We explore the use of several types of imperfect interference estimation mechanisms and the resulting impact on Viterbi decoder bit error probability performance. Our digital receiver structures eliminate the need for a fast-acting analog AGC circuit which is often susceptable to spoofing. For the short constraint-length codes under consideration, we provide upper bounds on bit error probability performance under idealized channel modeling assumptions. Departures from these idealized assumptions are analyzed through extensive Monte-Carlo computer simulation.","PeriodicalId":222578,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1985 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130123551","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 communication systems interconnected with this mechanism are called member systems, and the interconnected set of communication systems is called the Intersystem. The Intersystem is implemented with higher layer protocols that impose a common organization on the different signaling conventions, so that end users of different systems can communicate with each other. The Intersystem provides its coordination of member system access and resource requests with Intersystem Resource Controllers (IRCs), which are processors that implement the Intersystem protocols and have interfaces to the member systems' own access and resource control mechanisms. The IRCs are connected to each other to form the IRC Subnetwork. Terminals request services from the IRC Subnetwork using the Intersystem Access Control Protocols, and the IRC Subnetwork responses to the requests are coordinated using the RCRC (Resource Controller to Resource Controller) Protocols.","PeriodicalId":222578,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1985 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124984341","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 multipath can be a result of surface reflections, or induced by atmospheric anomalies such as strong ducting gradients. One principal method of overcoming the effects of multipath is to use a form of diversity transmission and reception. The common forms of diversity in LOS links are frequency and space, or combinations of both in severe cases. This paper describes an alternative form of diversity using angle (of arrival) diversity at the receiving terminal. This form of diversity has the advantages of a) limiting the antenna elevations required for space diversity, and b) spectral efficiency when compared with frequency diversity.","PeriodicalId":222578,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1985 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125972813","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 is mathematically based on the Newton-Raphson iteration technique of finding zeros of a function. The practical realization is based on an extension of Compton's improved-feedback adaptive loop. It is shown how this modificationt results in constant and equal modal convergence rates in an adaptive array. The improved algorithm is also compared to Compton's original improved-feedback loop and to a \"standard\" LMS adaptive array. Preliminary experimental results are also shown to substantiate some of the analysis.","PeriodicalId":222578,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1985 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126120337","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 average BER of the system is then evaluated by averaging the conditional BER expressions over the probability density function of the code tracking error.

Crosslinks between satellites provide improvements in communications throughput for these systems. Crosslinks also increase system flexibility and remove the dependence of world-wide information flow on relay ground stations located outside the continental United States. Laser crosslinks provide the additional advantage of eliminating susceptibility to space-based or ground-based jammers. Laser terminals are also smaller and require smaller antennas than a radio frequency (RF) terminal. This paper describes the advantages of adding laser crosslinks to RF satellite communications systems. Characteristics of the required RF/optical interfaces on-board the satellites are addressed.
