Pulsars emit broadband electromagnetic radiation, with an individual signature (period and shape), ranging from radio to X-ray and gamma-ray frequencies. For the purpose of navigation the pulsars of interest are fast rotating neutron stars that emit short stable periodic pulses, having periods between milliseconds and seconds. By detecting a set of known pulsars, it is possible to use them as beacons for navigation in celestial coordinates, being seen as the only truly navigation solution for deep-space navigation [1]. In this demo a proof of concept is presented for an innovative receiver architecture, overcoming, some of the issues presented in the paper entitled "Radio Pulsar Receiver Systems for Space Navigation" [2]. Furthermore, a fake pulsar generation board was developed and also an acquisition board, for both, simulate a pulsar signal and to process the data from the receiver and acquire the pulsar signal from noise. |
