Abstract :
Satellite on-board front-end processing is currently implemented with ASIC because of high computation throughput. We describe in this paper a signal processor, which offers high computation power. After a brief description of the targeted class of applications, the architecture of the processor and the software development tool kit, and two representative applications are presented
