“…Multi-standard and adaptive communication systems can be implemented in easily using software-defined radio (SDR) techniques. It consists in that must of signal processing is performed in the digital domain by an appropriate digital signal processing (DSP) device [302]. An SDR platform consists of a hardware radio frequency (RF) front-end and a DSP unit implemented in signal processors, field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), or GPUs.…”

Satellite communications (SatComs) have recently entered a period of renewed interest motivated by technological advances and nurtured through private investment and ventures. The present survey aims at capturing the state of the art in SatComs, while highlighting the most promising open research topics. Firstly, the main innovation drivers are motivated, such as new constellation types, on-board processing capabilities, nonterrestrial networks and space-based data collection/processing. Secondly, the most promising applications are described i.e. 5G integration, space communications, Earth observation, aeronautical and maritime tracking and communication. Subsequently, an in-depth literature review is provided across five axes: i) system aspects, ii) air interface, iii) medium access, iv) networking, v) testbeds & prototyping. Finally, a number of future challenges and the respective open research topics are described.

“…In papers dealing directly with low-cost solutions, like [3, 4], authors focus mainly on the problem how to design hardware capable of adaptation, with no propositions of adaptation mechanism and no analysis of its cons and pros. For these reasons, in [5] we proposed a system intended for providing an adaptive communication between a small, low cost, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite and a ground station (GS). The laboratory model of the system was set up using the transmitter operating as a LEO satellite, the satellite channel simulator, and the receiver representing a ground station, described in details in [6].…”

The paper is related to an adaptive satellite communication system for data transmission from small, low cost, low Earth orbit satellites. Tests run in a set-up consisting of a number of software-defined radio (SDR) modules operating as a satellite, a ground station, and a satellite channel simulator, have shown that by changing modulation scheme and code rate one can obtain increase of amount of data which can be downloaded from a satellite during a single pass over a ground station approximately by a factor of 2. To determine data rates obtainable in an SDR system using a common personal computer as a digital signal processing device, execution times of particular processing steps involved in the reception process were measured.
