Reception of Direct-Broadcast Satellite Data
Reception of Direct-Broadcast Satellite Data |
A TeraScan reception system captures signals broadcast from remote-sensing environmental satellites and demodulates and frames the data embedded in the signals. The reception system can then also process the data into images and image overlays, or can send the data to another TeraScan system for processing.
The TeraScan software is capable of working with data from many different types of environmental satellites. The reception capabilities of a TeraScan system are determined by the system's hardware configuration (antenna(s), receiver(s), and other related hardware). SeaSpace produces several different configurations of the TeraScan system to accommodate the different types of satellites in operation.
A TeraScan reception system captures data automatically according to user specifications once it has been programmed to do so. The system can also be programmed to process and distribute data automatically. The specific sequence of TeraScan software events involved in data capture control varies somewhat depending on the telemetry being received.
