Description
ABSTRACT: SA Photonics proposes the SATCOM non-uniform channelizer using binary channel decomposition for the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) Satellite usage. With the proposed solution, a single RF down-conversion per wideband channel bandwidth (500MHz or 1GHz), followed by a high speed ADC and a custom digital signal processor achieves a complete non-uniform channelization solution, instead of requiring multiple paths of RF down-conversions of individual channel groups. SA Photonics"integrated solution provides flexible channelization with high adjacent channel interference (ACI) rejection. BENEFIT: Non-uniform channelization of wideband signals will enable lower cost and better performing satellite transducers. The core technology will be applicable to a wide range of wideband RF systems, including commercial satellites, RF spectrum monitoring systems, and Cable TV headend equipment..
