Abstract

With the development of nano/micro-satellite technology, cluster flying and space networking become the trend of development. The contradiction between the numbers of satellites and ground stations have become increasingly prominent. Through the analysis of micro satellite common modulation system, three kinds of modulation system were selected: FM, GMSK, and BPSK. By using GNU Radio & USRP software radio platform, a universal ground station based on amateur radio frequency band was designed to realize the telemetry data receiving and demodulating functions of micro satellites on different communication system.
