Abstract
A computer defined radio includes a Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) terminal configured to instantiate two or more virtual terminals. Each of the two or more virtual terminals provides all of the functionality of a MUOS terminal with satellite communication through a single antenna. Each of the two or more virtual terminals may join a separate group as defined by MUOS specifications, and give the single MUOS terminal access to the disparate groups. Each of the two or more virtual terminals is configured to operate at a different bitrate such that the total power consumption of the MUOS terminal is less than the same number of physical terminals operating separately.
