Abstract: Starting with a short summary of the development status of digital demodulators for on‐board processing applications, the motivation for and scope of the COMED development program is given. The requirements specifications and realisation concepts for advanced multi‐carrier and wide‐band demodulators are presented. Issues of flight hardware implementation are discussed.
