An on‐board burst‐mode modem for coherent processing of a QPSK signal at 120 Mb/s is realized with small, low mass and low power consumption. This paper presents the hardware configuration and the various measured test data including physical characteristics. The overall performance through an earth station modem is also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
