About PilotSync™ technology                                           

Modesat’s patented PilotSync™ technology increases the throughput and reliability of wireless and wired transmission channels. The PilotSync™ synchronization scheme is based on a reference pilot tone within the signal bandwidth, which is orthogonal to the information signal and is independent of the modulation order used. On the receive side, the pilot tone allows to greatly simplify the receiver implementation and significantly improve receiver performance.

All necessary signals and parameters are recovered in parallel using PilotSync™ technology. The synchronization algorithm is fully linear and makes efficient use of resources, leading naturally towards implementation on existing silicon platforms.

This technological innovation results in:
increased channel throughput
higher working reliability
extended coverage area
fastest signal recovery
lowest cost bill of material
native adaptivity

Modesat’s PilotSync™ synchronization technique also facilitates signal tracking in mobile environments such as mobile satellite communication systems, and introduces the possibility of a continuously synchronized frequency hopping regime.

PilotSync™ technology is based on WIPO patent nr WO/2005/096539 "System and method for transmission and reception of QAM signals at low signal to noise ratio".
