Wideband PCM-FM Bit Error Probability Using Discriminator Detection

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 08-11, 1968 / Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, CaliforniaThe expression for bit probability of PCM/FM is derived for a receiver with an IF bandwidth equal to or greater than the data rate, limiter-discriminator detection; followed by a post-detection filter with bandwidth equal to the data rate. The optimum deviation ratio is shown to be essentially constant regardless of the IF bandwidth-to-data rate ratio and system performance is shown to degrade when this ratio is greater than unity. Pre-modulation filtering of the transmitted PCM data is experimentally tested and the analytical results are shown to good agreement with experimental data.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
