Computer Software for the Navy K-Band Satellite Communications Terminal.
Abstract
A small general purpose computer is an integral part of the Navy experimental K-band communications terminal to provide the necessary computational power and flexibility. The computer functions include: (1) satellite orbit predictions for antenna tracking, (2) received signal integration and comparison for autotracking, (3) adjustments of transmitter power based on information derived from the downlink signal, (4) message editing and processing, (5) verification of correct terminal setup, and (6) recording of input parameters and performance data on magnetic tape for offline processing.
