Azure Orbital, RF Simulation, and Spectrum Processing on Azure - GRCon21

Explore Azure Orbital, RF Simulation, and Spectrum Processing on Azure in this GNU Radio Conference 2021 presentation by Hrishi Shelar and Craig Pomeroy. Discover RF|Sim, a software radio automation framework enabling cloud-based simulation of SDR designs in a scalable, GNU Radio-based virtual channel emulation environment. Learn how RF|Sim allows users to deploy containerized SDR designs in simulated RF environments, simulating propagation effects like loss, multipath, time delay, and Doppler shifts. Gain insights into the framework's ability to support full mesh connectivity topologies for hundreds of nodes in real-time. Examine a new OOT module developed to integrate Azure services seamlessly within a flowgraph. Delve into Microsoft's Ground Station as a Service offering, Azure Orbital, which utilizes cloud-based, software-defined ground station modems for interoperability with various spacecraft. Witness a demonstration of RF|Sim's application in conjunction with Azure Orbital for end-to-end testing of customer satellite designs against virtual SATCOM ground stations using GNU Radio. Explore topics such as virtual RF, test assets, RF in the cloud, architecture, simulation, analog TV, use cases, Azure Software Radio, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Key Vault, developer VM, and the journey from lab to flight.
