An S-Band Telemetry Receiver System for Deep Space Applications

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 15-17, 1974 / International Hotel, Los Angeles, CaliforniaTo receive the transmitted signals from the HELIOS space probe a S-band telemetry receiver system was built. Of this system the S-band telemetry receivers and the subcarrier demodulators are described. Measured values are presented. The S-band receiver includes a digitally implemented phase-locked-loop. Polarization tracking is possible in a two channel mode as well as in a single channel mode. In the subcarrier demodulator the subcarrier is demodulated before demodulating the RF-carrier. Good noise thresholds and low degradation is reached because remodulation is used in the subcarrier loop. The equipment works in a fully computer controlled station, this includes all aquisition procedures.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
