Reduced State Viterbi Detector Demonstration.

Abstract

Early work on a new detection method applicable to band-limited satellite channels was extended. The method, termed reduced-state Viterbi detection, is a derivative of the Viterbi algorithm. In the study reported here, the potential of combining Viterbi detection of band-limited sequences with Viterbi decoding of error-correction codes was examined through simulation. A breadboard reduced-state detector was designed, and results were obtained from actual test. These results verified the predictions of the earlier study and showed that reduced state detection can lead to significant increases in band-limited satellite channel performance. (Author)
