Abstract
An IF-to-Digital Converter (IDC) breadboard for the Advanced Receiver II has been designed, built, and tested in the laboratory, along with a Frequency Reference Generator and a Test Signal Generator. Field testing was performed by demonstrating Doppler extraction from Voyager 2 and Pioneer 10 signals at DSS 14. This article explains the functional requirements of the IDC, describes the design, and discusses the design trade-offs made. The results of the laboratory performance tests are presented, along with the test setups used.
