An adaptive communications module for on-board computers of satellites

Traditionally, computational systems based on FPGA technology take advantage of the device's configurable resources in order to adapt to different working scenarios. This paper presents a communication system developed in VHDL, targeting an anti-fuse programmable once FPGA device, that adapts to environmental conditions, with no use of reconfigurable technology. The design and implementation of the communications module of the target spacecraft is briefly introduced aiming a better understanding of the proposed approach.
