Orthogonal Dual-antenna Transmit Diversity for Soqpsk in Aeronautical Telemetry Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transmit diversity schemes such as the Alamouti space-time code have been shown to be viable candidates to enable robust dual-antenna transmission from maneuvering air vehicles. However, due to the complicated structure of shaped offset quadrature phase shift keying (SOQPSK) modulation, the Alamouti approach has not been applicable to SOQPSK systems. This paper develops a precoding and detection algorithm which allows implementation of dual-antenna Alamouti signaling for SOQPSK modulation. Performance simulations demonstrate the performance of the scheme for a realistic flight scenario.

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

This paper describes the use of orthogonal space-time block codes to overcome the performance and complexity difficulties associated with the use of Shaped Offset QPSK (SOQPSK) modulation, a ternary continuous phase modulation (CPM), in multiple-input multiple-output telemetry systems. The orthogonal space-time block code is applied to SOQPSK waveforms in the same way it would be applied to sym...

High data rate communication between airborne vehicles and ground stations over the bandwidth constrained Aeronautical Telemetry channel is attributed to the development of bandwidth efficient Advanced Range Telemetry (ARTM) waveforms. This communication takes place over a multipath channel consisting of two components a line of sight and one or more ground reflected paths which result in frequ...
