TDMA Satellite Onboard Switching Center Electronics

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / November 19-21, 1979 / Town and Country Hotel, San Diego, CaliforniaThe introduction of TDMA into satellite communications links increases the complexity of satellite onboard communications path routing circuitry. This paper discusses two different design approaches to the control electronics of an onboard TDMA satellite switching center. One approach uses custom large-scale integrated (LSI) circuitry; the other is microprocessor based. The two designs are compared, and an optimal hardware configuration is developed.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
