Abstract

A technology for modulating and demodulating a burst signal in a return link of a satellite system, in which the burst signal is modulated and transmitted from a transmission end of the return link and a symbol of the burst signal is identified and demodulated at a receiving end. The method includes estimating symbol timing of a burst received through the return link and synchronizing the estimated symbol timing of the burst to reference symbol timing; synchronizing a location of the timing-synchronized burst having the symbol timing synchronized to a location of a reference burst using a preamble symbol and a post-amble symbol of the timing-synchronized burst; and recovering a carrier of the location-synchronized burst whose location has been synchronized to the location of the reference burst using a pilot symbol of the location-synchronized burst.
