Design and Fabrication of Compact Digital Receiver for Acquiring L-Band Signal

Abstract

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a compact digital receiver for acquiring L-band signals. A receiver, based on direct RF sampling, has been designed for a compact multi-channel receiver. The design of the receiver is based on the system parameters and it is further fabricated on the basis of the simulation model. The performance of the fabricated digital receiver is analyzed by comparing it with the performance of the simulation model. It is observed that the fabricated digital receiver exhibits a receive sensitivity of −102 dBm, and eventually reaches the dynamic range of 62.7 dB.
