abstract = "Software Defined Radio (SDR) uses a processor, a special receiver
and software that play the main parts of the receiver (mixer,
filters, amplifiers, modulators, demodulators, etc.) and it is
quite advantageous for its flexibility and compact size as it
reduces the amount of hardware components while adapting for
different needs. This work briefly presents the SDR concept and
approach for obtaining satellite telemetries and imagery in the
context of different modulation schemes, link budget requirements
and different satellites types. Two case studies are presented for
supporting affordable ground segment and promoting satellites
projects in Brazil. Reception from the 1st Brazilian
picosatellite, Tancredo-1, with specific software developed, UbaTM
is presented for obtaining satellite raw telemetries, convert them
to engineering value and friendly present on user screen. A series
of support software packages are then introduced so that one can
pipeline various operations and automate tasks in the ground
station. Finally, a second study case was performed in order to
receive NOAA class satellites imagery over VHF band and decoded by
specific software freely available. Using the proposed SDR
approach, it can adapt to projects mainly those with a limited
budget and outreach for major inclusion on space topics in
Brazil.",
