Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / Full text to be digitised and attached to bibliographic record. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The increase in the complexity and functionality of new satellites leads to a
growing demand for a digital communication system operating at a much higher bit
rate than before. The main purpose of this thesis is to address precisely this
problem.
The theory as well as a practical high speed system are custom-developed. The
goal of this thesis is not to reinvent the wheel, but to use off-the-shelf products as far
as possible. This system demonstrates that a very high data rate is not out of reach
for a developer with limited funds.
The secondary goal is to understand the operation of this communication system.
The emphasis is on the inaccuracies in the system. A design tool is created to act as
a vehicle for understanding the influence of a single variable on the performance of
the entire system. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die toename in die kompleksiteit en funksionaliteit van nuwe satelliete lei tot die
groeiende behoefte aan 'n digitale kommunikasiestelsel wat teen "n heelwat hoër bis
spoed funksioneer. Die hoofdoel van hierdie tesis is om juis hierdie probleem aan te
spreek.
Die teorie en 'n praktiese hoëspoed stelsel is ontwikkel. Die doel van die tesis is
nie om die wiel te herontdek nie maar om sover moontlik bestaande produkte in die
ontwerp van die stelsel te gebruik. Die stelsel demonstreer dat 'n hoëspoed
datatempo nie buite die bereik van 'n ontwikkelaar met beperkte fondse is nie.
'n Verdere doelwit is om die funksionering van die kommunikasie stelsel te begryp.
Klem is gelê op die onakkuraathede in die kommunikasiestelsel. Ontwikkeling
sagteware is geskep as "n metode om die invloed van "n enkele veranderlike op die
werkverrigting van die stelsel as geheel te begryp.
