The SDR technology uses a processor, a special receiver and software that plays the main parts of the receiver (mixer, filters, amplifiers, modulators, demodulators, etc.) to listen to radio, television and almost all transmission modes, whether digital or analog. This work briefly presents this proposal and discusses some of the issues it entails. In order to reduce costs on the ground segment for small satellites projects, Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology is advantageous as it reduces the amount of hardware components while adapting for different modulation schemes, link budget requirements while supporting different satellites. 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. 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. A series of support software packages are then introduced so that one can pipeline various operations and automate tasks in the ground station. 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.

Two case studies are presented for supporting affordable ground segment and promoting satellites projects in Brazil.

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. 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.
