Channel Equalization and Spatial Diversity for Aeronautical Telemetry Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
This work explores aeronautical telemetry communication performance with the SOQPSKTG ARTM waveforms when frequency-selective multipath corrupts received information symbols. A multi-antenna equalization scheme is presented where each antenna’s unique multipath channel is equalized using a pilot-aided optimal linear minimum mean-square error filter. Following independent channel equalization, a maximal ratio combining technique is used to generate a single receiver output for detection. This multi-antenna equalization process is shown to improve detection performance over maximal ratio combining alone.

Capacity Enhancement in Aeronautical Channels with Mimo Technology
This paper shows how the application of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) communication methods can enhance telemetry systems. The main contribution of MIMO to the communication system is improving spectral efficiency by exploiting spatial diversity of multiple antennas. For communications using high order QAM modulated signals, a blind MIMO equalizer is proposed in earlier works. In this w...

In this paper, we investigate the performance of a serially concatenated CPM-OFDM (Continuous Phase Modulation Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) scheme in various frequency selective fading environments that are typical for aeronautical telemetry. CPM-OFDM is a novel modulation technique that assigns the sampled, complex outputs of a CPM to a set of orthogonal subcarriers for a DFT-pr...

In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

متن کاملNarrowband channel model for aeronautical telemetry
A narrowband channel model for multipath fading in aeronautical telemetry applications is described. This channel is composed of a line-of-sight signal, a specular reflection whose strength is 20% to 80% that of the line-of-sight signal, and a diffuse multipath component whose power is 10 to 20 dB less than that of the line-of-sight signal. Thus the channel is close to additive white Gaussian n...
