    Improved performance of a digital phase-locked loop combined with a frequency/frequency-rate estimator (1986)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-02-14
    Description: When a digital phase-locked loop with a long loop update time tracks a signal with high Doppler, the demodualtion losses due to frequency mismatch can become very significant. One way of reducing these Doppler-related losses is to compensate for the Doppler effect using some kind of frequency-rate estimator. The performance of the fixed-window least-squares estimator and the Kalman filter is investigated; several Doppler compensating techniques are proposed. It is shown that the variance of the frequency estimator can be made as small as desired, and with this, the Doppler effect can be effectively compensated. The remaining demodulation losses due to phase jitter in the loop can be less than 0.1 dB.

    Multiple trellis coded modulation (MTCM) (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A new trellis coded modulation technique, referred to as multiple trellis coded modulation wherein more than one channel symbol per trellis branch is transmitted and demonstrated. Simple two state trellis codes for symmetric MPSK and AM modulations, which can achieve 3 dB gain over uncoded modulation at very high signal-to-noise ratios without bandwidth expansion and without reduction in information bit rate have been found. The gain of the new trellis codes with respect to previously reported two state trellis codes is between 1 to 2 dB at very high signal-to-noise ratios, depending on the number of bits per hertz transmitted. These gains are achieved with no additional cost in complexity; while indeed additional computations per branch are needed for the multiple trellis coding scheme. This concept can be extended to higher number of states and other type of modulations; i.e., quadrature amplitude modulation.

    Effects of ISI and satellite channel nonlinearity on Viterbi demodulation/decoding (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: It is shown that, for convolutionally coded transmission over bandwidth-constrained channels, a mere reversal of the switching direction at the encoder output produces a change in the system bit error probability performance. This change is significant when the Viterbi demodulator/decoder is matched to the total channel memory and is more significant for linear channels than for nonlinear ones. The reversal of switching direction is a simple demonstration of the fact that the well-known optimum codes for the linear AGWN channel are no longer necessarily optimum for a bandwidth-constrained channel with or without the addition of channel nonlinearity. It is concluded that potentially significant performance improvement can be obtained by matching the encoder (through the appropriate choice of tap weights and modulo-2 summers) to the channel in addition to matching the demodulator/decoder to the channel for a given encoder.

    Differential detection of Gaussian MSK in a mobile radio environment (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Minimum shift keying with Gaussian shaped transmit pulses is a strong candidate for a modulation technique that satisfies the stringent out-of-band radiated power requirements of the mobil radio application. Numerous studies and field experiments have been conducted by the Japanese on urban and suburban mobile radio channels with systems employing Gaussian minimum-shift keying (GMSK) transmission and differentially coherent reception. A comprehensive analytical treatment is presented of the performance of such systems emphasizing the important trade-offs among the various system design parameters such as transmit and receiver filter bandwidths and detection threshold level. It is shown that two-bit differential detection of GMSK is capable of offering far superior performance to the more conventional one-bit detection method both in the presence of an additive Gaussian noise background and Rician fading.

    Differential versus limiter-discriminator detection of narrow-band FM (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The error probability performance of differential detection of narrow-band FM is determined and compared with the analogous results for limiter-discriminator detection of the same modulation. It is shown that over a large class of benign and hostile environments, e.g., Gaussian IF filter, AWGN, partial-band noise jamming, the differential detector offers no theoretical performance advantage over the limiter-discriminator receiver with integrate-and-dump postdetection filtering.

    On the probability density function of the squared envelope of a sum of random phase vectors (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Weber et al. (1980) have found that a generic problem arises in the study of multiuser FHMA/MFSK systems. According to this problem, the presence of the other channel users acts as interference to reception of the desired user's transmission. The present investigation is concerned with a recursive solution in which the recursion parameter is the number of vectors in the sum. A mathematical characterization of such a solution is presented, taking into account the simple two-vector case in which a well-known closed form result is possible. Some numerical results are also discussed. It is pointed out that the considered recursive solution provides a break in the bottleneck associated with the exact computation of the error probability performance of multiuser FHMA/MFSK systems and single access MFSK systems corrupted by multitone jamming.

    Double symbol error rates for differential detection of narrow-band FM (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: This paper evaluates the double symbol error rate (average probability of two consecutive symbol errors) in differentially detected narrow-band FM. Numerical results are presented for the special case of MSK with a Gaussian IF receive filter. It is shown that, not unlike similar results previously obtained for the single error probability of such systems, large inaccuracies in predicted performance can occur when intersymbol interference is ignored.

    Tracking performance of symbol synchronizers for Manchester coded data (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The implementation and tracking performance of symbol synchronizers for Manchester coded data is presented with motivation provided by maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation theory. Certain physically relizable closed-loop structures, readily implemented in practice, are suggested by the theory for uncoded data symbols with arbitrary data transition probabilities. The tracking performance of these loops is optimized and comparisons are made among the various configurations over a wide range of system parameters. Although not the major intent of the paper, the acquisition problem is briefly addressed.

    Optimum performance of suppressed carrier receivers with Costas loop tracking (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The performance of suppressed carrier receivers with Costas loop tracking is optimized by proper choice of loop arm filter bandwidth. In particular, it is shown that for a variety of passive arm filter types, there exists, for a given data rate and data signal-to-noise ratio, an optimum filter bandwidth in the sense of minimizing the loop's squaring loss. For the linear theory case, this is equivalent to minimizing the loop's tracking jitter. When symbol synchronization is known, it is shown that by replacing the passive arm filters with active filters, i.e., integrate-and-dump circuits, one can achieve an improvement in carrier-to-noise ratio of as much as 4 to 6 dB depending on the passive arm filter type used for comparison and the value of data signal-to-noise ratio.
