Unified Processing Structure for Communication and Navigation signals in modems for lightweight satellite stations

Abstract

The present article shows the design and test of a unified-processing device for detection and demodulation of narrowand broadband communication signals, as well as navigation signals from GLONASS and GPS systems. The specificprocessing for each type of signal is described within the general framework of the proposed device. Performanceindicators, such as symbol error probability (SEP) and energy losses, were computed using simulations of the deviceand the corresponding results are presented for discussion.
