HIGH GAIN ANTENNA TECHNIQUES.

Abstract

A synchronizing technique for use in time division multiple access systems is described in detail. The approach utilizes a pulsed-envelope delay-lock loop in both the network-clock and ranging signal receivers. The feasibility of the technique has been demonstrated through implementation of a prototype network-clock receiver. Analytical and preliminary experimental results pertaining to synchronization accuracies are given. Representative data collected on the link performance characteristics of several satellites launched for the Initial Defense Communications Satellite Project (IDCSP) are reported. Results of other studies which have been pursued are summarized. (Author)
