Title: Harris Corporation Anti-Scintillation Waveform Design Overview

Abstract:
Harris Corporation is developing the ground terminal Modem for a DOD SATCOM program that is required to be resilient to nuclear scintillation, the result of a nuclear detonation in the atmosphere. Known as the Anti-Scintillation Modem (ASM), it is based on a reusable hardware design featuring Xilinx FPGAs to perform the signal processing elements such as frequency conversion and tuning, digital filtering, modulation, demodulation, Turbo coding/decoding and interleaving. Time permitting, the design process will be discussed.

Bio:
James was raised in Tucker, GA. He received his BSEE from GT in 2001. During his undergraduate study, James was a Coop for Scientific Atlanta. James then received an MSECE from GT in 2002. During his graduate study, James was a Teaching Assistant for Dr. Peatman’s ECE4175 course. While at GT, James concentrated on Digital Systems and Communications. After completing his Master’s Degree, James went to work for the Government Comm. Systems Division of Harris Corporation in Melbourne, FL where he has been primarily involved in FPGA design for DOD SATCOM programs.
