USE OF SUNDE TROPO CHANNEL MODEL TO PREDICT ERROR PROBABILITIES OF AMRT TESTS.

Abstract

Details and results of analyses and calculations are provided which were used to compute the error probabilities obtained in transmitting digital data through the Atlantic Missile Range Tropospheric Scatter Communication Channel. This effort provided a communication system model upon which these calculations could be based. The Sunde model of the tropo medeedium was used. Three digital PCM systems were analyzed, and compared to the FDMFM mode of operation. The AN/GSC-4 was used as a data source at 2400 bits/second for one of the 24 voice channels which were being multiplexed. The AN/MRC-98 transmitters and receivers were used on the tests. The results of computation agree with the experimentally measured data. The predictions are compared with the actual results, and the modeling technique is discussed. The satisfactory comparison of theory to experiment leads to the conclusion that the Sunde model of the tropo communication is a good one, and useful for prediction of error probabilities through a particular communication medium.
