SINAD system design

Abstract

This paper deals with performance parameters used in designing a communication system, black boxes and all, rather than with the circuit parameters needed to design the individual equipments which make up the total system. There is a common language for use in the Land Mobile Services which should, but does not yet, have the stature of CCIF and CCITT specifications used by system designers In the field of point-to-point communications. The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) specifications for Land Mobile equipment are examined and their applicability to system design work is discussed.
