A Comparison of Immunity to Garbling for Three Candidate Modulating Schemes for DABS (Discrete Address Beacon System).
Abstract
The performance of three candidate modulation schemes for DABS is analyzed and a comparison on the basis of probability of error per bit is made. The three types of modulation are PAM, DPSK, and FSK. The results show that, at a given level of interference and signal-to-noise ratio, DPSK and FSK have a lower P sub e/bit than PAM and this difference is significant in most cases. In addition to P sub e/bit, however, the choice of modulation and message format depends on the capacity required, bandwidth occupancy, and cost of implementation. This list consideration is especially important with regard to the transponder. (Author)
