CCSDS Optical Communications High Photon Efficiency Telemetry Signaling Receive Waveform VHDL/Verilog

About this technology

Overview

This technology is a VHDL and Verilog implementation of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Optical Communications High Photon Efficiency (HPE) receive waveform. C/C++ code for commanding the implementation and receiving telemetry is also included. The code implements the CCSDS 142.0-B-1 Blue Book from August 2019, an optical communications CCSDS standard for performing communications in links in which there is a low photon flux. This code was used in the Australian National University ground station for the Orion Artemis II Optical Communications demonstration.
