Digital Signal Processing for Satellite Communications
Bradford Watson - Watch Now - DSP Online Conference 2024 - Duration: 01:20:22
Communications satellites are a booming business, and are increasingly using sophisticated DSP techniques to manage bandwidth for users distributed over wide geographic areas. There are several flavors of satellite communications, that include transponded and regenerative digital payloads for commercial and military platforms.
This talk gives an overview of the market, the end-to-end system level view, the actual digital processing that takes place onboard a satellite, specifications, and challenges of designing systems for spaceflight.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
I've found your books very useful as well, especially Streamlining Digital Signal Processing.
Thanks so much for giving this talk, it was great to listen to.
Many years ago, I worked on ground segment gateway software for a geo-stationary satellite telephony system (which I believe is still in use primarily for radio applications in hard-to-reach places). My software was pretty far downstream from the signal processing - call setup processing and authentication checks, and things like that. Now, in a completely different industry, I'm getting to work a little DSP, and seeing your presentation from those perspectives was really enjoyable.

Thanks for listening! It's an interesting subject, and enjoyable to present. I appreciate your comment.
The Q&A may be boring. Each time a question came to mind, it was then addressed within the presentation. Excellent job! Thank you!
Not boring at all! I had a lot of good engagement. Thanks for listening!
Hello Bradford. Very informative and professional presentation. Thank you so much.
