International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / This paper presents one new type CDMA multi-signal receiving protocol, which is suitable for satellite mobile communication systems. Then it gives the principle analysis and describes the realization of this protocol. Meanwhile, it gives the software protocol implementation scheme. From the long point of view, it will more increase the system flexibility, which is easier to update; and will solve the interoperability and integration application problems. Finally, the simulation results conclude that software implementation of CDMA multi-signal receiving in satellite mobile communication system is feasible, and it may be used in other wireless communication systems.

Software defined radio (SDR) is a rapidly developing field enabled by continuing improvements in digital electronics. Software defined radio has been used extensively in communication systems due to its flexibility and cost effectiveness. Recently, SDR has been incorporated into radar systems, particularly for ionospheric research. This study investigated the benefits and design of a high frequency (HF) SDR receiver for the next generation of Super Dual Auroral Network (SuperDARN) radars. This work analyzed digital beamforming and waveform design approaches that would be enabled by the adoption of a SDR based radar design and found that these techniques could improve the performance of SuperDARN radars. This work also developed a prototype receiver to demonstrate the feasibility of a SDR based SuperDARN radar. The hardware selection for this receiver leveraged low-cost commercial off-the-shelf software defined radios and amplifier designs supplemented by custom filters. The software implementation utilized GNU Radio, an open source SDR and signal processing platform, to process and record receiver data. A prototype was successfully designed and constructed using the Red Pitaya software defined radio. This prototype included a 4 channel receiver which was evaluated in the laboratory setting and tested at the Blackstone, Virginia radar site. A comparison of results from the prototype receiver and the existing hardware showed promise for the use of this platform in future ionospheric research. / M.S. / Software defined radio (SDR) is a rapidly developing field which uses software to perform radio signal processing traditionally accomplished by hardware components.
