Performance Monitors for Digital Communications Systems Part II.

Abstract

The report consists of three parts. The first part investigates performance monitors for a digital system that uses a three-level partial response wave form for digital signaling. A hybrid simulation of such a system was made and various methods of amplifying the bit error rate were investigated. It was found that a null zone detection scheme was the best monitor. The second section of the report investigates an extension of the pseudo-error concept from DCEO H700-1 to a monitor scheme that examines the received signal and classifies the signal in various bins. The report discusses the relation between the number of signals received in each bin with various sources of system degradation. This approach shows promise for fault isolation. The third section of the report deals with the problem of synchronization in a digital system. It shows how synchronization can be monitored by estimating the statistical parameters of buffer storage.
