Open Architecture Standard for NASA's Software-Defined Space Telecommunications Radio Systems |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
NASA is developing an architecture standard for software-defined radios used in space- and ground-based platforms to enable commonality among radio developments to enhance capability and services while reducing mission,and programmatic risk. Transceivers (or transponders) with functionality primarily defined in software (e.g., firmware) have the ability to change their functional behavior through software alone. This radio architecture standard offers value by employing common waveform software interfaces, method of instantiation, operation, and testing among different compliant hardware and software products. These common interfaces within the architecture abstract application software from the underlying hardware to enable technology insertion independently at either the software or hardware layer. This paper presents the initial Space Telecommunications Radio System architecture for NASA missions to provide the desired software abstraction and flexibility while minimizing the resources necessary to support the architecture. |
