The experimental study of a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) with a digital loop filter is presented in this paper.
Geocentric Tracking Station coordinates can be measured with global positioning system.
One of the most pernicious cause for spurious emission and performance degradation in space telemetry systems is the imperfect data stream at the input of the modulator. The imperfection of the data stream can be caused by impalance between -1s and +1s (unbalanced data) and/or by data asymmetry.

Launched on 10 August, 1992, the Topex/Poseidon satellite is a joint project of NASA and the French space agency CNES. The purpose of this Earth orbiting altimetric satellite (for brevity, referred to as Topex) is to enable monitoring of the ocean topography to higher levels of accuracy than previously achieved. Essential to obtaining this greater level of accuracy is the use of improved navigational systems which can yield position estimates for Topex good to a few centimeters. One of the navigational systems utilized by Topex is the Global Positioning System (GPS) -- a network of navigational beacons that has become widely used in many areas beside spacecraft navigation...

GPS-based estimates of precipitable water vapor (PWV) may be useful in numerical weather models to improve short-term weather predictions. To be effective in numerical weather prediction models, GPS PWV estimates must be produced with sufficient accuracy in near real time. Several estimation strategies for the near real time processing of GPS data are investigated.
The performance of residual carrier communication systems that are used for space telemetry signals and that employ a PCM/PM modulation technique with an imperfect NRZ or Bi-0 data format and band-limited channels is investigated in this paper.
This paper presents a performance evaluation of residual carrier commuication systems that employ a PCM/PM modulation technique operating over non-ideal channels. The non-ideal channels under investigation include data asymmetry, an unbalanced data stream (i.e., transition density deviates from 0.5) and InterSymbol Interference (ISI).
This paper will describe the capability and highlight the cases of the critical communications for the Mars rovers and Saturn Orbit Insertion and preparation radio tracking of the Huygens probe at (non-DSN) radio telescopes.
