Azure Orbital, RF Simulation, and Spectrum Processing on Azure
summary
Cloud-hosted SDRunits run in RF|Sim to emulate full-mesh RF channels (demo uses ~100×10 time-varying channel files ≈1,000 links) with propagation loss, multipath, Doppler and real-time hundreds-of-node scale; VITA-49/DIFFIE IQ streams feed Azure Orbital ground stations or local USRPs via blob sync, storing captures to Azure Blob (single-file up to 190 TB) and using Key Vault for secrets. An out-of-tree GNU Radio module, a prebuilt developer VM, and a live NTSC and LEO-pass demo prove end-to-end lab-to-flight workflows at cloud throughput targets (up to 12.5 GB/s).
