Ionosphere behavior

Ionosphere behavior

Introduction    When we look up at the night sky, we see through all the layers of our atmosphere into outer space. We see across millions of lightyears to the shining, beckoning pinpoints of light that make us stare up with wonder and curiosity. But what may not be...
The Fibonacci LFSR

The Fibonacci LFSR

Introduction    Welcome back! From our last conversation about general Linear Feedback Shift Registers, we mentioned there were two flavors of LFSR algorithms: Fibonacci and Galois. Although we ran through a basic implementation of the Fibonacci technique, we can dive...

Linear Feedback Shift Registers

 Introduction Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) algorithms are an elegant solution in communication between satellites and their terrestrial receivers. Given the limited bandwidth of the receiver and transmitter systems, codes transmitted between the systems are...
The Galois LFSR

The Galois LFSR

Introduction Along with the Fibonacci Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) algorithm, a Galois-based can also be created. In fact, the Galois algorithm is more computationally efficient than the Fibonacci algorithm, and it is also used in validating the IS-GPS-200...
