Abstract
This article describes new signal processing techniques for DSN radios and presents a proposed receiver architecture, as well as experimental results on this new receiver’s analog front end. The receiver’s design employs direct downconversion rather than high speed digitization, and it is Just as suitable for use as a space-based probe relay receiver as it is for installation at a ground antenna. The advantages of having an inexpensive, shoe-box-size receiver, which could be carried around to antennas of opportunity, used for spacecraft testing or installed in the base of every antenna in a large array are the force behind this project.
