Dynamic Receiver

Abstract:

A receiver is presented, such that the receiver may be configured to receive transmissions in accordance with a continuous waveform and to relock quickly on a received transmission when the transmitter is switched or a change in the waveform parameters is made. The receiver may be configured to support reception of a shared channel and/or of a channel allocated for SCPC usage and may be modified while used (e.g., dynamic SCPC). In addition, a satellite communication system is presented, the satellite communication system comprising at least one receiver in accordance with the above-described receiver. The satellite communication system may be configured to utilize the receiver's characteristics for at least the purpose of achieving a highly efficient return link channel.
