ERROR STATISTICS OF A-1 DIGITAL DATA SIGNALLING EQUIPMENT OVER VARIOUS MEDIA

Abstract

As part of the research effort in digital data communications, the A-1 Digital Data System was tested. The telephone circuits used for transmission were two K-carrier circuits, three TD-3 (microwave) circuits, and one H-44 cable. Lengths of the looped circuits were from 300 to 870 miles. Both the cable and the K-carrier circ it showed an average error rate of 1 in 100,000 or better, whereas the microwave circuits tended to be at least one magnitude worse. (Author)
