The frequency of the transmitted signal is hopped in L equal time intervals in a sequence determined by the PNS derived address. A system is suggested for digital speech at 31.25 kbps to be transmitted in a channel band width of 36 MHz. Correlation functions of PN sequences of lengths 31, 63 and 127 and coincidence functions for the addresses have been computed. It is found that the derived addresses are less correlated as compared to the PN sequences. System performance in a random access environment has been computed. For a false detection probability PF≪ 10¿4, the system would support six simultaneously active subscribers.","PeriodicalId":375763,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1984 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128386629","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 voice encoding techniques analyzed and their respective bit rates were as follows: adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM) at 24 kbps, continuously variable slope delta modulation (CVSD) at 16 kbps, sub-band coding (SBC) at 16 kbps, time domain harmonic scaling with sub-band coding (TDHS/SBC) at 9.6 kbps, and linear predictive coding (LPC-10) at 2.4 kbps. The RF digital communication link was simulated by random bit error insertion between the voice encoder and voice decoder. The resulting speech intelligibility performance was measured subjectively using the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT). Data graphs depicting speech intelligibility versus bit error rate (BER) are presented. This data shows that ADPCM and CVSD are most tolerant of bit errors, followed by SBC, TDHS/SBC, and LPC-10 in that order.","PeriodicalId":375763,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1984 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124358667","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}

In the tracking mode we show that the spectrum of the error signal is quite similar to that of the unmodulated carrier case.

In this paper a novel scheme for coarse acquisition of the frequency hopping signal, using its real time Fourier transform at the receiver front end, is presented and analyzed. In the system, an additional logic is used to select the correct frequency estimate so that the average acquisition time is further decreased. The same logic is used to select the search/lock strategy so that the average acquisition time could be minimized. It was shown that considerable improvement of the system performance can be obtained by using this technique compared with the standard serial sinchronization schemes.","PeriodicalId":375763,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1984 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123106837","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}

Tone jamming increases the variance of the detection variable; as a result it significantly influences the probabilities of detection and false alarm of the receiver. The effects of jamming on acquisition time are also assessed for particular acquisition schemes. Finally, the results of these analyses are used to propose a receiver which mitigates the deleterious effects of the jamming. The primary observation is the need for the acquisition receiver to sense and adapt to jamming. A proposed adaptive receiver provides considerable jamming protection and the acquisition performance obtained with such a receiver bounds the performance of all adaptive acquisition receivers.","PeriodicalId":375763,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1984 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115420774","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}
