Finally, a network for compensating the linear distortion produced in the message modulation by the oscillating limiter is shown, as well as experimental results.","PeriodicalId":134522,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Communication Technology","volume":"951 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1967-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120929794","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 method uses a few photographically-produced precision coding masks fitted over an equal number (N) of photocells. Thus, ten (N) typical high-detectivity photocells and ten coding masks will produce 210(2N) binary combinations, behaving like a 32 by 32 matrix photodetector and using only 10 preamps. Twenty larger cells and preamps promise a million element matrix.

When the combiner inputs are independent and identically distributed narrowband Gaussian random processes and the reference signals are timeinvariant, it is found that the combiner output can be conveniently represented as a function of a Gaussian random process, a chisquare variate, Gaussian variate, and known time functions. This representation clearly indicates the performance gain from diversity. In addition, it simplifies the evaluation of expectations of functions of the combiner output; recursion relations, with respect to the order of diversity, are found for these expectations. The results of this paper thus serve to unify and generalize many other results dealing with maximal-ratio diversity combiners; extensions of many well-known results can also be found by using the recursion relations.","PeriodicalId":134522,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Communication Technology","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1967-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127940836","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}

Particular reference is made to the Mariner Mars flyby photo mission. A planetary flyby picture taking sequence produces a relatively fast accumulation of video data bits. This data is stored on magnetic tape. As the telemetry data rate at planetary range is extremely slow, days must elapse for continuous transmission of the stored picture information. A study of the analog and digital resolution criteria indicates that for the low contrast scenes viewed, a high SNR at the camera is desired. When the spacecraft is so limited in power, weight, and transmission capability, a ground based computer usefully enhances contrast and resolution.","PeriodicalId":134522,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Communication Technology","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1967-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132530146","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}
