The MODIS AQUA/ TERRA
Receiver (MATR) operates on a 720
MHz IF and processes data from the
AQUA and TERRA satellites. For the
TERRA satellite, the receiver
demodulates and decodes a rate 1/2
convolutional coded signal at a
13.125 Mb/s information rate which
is one of the quadrature components
of an overall UQPSK signal. For the
AQUA satellite, the receiver
demodulates a 15 Mb/s OQPSK
signal. Satellite selection is via front
panel or remote interface. The
selected satellite data and clock
estimates are routed to the rear
panel. Lock signals are provided on
the front panel and via the remote
interface. |
