Multifunction TDMA Techniques.

Abstract

This report presents a background discussion and general overview of the design of prototype equipment fabricated to demonstrate the feasibility of TDMA systems. Problems and options associated with the design of the equipment consisting of prototype TDMA modems and a satellite simulator which employs an adaptive null-steering array (ANSA) are presented in varying degrees of detail. Also, potential applications are identified and discussed briefly. As a result of the work performed during this contract it has been possible to definitely establish that TDMA and ANSA techniques are practical means for improving the efficiency and capability of satellite relay communications systems.
