TESTING OF DIGITAL DATA TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS

Abstract

This report describes tests performed on various communication systems to determine their capability to pass digital data. A collection of test results from many sources has been gathered. Experiments on HF, VHF, UHF and SHF radios, and on cable and wire systems, etc., are included. Preliminary results of several experimental programs which have not been published previously are presented. An analysis of the data is made. The significance of the results in terms of specifying and designing a communication channel to optimize its inter-operation with a data processing system is explained. An outline is presented of further tests required to determine basic communication limitations, to discover causes of digital errors, and to verify specific data/ communication system performance.
