EMWIN-N S/W Receiver IntroductionEMWIN-N S/W Receiver Introduction
• S/W Demodulation, Bit-Synchronization
• CCSDS Concatenated R-S + Convolution, Bitstream Service
• Signal must be acquired for coding gain to apply
• EMWIN-N Reduced TX Power Performance Goals – 3 dB Margin with 1 meter antenna @ 5 degree elevation
– BER 10-6 @ 5 degree elevation
• Implementation Goals– Support EMWIN-I Series FSK & EMWIN-N Series BPSK
– S/W Loading < 25% CPU (1 GHz P4)
– Re-use Antenna & RF components
– Additional H/W costs < $300
• Current Test Results– 4.5 dB Margin with 1 meter antenna @ 5 degree elevation achievable
– Link Margin enough to support transition to 2x data rate & QPSK

Ongoing Efforts Ongoing Efforts
• De-Couple RX layer from Coding layer •Allows use of RX function only, or decoder only
•Provide example application that interfaces with the EMWIN S/W RX• Example S/W that allows users/vendors to build on-top of S/W RX• Control and monitor examples, indicates receiver performance• Available in 1-2 Weeks
•Modify EMWIN S/W RX to allow use with “lower performance” Sound Cards• Use both L & R channels• Minimal (< $15 in components) changes to IF Adapter H/W design • I&Q Recombination in S/W
•Higher data rate options• QPSK• CCSDS Turbo Convolution Codes• Low Density Parity Check
