Telemetry & Telecommand Baseband Equipment
Celestia Antwerp Integrated BaseBand system (IBB) is a key component in ground stations for satellite Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C). The IBB ensures reliable and flexible communication between the Satellite Control Centre (SCC) and - via the station RF section - the satellite.
The main features are:
Supports multiple TM/TC and ranging boards, can integrate RF down-conversion and up-conversion in the equipment
Bitrates from 100bps to 4Mbps per TM/TC board
Carrier acquisition, tracking and demodulation of both residual and suppressed carrier signals:
PCM/PSK/PM
PCM/PSK/FM
PM/PCM
FM/PCM
BPSK
QPSK
OQPSK
Telemetry (TM) subcarrier demodulation and bit synchronization
Processing of Telecommand (TC) data
TC subcarrier generation and modulation
Uplink carrier generation and modulation of both residual and suppressed carrier signals:
PCM/PSK/PM
PCM/PSK/FM
PCM/PM
PCM/FM
BPSK
QPSK
OQPSK
Generation and reception of ranging tones and associated delay measurement
Processing of ranging data
Doppler and Doppler rate measurements
Data logging
Local and remote monitoring and control
Flexibility in interfaces, like SLE (Space Link Extension) and EDEN (EGSE Data Exchange Network)
Spectrum analyzer for real time analyses of the received input spectrum
