The FIU concept was developed to allow off-the-shelf facsimile terminals to be interconnected via the PSTN through Inmarsat's satellite networks and to permit the provision of enhanced user services by converting Group 3 facsimile protocols to broadcast operation. In addition, the FIU concept is designed to compensate for the longer access and transport link delays encountered in mobile satellite systems, and to permit facsimile call recovery procedures to be successfully concatenated with satellite channel error detection and recovery mechanisms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":114705,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] Vehicular Technology Society 42nd VTS Conference - Frontiers of Technology","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124767319","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}

In order to reduce the effect of multipath fading, an adaptive array of four antenna elements is implemented using a digital beam forming concept. The improvement in input power, compared with that of a single antenna system, reaches 16 dB in suburban Tokyo and 19 to 23 dB in central Tokyo at a BER of 1.0*10/sup -2/. Moreover, in central Tokyo, the irreducible error seen in the single antenna system is removed by the adaptive array.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":114705,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] Vehicular Technology Society 42nd VTS Conference - Frontiers of Technology","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132265283","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}
