The use of ECCM techniques entails that the communication system be designed from a network point of view, to insure non-interfering operation. Spread spectrum transmission is examined in light of interference reduction techniques both from a network and a co-location point of view. It is shown that a combination of Time Division Duplexing, frequency hopping, forward error correction coding, CPFSK modulation, and synchronized transmission will provide a non-interfering solution. The use of automated frequency management, hosted on a personal computer, enhances the performance of this system especially when the frequency allocation is limited or the network topology is not a mesh.

Bit error rate (BER) analysis of binary DPSK data modulation used in conjuction with direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) is used as a performance measure. A first order noncoherent delay-lock loop is used for the pseudonoise code tracking. Conditional BER results for the DS/DPSK system for fixed values of the code tracking error are obtained [1]. The average BER of the system is then evaluated by averaging the conditional BER expressions over the probability density function of the code tracking error. Results include the effects of both a single fading tone and narrowband gaussian interferer on the overall system performance.","PeriodicalId":126184,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1986 - IEEE Military Communications Conference: Communications-Computers: Teamed for the 90's","volume":"309 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116000510","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}

The response of the equipment in a shelter subjected to nuclear overpressure for nominal overpressures of 2 psi and 4 psi has been simulated and shown to be much greater than the response to the shock and vibration environment which is normally specified for electronics--even military equipment. Including a shock isolation system in the simulation demonstrates that such an isolation system can attenuate the shock to more acceptable levels. Methods and tools are discussed which allow the simulation of the response to overpressure and the design of the isolation system.","PeriodicalId":126184,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1986 - IEEE Military Communications Conference: Communications-Computers: Teamed for the 90's","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116698724","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}
