While significant performance gain has been reported for such applications as forming a pattern maximum in the direction of a desired signal and adaptively nulling strong jammers, many of the current results have assumed no mutual coupling between array elements. This paper examines the effects of mutual element coupling upon two properties of the LMS algorithm: (1) convergence rate, and (2) steady state pattern. Analysis is developed which displays the effects of mutual coupling explicitly via the elemental coupling coefficients. It is shown that both amplitude and phase of the elemental coupling in general degrades the convergence rate of the LMS algorithm and causes the pattern maximum to appear at a look-direction other than the angle of desired signal arrival. Several examples then illustrate LMS performance in representative coupled environments.","PeriodicalId":179832,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1982 - IEEE Military Communications Conference - Progress in Spread Spectrum Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130862148","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 model employed assumes a mix of QPSK and direct sequence SSMA links.

Factors influencing the terminal architecture and design include covert operation in the presence of a high jamming environment. These requirements are generally achievable only through the use of advanced technology concepts which are usually not consistent with low cost. The effort described in this paper was sponsored by RADC under Contract F30602-81-C-0154. It develops the interrelationship between terminal requirements, available technology and terminal architecture necessary to provide low life cycle cost terminals. An iterative process applied early in the design phase leads to the identification of high cost areas and through analysis and trade-off of technology, design and architecture, lower cost approaches are developed. Life-cycle analysis is accomplished through computer programs providing sensitivity data which is accurate and accountable for both design-to-unit-production-cost (DTUPC) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC).","PeriodicalId":179832,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1982 - IEEE Military Communications Conference - Progress in Spread Spectrum Communications","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124266753","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}

It is shown that if the angle modulated signal is random, but stationary in the wide sense, the power or energy spectrum is the convolution of the corresponding spectra of the angle modulated wave and of the amplitude pulse. Spectrum occupancy can be obtained by integrating the resulting spectrum. Using a 9845S desk computer, spectrum occupancy has been estimated for FSK waves having peak to peak deviation ratios of 0.5 (MSK) and 0.7 (approximately optimum for limiter-discriminator). The modulating pulse may be a square wave of duration equal to from one to sixteen FSK symbols, or such a pulse passed through a Butterworth filter (with 2, 4 or 6 poles) or an ideal Gaussian filter. The filtered pulses have a one symbol rise time. It is concluded that square wave modulation should be avoided unless the duration is substantially longer than 16 bits. The simple 2-pole Butterworth filter confines the spectrum about as well as the ideal Gaussian, and much better than the square pulse. Pulsed FSK signals should be provided with a rise (and fall) time of the order of one modulation period. The amplitude variation should be continuous from zero to maximum, and probably the first derivative of the variation should also be continuous.","PeriodicalId":179832,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1982 - IEEE Military Communications Conference - Progress in Spread Spectrum Communications","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127710728","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}

Scintillation data from the polar cap region and the auroral oval region taken during the 1980-81 period are presented.

The AFSATCOM system uses noncoherent binary frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation at 75 b/s and matched filter detection. Performance is described in terms of bit-error-rate (BER), character-error-rate (CER), and message-error-rate (MER). The recorded bit stream of the experimental data was used as the basis for the evaluation of several scintillation fading mitigation techniques. These techniques, which do not involve coding and interleaving, are shown to improve link performance significantly for the mitigated messages. The penalty paid in reduced channel throughput rate is moderate.","PeriodicalId":179832,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1982 - IEEE Military Communications Conference - Progress in Spread Spectrum Communications","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128142020","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}

Before DPSK data can be properly demodulated by the receiver several dimensions of time synchronization must first be achieved. These include the acquisition and tracking of the frequency hop time epoch, symbol synchronization of the DPSK data stream, and the frame synchronization which involves the determination of the first DPSK bit within each hop period. Two symbol sync structures for DPSK signals, with and without data aiding, are first discussed. They are optimal in the Gaussian noise channel in the sense that they are both motivated by maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation theory. Methods for acquiring the frequency hop time and its tracking for this type of signal, as well as the determination of the first DPSK symbol in each hop, are next discussed. The effect of symbol sync error on the probability of DPSK detection error is analyzed. Numerical results showing the bit error as a function of both fixed and random symbol sync error are given.","PeriodicalId":179832,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1982 - IEEE Military Communications Conference - Progress in Spread Spectrum Communications","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129681430","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}
