Using LabVIEW, a software-defined radio receiver was developed to extract the phase of the carrier and the symbol timing interval for possible satellite diagnostics. The receiver consists of two main parts: a phase-locked loop and a symbol timing algorithm. Using a Weaver demodulator and a complex-to-complex mixer, the phase of the carrier is extracted from the input signal. A windows-based timing algorithm, compatible with non-return-to-zero and biphase coding, extracts the symbol arrival time interval. Lastly, a two-stage logging algorithm temporarily stores output data in a DRAM buffer before streaming the data to the hard drive for final storage.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
