The world has no boundaries and when a calamity strikes, all nations are immediately informed and volunteer their help. From experience the restoration of communications systems is the key since it restores connectivity with the outside world and establishes a damage assessment with further identification of needs. Tactical communications can help to support these commercial needs and others such as those in the transportation industry, air carriers, ships, railroads, intelligent highways and manufacturing facilities. In the environmental sector fiber optic sensor technology is widely utilized to detect various hazardous materials and radiation levels. Teleoperated robotic vehicles are used to perform key tasks in contaminated environments such as nuclear power generating plants. This paper addresses examples of technology and tactical communications systems inserted into the commercial sector.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114988337","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}

An additional important role is to assist in the design of HF equipment. As the state of development of radio equipment improves, the accuracy of simulators used for this purpose becomes increasingly crucial. The authors commence with a critical review of HF simulation models and highlights their deficiencies. An alternative approach to employing a stochastic model to simulate the HF channel is to construct a replay simulator which can make recordings of the time-varying impulse response of test channels for later reproduction of on-air conditions in the laboratory. Some of the advantages of replay simulators are their high degree of accuracy and that results obtained have an absolute physical reference. The design of a replay simulator, nearing completion, is discussed. It is proposed that a standard recorded-channel data base be prepared which would facilitate the exchange of quantitative performance results and give modem designers a sound basis on which to optimize their designs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122990279","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}

Traditional search methods look for code synch by sequentially stepping the phase of a locally generated copy of the spreading code and examining the result of correlating that code with the received signal. In contrast, the non-sequential binary autodirective method progressively discards half of the total remaining code uncertainty space with each decision. Decisions are based on correlating the received signal with a succession of locally generated waveforms; the waveforms are constructed such that the correlator output is a signal which indicates whether or not the phase of the locally generated code has been successfully advanced to within half way of achieving synchronization. This paper lays out in detail how the new method works, presents a preliminary analysis of the system's performance, and briefly addresses implementation issues.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125165996","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}

Voiceband modem signals can also pass the interface, but due to the poor quality of 16 kb/s CVSD (continuously variable slope delta modulation) voice channel, the capacity is limited to 1200 b/s. The EUROCOM D/1 standard offers possibilities to transfer data at 50-2400 b/s using sampling and RMVD (running majority voting detection) or at 2400-9600 b/s using BCH-coded data blocks. There are many ways to transfer data at those rates over a fixed network, but they all need the data to be converted at the interface. With the existing equipment this would mean that two terminals are needed for every data connection. The amount of equipment and associated operating personnel makes such an interconnection point a quite expensive and not easily replaceable resource. The developed gateway gives also the possibility to transcode data signals between the tactical network and a fixed network instead of using an intermediate conversion to voiceband. The authors discuss how to convert data between EUROCOM D/1 RMVD/BCH-codes and CCITT V.110/X.30 ISDN bit rate adaptation. Digital conversion at the interface will need much less processing capacity than an intermediate conversion to voiceband. It is also expected to become an economic way of interconnecting, when the use of ISDN for data transmission will increase in the 90s.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126966799","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}

This coding technique, also known as partial-response signaling, has desirable properties that protect the signal against interceptors using a symbol rate detector based on a squaring circuit. Any waveform that has its power spectrum confined within the Nyquist bandwidth does not expose its clock signal to a square-law circuit. A digital receiver structure has been developed based on a multilevel correlative spreading code, and the fine acquisition performance of its timing and carrier phase synchronization has been evaluated by simulation. A phase modulated signal spread by a multilevel spreading code looks more like noise than does one spread by a PN code.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121813648","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}

Local and long-haul service providers have committed to and are currently focused on the insertion of broadband technologies. These technologies include emerging transmission hierarchies such as synchronous optical network (SONET) and advanced switching technologies such as frame relay, switched multimegabit data service (SMDS), asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), and broadband integrated services digital network (B-ISDN).

The error probabilities and expected sample sizes are compared with those obtained in both ideal case where the SPRT depends on /spl epsi/, and in the case where the SPRT is based on a zero sequence model for the out-of-phase hypothesis. These comparisons are made in both of the situations where the observations are random sequences, or actual PN sequences as would be used in practice.
