MULTIPATH AND SCATTER COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES

Abstract

THIS ANALYSIS PRESENTS SOME RESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION OF RANDOM-MULTIPATH- AND SCATTER-COMMUNICATION CHANNELS AND OF COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES APPLICABLE TO SUCH CHANNELS. The limiting bounds imposed on the performance of adaptive matched-filter receiver techniques by channelsounding errors are evaluated for a wide range of behavior in practical multipath-channel models. The performance characteristics of a class of incoherent communication techniques that require no channel-sounding provisions are considered. Power requirements and bandwidth requirements per unit informaion transmission rate are evaluated and compared for these techniques an d for differentially coherent narrow-band techniques under similar conditions.
