Experimental Verification of Prototype Equalizer for Non-linear Compensation over Satellite Channel

Abstract

We propose an equalization technique that uses the characteristics of the satellite transponder to compensate for its non-linear distortion. In our previous study, the effects of this technique for 16APSK and 32APSK were assessed in simulations. In this study, we revised the configuration of the equalization system and developed a receiver based on this revision. We examined the reception performance of 16APSK and 32APSK in transmission experiments.
