Conversational voice communication over a high performance meteor burst channel

Abstract

The authors describe a meteor burst system with sufficient performance to provide conversational voice communication. An advanced computer-based modeling technique used to design the high-performance system is illustrated, and some key system design parameters and technological advances are identified. Measured results are presented and compared with those for previous systems, and some applications of the technological advances described are mentioned. The system provides a data throughput performance more than ten times greater than that of any previous system. The enhanced performance has enabled conversational voice to be communicated over the meteor channel with realistic message delay times.<>
