Sneha 46
Sneha 46
Onboard each of the satellites are four highly accurate atomic clocks. The resonance frequency of
one of these clocks generates the following time pulses and frequencies required for operations.
• The 50Hz data pulse
• The C/A (Coarse/Acquisition) code (a PRN-
Code broadcast at 1.023MHz), which modulates the data using an exclusive-
or operation (EXOR)16 spreading the data over a 2MHz bandwidth.
• The frequency of the civil L1 carrier (1575.42MHz) The data modulated by the C/A code mo
dulates the L1 carrier in turn by using Binary-Phase-Shift-
Keying (BPSK)17. With every change in the modulated data there is a 180° change in the L1 car
rier phase.
PHYSICS COMPONENT
The current operational low earth orbit satellite phone networks are
able to track transceiver units with accuracy of a few kilometres
using Doppler shift calculation from the satellite.
The co-ordinates are sent back to the transceiver unit where they can
be read using AT commands or a graphical user interface.
