Digital IF with VITA 49 and DIFI: Building Software-Defined Satellite Ground Stations

As satellite communications (SATCOM) and Software-Defined Radio (SDR) architectures continue to evolve, the traditional analog Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal chain is rapidly giving way to Digital Intermediate Frequency (Digital IF). Rather than transporting analog IF signals over dedicated coaxial cables or waveguides, Digital IF encapsulates digitized RF samples and metadata into structured packets that traverse standard IP networks.
