      <title>INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM LOCALIZER RECEIVER PERFORMANCE IN THE PRESENCE OF CO-CHANNEL INTERFERENCE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/177593</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Co-channel signals can cause harmful interference to navigational aid systems such as the Instrument Landing System. This report describes the performance of four localizer receivers in the presence of interference from co-channel CW (Continuous Wave), PSK (Phase Shift Keying), FSK (Frequency Shift Keying), and FM (Frequency Modulation) signals. The receiver parameters monitored during the measurements were course deviation voltage, warning flag voltage, AGC (Automatic Gain Control) voltage, and audio distortion. Measurement results are reported as the minimum signal-to-interference ratio required to keep each monitored parameter from exceeding specified bounds. Course deviation voltage is the most sensitive parameter to the co-channel interference.]]></description>

      <title>PERFORMANCE OF A Q-M/PSK DATA MODEM OPERATING IN A VOICE AND DATA MODE THROUGH THE ATS-6 SATELLITE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/69904</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Experiments were conducted in cooperation with the Communications Research Center (CRC) of Canada to gather additional performance data on the error statistics of the digital data channel of the Q-M/PSK Voice and Data Modem, while operating in the hybrid (simultaneous) voice and data mode. These data are to supplement the data collected in the 1974-75 ATS-6 satellite tests to provide additional information about the performance of the data portion of the modem when operating in a gaussian noise (no multipath) environment. Flight tests were conducted from 14 to 24 March 1977, in three locations: two in Canada at a 9 deg. elevation angle to the satellite and one near Bermuda at a 5 deg. elevation angle. Signals were transmitted from the Communications Research Center ground station at L-Band (1650 MHz) to the ATS-6 where they were relayed to the aircraft at 1550 MHz and received and recorded for post-flight tests. All flight tests were successfully completed and a large amount of data were collected. Results indicate a bit error rate on the order of 2 dB closer to theoretical for DECPSK than in the previous ATS-6 tests, and in close agreement with laboratory and acceptance test data.

      <title>QM/PSK VOICE/DATA MODEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/41513</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Two Quadrature Modulation/Phase Shift Keyed (QM/PSK) Voice/Data Modem systems have been developed as part of the satellite communications hardware for advanced air traffic control systems. These systems consist of a modulator and demodulator unit which provides for the one-way communication of voice and/or data signals. The modulator and demodulator unit provides simultaneous transmission of analog voice and digital data signals multiplexed on a single carrier, using quadrature modulation techniques. The modem interfaces with the transmitter/receiver at 70 MHz intermediate frequency. The report contains design theory, circuit descriptions, diagrams, calibration procedures, and laboratory test results. (Author)]]></description>

      <title>STUDY PROGRAM FOR ANALYZING DATA HANDLING CAPABILITY OF A 240 HZ. SLOT WITHIN A NORMAL VOICE BAND</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/82740</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The program covered a research phase as well as a laboratory testing phase, to determine the feasibility of handling data in a 240 Hz slot within the normal voice band over an unconditioned 3002 transmission line. The goals were to determine the maximum data rate and the effects on voice quality. The maximum data error rate was specified as .0001, which included choosing a mod./demod. technique, and the design of filters for notching the voice band and bandpassing the data. Both theoretical and practical aspects of implementing a data slot technique are discussed, along with schematics, tables, and graphs illustrating filter, modulation, and theoretical characteristics of the applied technique.

      <title>PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF DATA MODEMS FOR THE AERONAUTICAL SATELLITE CHANNEL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/30020</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Several modems and satellite subsystems were tested with the aid of an aeronautical channel simulation facility. The modems tested included a high performance DPSK modem, a high performance CPSK modem, two hybrid voice/data modems, and a lower performance CPSK modem. Data Performance results are presented in the form of Probability of Bit Error versus Signal to Noise Density and Signal to Multipath Ratios with Doppler Spread as a parameter. Some tests were conducted with a hard limiting IF processor in cascade with the channel simulator to simulate satellite characteristics. The characteristics of the aeronautical satellite channel simulator are also described. The discussion concludes with a general evaluation of the effect of aeronautical satellite channel characteristics on modem performance, as derived from the simulation experiments.
