Saw chirp filter technology for satellite on‐board processing applications

Abstract
Market growth in the area of thin route satellite communications services has led to consideration of non‐traditional system architectures requiring sophisticated on‐board processing functions. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology exists today which can provide implementation of key on‐board processing subsystems by using multicarrier demodulators. This paper presents a review of this signal processing technology, along with a brief review of dispersive SAW device technology as applied to the implementation of multicarrier demodulators for on‐board signal processing.
