Space - Time Coding for Aeronautical Telemetry : Part I — System Description

چکیده
This paper described the design and implementation of a prototype transmitter and a prototype demodulator/decoder for space-time coded SOQPSK-TG for aeronautical telemetry. The design exercise showed that the space-time coding concept can be reduced to hardware. The laboratory bit error rate tests showed that the performance of the prototype demodulator in a 2-transmit/1-receive antenna configuration is comparable to that of existing SOQPSK demodulators in a 1-transmit/1receive antenna configuration.

Space-time Coding for Aeronautical Telemetry: Part Ii – Experimental Results
Experiments involving side-by-side comparisons of traditional two-antenna transmissions and space-time coded (STC) transmissions involving two transmit antennas confirm theoretical predictions that space time coding is effective in removing signal dropouts caused by the “twoantenna problem.” The experiments involved real transmitters on an airborne platform and a prototype demodulator operating...
متن کاملOrthogonal Transmit Diversity for Self - Interference Suppression in Multi - Antenna Telemetry Links
One problem encountered in aeronautical telemetry is that during aircraft maneuvering, the transmission path is often obstructed by the air vehicle. Therefore. a second antenna is commonly placed on the aircraft to ensure a clear transmission path for all attitudes. However, when both antennas are in view of the receiver, this leads to an array interference pattern generally characterized by a ...
متن کاملDiscrete-time Channelizers for Aeronautical Telemetry: Part I — Fixed Bandwidth
A discrete-time channelizer based on a polyphase filter bank and suitable for use with aeronautical telemetry is described. The discrete-time approach reduces the number of continuous-time components — and the need to maintain and calibrate these components. Channel selection is accomplished by changing a single parameter that defines a small part of the system. INTRODUCTION A channelizer is a ...
متن کاملComparison of Alamouti and Differential Space-time Codes for Aeronautical Telemetry Dual-antenna Transmit Diversity
The placement of two antennas on an air vehicle is one possible practice for overcoming signal obstruction created by vehicle maneuvering during air-to-ground transmission. Unfortunately, for vehicle attitudes where both antennas have a clear path to the receiving station, this practice also leads to self-interference nulls, resulting in dramatic degradation in the average signal integrity. Thi...
متن کاملPerformance of Turbo Coded Ofdm Modulation over an Aeronautical Channel
The main objectives of Integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) are increased data rate and improved spectral efficiency. In this paper we propose the transmission scheme for the physical layer to be coded Quadrature Amplitude Modulation-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (QAM OFDM) which enables high data rates and spectrum efficiency. However in high mobility scenarios, the channe...
