Design of a fully-integrated Telemetry and Telecommand Unit for CCSDS Spacecraft Communication on a Generic Software-defined Radio Platform

This paper presents the design of a fully-integrated Telemetry and Telecommand unit for spacecraft communication on a generic software-defined radio platform. The implementation is compliant to the CCSDS standard and allows high flexibility in reconfiguration of the physical layer and data link layer. A state-of-the-art TMTC architecture is presented and is compared to the proposed design approach.
