Software Modem Architecture
Receivers typically have 3 components: a digitizer to digitize the signal, a digital signal processor to demodulate and decode it and a front-end processor to handle frame and packet level processing.
The digitizer receives analogue input, so it has to be a hardware device. Blink implements everything else as high-performance software, making it extremely quick to extend and customise for new missions, as well as cost-competitive. In addition, all 3 components are completely independent an can work together with third party digitizers or modems.
This is only possible because Blink is the fastest software receiver in the …
