Description: The design and construction of a Signal Selection Unit and four Spectrum Receivers for use in the Naval Postgraduate School's SATCOM Signal Analyzer are presented.  The purpose of the SATCOM Signal Analyzer is to provide high-speed spectrum analysis and characterization of the outputs of UHF communication satellite transponders in orbit.  It is constructed around a PDP-11/34 mini-computer which provides the necessary control for most of the equipment of the system.  Extremely accurate frequency measurement is provided by the frequency receivers and signals for multi-channel spectrum analyses are provided by the Spectrum Receivers.  The Signal Selection Unit routes signals to the Spectrum, AM/FM, and Frequency Receivers.  This report documents the design and development of the Spectrum Receivers and the Signal Selection Unit.
