CCSDS 413.0-G-1, BANDWIDTH-EFFICIENT MODULATIONS SUMMARY OF DEFINITION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND PERFORMANCE (GREEN BOOK)

CCSDS 413.0-G-1, BANDWIDTH-EFFICIENT MODULATIONS SUMMARY OF DEFINITION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND PERFORMANCE (GREEN BOOK). This Green Book provides the background information for CCSDS recommendations 401(2.4.17A), 401(2.4.17B) and 401(2.4.18) addressing the use of bandwidth efficient modulations for spacecraft telemetry which were approved by the Management Council in June 2001. This document provides a technical specification for the modulation techniques approved in the above mentioned recommendations, together with a description of their main performance characteristics for the applications covered by the recommendations. All figures are simulations unless noted otherwise.
