The unique requirements of radio intercom systems and the need for a deterministic and periodic bus access protocol are defined. An approach to a Local Area Radio Intercom Network (LARIN) with a modified Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol is presented. It is concluded that distributed bus type systems using appropriate protocols can provide cost effective integrated local audio/data switching and distribution systems. The intent of this paper is to stimulate interest and discussion in a local area integrated digital audio and data network bus standard.","PeriodicalId":113679,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1983 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122041908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the most part, the problem is due to unexpected spurious responses and audio rectification in the victim receiver. Not well known, however, is the fact that the primary mode of coupling may not be antenna-to-antenna interference but rather radar-antenna-to-victim-cable coupling. The paper presents case histories in support of the above together with analytical and hardware solutions. Generally this situation is not recognized because of the appearance of broadband interference across most of the tunable spectrum of the HF receiver. One solution is to use protective low-pass filters having a cut-off frequency sufficiently below that of the radar. Another solution is the selection of a coaxial cable from the victim antenna to its receiver having a considerably lower transfer impedance to eliminate the antenna-to-cable coupling mode. Also demonstrated is the inadequacy of present MIL-STD 461A/B, CS-04 limits in which a maximum out of band injection of 0 dBm is called for. It is shown that under certain conditions the available interference power may approach levels of + 30 dBm. This clearly demonstrates the need for increasing the MIL specifications limits where high-power radars and victim receivers are cosite located.","PeriodicalId":113679,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1983 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133479117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Against these intelligent adversaries, a pure soft-decision energy metric is not effective unless the communication receiver has jammer-state side-information ['ref s. 1-2]. This is true because a pure soft-decision receiver without side-information is vulnerable to a jamming strategy where high jamming power can be concentrated on a small number of symbols of a coded transmission sequence and lead to a large number of decoding errors. One approach to alleviating this problem is to quantize the demodulator outputs with a finite number of threshold levels, but the disadvantage of this is that optimum threshold setting requires perfect AGC which is difficult to maintain in a jamming environment.","PeriodicalId":113679,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1983 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133654527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the scope of tactical network control is much broader and the actions taken are much more dynamic. The current development of network control, as agreed to by the military services, is outlined. Two different tactical network philosophies are then discussed. One stresses the technical control of the transmission network which provide circuits to switches, communication centers, data systems and individual terminals; the other addresses the use of circuit switches to control and distribute communication circuits on demand. Tactical network control is discussed in the context of both philosophies, differences are analyzed and answers are proposed which combine the best features of both into one tactical system.","PeriodicalId":113679,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1983 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115162178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
