Description of a Speech Modulation Experiment Involving Infinite Clipping,
Abstract
A speech modulation system designed to operate a low carrier-to-noise ratios is described. Infinite speech clipping and phase-shift keying are used in the system, which occupies a bandwidth of 10 kHz. Sample speech tapes were produced at simulated carrier-to-noise ratios varying from +10 to -3 dB. The corresponding ratio of carrier power to noise power per unit bandwidth was varied from 50 to 37 dB above 1 Hz. In the simulated circuit, a 20-kHz biasing tone is used to suppress noise during pauses in speech. A phase lock loop in the receiver that is used to derive the detector reference is described. Some preliminary results determined by the use of the simulated link are presented. (Author)
