of simulation are all available. In the end, the paper discusses digital telemetry receiver design and implement by making use of software radio technique, the circuits apply HSP50214 chip of Intersil Co., CPLD implements of Altera Co. and PC Bus. The sample is an expansion card for personal computer. Result of test, performance of the receiver and conclusion are given out, which show fine performance of receiver and can be apply to practice. The lever of this technology has reached first class in the world.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / This paper provides an overview of software radio and its current state in the industry. Software radio is a technology in which all of the waveform processing, including the physical layer, of a wireless device moves into software. If designed properly, this approach leads to dramatically improved device flexibility, software portability, and reduced development costs. Of course, such a technology brings with it numerous challenges, from hardware components to power constraints to the regulatory environment.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / With the purpose of testing the performance of GPS receivers, a GPS signal simulator is needed that can emulate the real GPS signals under all kinds of the conditions. This paper analyzes the single channel and multi-channel GPS signals’ characters in time domain and frequency domain, and discusses a mathematic model of the twelve-channel GPS simulator. In order to reduce the difficulties of the hardware design, this model is designed to provide the IF signal directly by applying the idea of “software radio”and the theory of interpolation. Simulation results with SystemView software demonstrate the feasibility of the system scheme. A practical hardware design of this system is described.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / A DSP modem is often designed as a set of processing blocks that replace the corresponding blocks of an analog prototype. Such a design is sub-optimal, inheriting legacy compromises made in the analog design while discarding important design options unique to the DSP domain. In part I of this two part paper, we used multirate processing to transform a digital down converter from an emulation of the standard analog architecture to a DSP based solution that reversed the order of frequency selection, filtering, and resampling. We continue this tack of embedding traditional processing tasks into multirate DSP solutions that perform multiple simultaneous processing tasks.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Digital signal processing has inexorably been woven into the fabric of every function performed in a modern radio communication system. In the rush to the marketplace, we have fielded many DSP designs based on analog prototype solutions containing legacy compromises appropriate for the technology of a time past. As we design the next generation radio we pause to examine and review past solutions to past radio problems. In this review we discover a number of DSP design methods and perspectives that lead to cost and performance advantages for use in the next generation radio.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / FPGAs are increasingly being employed for building real-time signal processing systems. They have been used extensively for implementing the PHY in software radio architectures. This paper provides a technology and market perspective on the use FPGAs for signal processing and demonstrates FPGA DSP using an adaptive channel equalizer case study.
