Autonomous software-defined radio receivers for deep space applications.9780470082126 Autonomous software-defined radio A software-defined radio (SDR) system is a radio communication system which can tune to any frequency band and receive any modulation across a large frequency spectrum by means of programmable hardware which is controlled by software. receivers for deep space applications. Ed. by Jon Hamkins and Marvin K. Simon.

Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a NASA research center located in the cities of Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge, near Los Angeles, California, USA. at the California Institute of Technology California Institute of Technology, at Pasadena, Calif.; originally for men, became coeducational in 1970; founded 1891 as Throop Polytechnic Institute; called Throop College of Technology, 1913–20. , introduce autonomous software-defined radio (SDR See software defined radio. ) receivers and explain the design and development of algorithms for their operation. Each chapter begins with a problem statement and offers a full mathematical derivation derivation, in grammar: see inflection. of an appropriate solution, a decision metric or loop-structure, and performance results. Application chapters describe NASA's Electra radio, which was developed for deep space applications, and demonstrate the performance of an actual software implementation of the various algorithms working together. Although the technology described is intended for deep space applications, the theoretical development and algorithms presented can be applied to any terrestrial radio capable of processing more than one type of signal.
