Abstract | In this paper, we present a number of algorithmic and architectural DSP solutions to be incorporated in digital OBPs for communication satellites to boost the system performance primarily in terms of reducing their power consumption. More specifically this article addresses (1) Infinite impulse response (IIR) implementation of digital filters, (2) Efficiency savings in channeliser FFT twiddle storage and multiplications and their reconfigurable implementation (3) Companding of interconnect data, and (4) Critically sampled/reduced over-sampling channelisation. The applicability and efficiency of these approaches were evaluated in detail during our European Space Agency (ESA) funded research project entitled "Efficient Techniques for On-Board Processing”, undertaken by Airbus Defence and Space and the Applied DSP and VLSI Research Group at the University of Westminster. The results demonstrated noteworthy improvements both in terms of power dissipation, and furthermore in the reduction of circuit complexity for future digital OBPs, which will be shown at the summary of results section. |
