Abstract :
[en] Polarization Shift Keying is a digital modulation
method using the state of polarization of an electromagnetic
wave as the signalling quantity. The technique comes from
fibre communications, where the channel offers two orthogonal
states of polarization. This paper develops on the idea to adapt
this technology to satellite communications, where comparable
channel conditions exist. For this purpose, a digital Polarization
Shift Keying transceiver was implemented on programmable
logic. Detection performance of the modem was measured in
different set-ups with thermal noise and non-linear distortion and
the results compared to simulations. Finally, the implemented
system was used to demonstrate a 16-state Polarization Shift
Keying link over commercial satellite in Ku-band.
