Abstract
A satellite packet communication system comprising a central station and VSAT stations. The central station generates chip-rate clock pulses and transmits a series of data on timeslots of a frame to a satellite transponder, and a plurality of terminal stations. Each VSAT station receives the frame from the transponder and recovers the chip-rate clock pulses from the received frame. A pseudorandom number (PN) sequence generator, provided in the terminal station is synchronized with the recovered chip-rate clock pulses for generating bits of a PN sequence with which packetized data bits are pseudorandomly modulated and transmitted in burst form to the transponder. The central station includes a correlator which is synchronized with the central station's chip-rate clock pulses to detect correlations between the pseudorandomly modulated data bits a sequence of pseudorandom numbers corresponding to the PN sequence bits of the terminal stations.
