SATELLITE-AIRCRAFT DIGITAL TRANSMISSION EXPERIMENT RESULTS AT L-BAND

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 09-11, 1973 / Sheraton Inn Northeast, Washington, D.C.Results of an experiment involving the synchronous satellite relay of digital information at L-band between a ground station and a jet aircraft are described. Specific tests studied the performance of PSK signalling in conjunction with three distinct detection strategies for both the classical additive noise channels and the composite multipath channel (direct signal plus multipath). Tests were conducted at various signalto-noise ratios and direct signal-to-multipath ratios. Reasonable agreements with available non-fading and Rician fading channel theory is shown. Implications for the operational aeronautical satellite case are discussed.International Foundation for TelemeteringThis duplicates the published proceedings in that only a summary of this paper was published.Proceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
