Regenerative repeater for satellite links
Restoring an attenuated, noisy signal in GNU Radio
Context
A simplified simulation, in GNU Radio, of a regenerative repeater as used in satellite links.
A regenerative repeater does more than amplify: it rebuilds a clean signal, instead of passing the noise on with it.
Architecture
The signal chain, stage by stage
What I did
- Re-amplified the attenuated signal with a multiplier.
- Removed the noise with a low-pass filter.
- Reconstructed a clean signal with a threshold comparator.
