The receiver accepts a nominal 10 MHz IF input and processes the signal using digital signal processing techniques. Fast Fourier transforms are used to locate the carrier within 0.5 Hz. The outputs of the receiver include the frequency and the power of the carrier.ix, 115 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1990.R869Earth stations (Satellite telecommunication) -- ResearchParallel processing (Electronic computers) -- DesignSignal processing -- Digital techniquesParallel processor architecture for a digital beacon receiverThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-03042009-040951/
