Integrated Wideband Spectral Management / Satellite Receiver Modem

Software-Defined Radio (SDR) based receivers are capable of monitoring DOD communication systems by providing advanced multiband terminals capable of processing very high bandwidth signals. A primary objective of the SDR receiver is to coherently process direct RF sampled or direct reception input signals in real time without suffering a loss in the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) that adversely affects the systems"ability to meet critical wideband and coherent reception requirements of the present day DOD communication systems. In addition, a goal of the SDR is to develop a repeatable, deployable system that integrates innovations that reduce system complexity and/or cost and that improve usability.
