    Abstract: A receiver (10) for a wireless telecommunications system that provides relatively wideband signal processing of received signals without increased signal distortion so that multiple received signals can be simultaneously processed. The receiver (10) includes a specialized LNA (16), frequency down-converter (18) and ADC (20) to perform the wideband signal processing while maintaining receiver performance. The frequency down-converter (18) employs a suitable mixer (28), BPA (32), attenuator (34), and transformer (36) that are tuned to provide the desired frequency down-conversion and amplitude control over the desired wideband. The down-converter devices are selected depending on the particular performance criteria of the ADC (20). A specialized digital channelizer (22) is included in the receiver (10) that receives the digital signal from the ADC (20), and separates the signals into the multiple channels. In one embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a single down-conversion process, and the ADC (20) employs delta-sigma processing to provide digital conversion over the complete frequency band. In an alternate embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a double down-conversion process so that a less complex ADC (62) can be used.

    Abstract: A multi-channel transmission system and method provide peak power smoothing without additional in-band interference. The system includes a multi-carrier waveform generator for reducing peak amplifier power required to transmit a digital multi-carrier waveform based on a plurality of digital carrier waveforms. A signal conversion system generates an analog multi-carrier waveform based on the digital multi-carrier waveform. The analog multi-carrier waveform has a center frequency and a desired gain over the original signal. A bandpass filter is coupled to the signal conversion system for restriction of the analog multi-carrier output waveform to a desired transmission bandwidth. The multi-carrier waveform generator has a nulling waveform generator coupled to a plurality of single carrier waveform modules for generating a digital nulling waveform based on the retrieved data. The nulling waveform reduces a peak power of the multi-carrier waveform and results in a reduced signal envelope.

    Abstract: A spacecraft (10) having a cryogenic cooler (24) that maintains different temperatures in thermally insulated and nested enclosures (26, 28, 12). In the coldest enclosure (26), which is maintained, for example, approximately 10.degree. K, low-temperature superconducting (LTS) processors (32, 34) perform bus and payload processing functions at very high speed. The next-coldest enclosure (28) is maintained at approximately 77.degree. K and houses high-temperature superconducting (HTS) electronic modules, such as for power regulation and distribution (40) and a payload sensor processing module (38). The third of the enclosures (12) is maintained at approximately 300.degree. K and houses other modules operating at room temperature, including a transponder (44), power control (46), energy storage (48), a propulsion subsystem (22), a downlink data processing module (49) and the cryogenic cooler (24) itself. Thermal functions of the spacecraft are effectively centralized in the cryogenic cooler (24) and the bus and payload functions of the spacecraft are provided very efficiently in a small, compact an potentially low-cost configuration.
