Abstract

The automatic identification system (AIS) signal is of particular interest to the defense and security community because of its capability to identify and classify ships in U.S. waters. Placing an AIS receiver on a satellite provides a low cost solution to enhance security over a wide region. This paper describes the development of an AIS burst-acquisition receiver on a software radio consisting of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and general purpose processor (GPP). A simple hybrid 1-bit/2-bit differential receiver can be easily implemented on such a software radio platform, and is sufficient to reliably demodulate collision free bursts in a space-borne signal environment.
