Wideband Digital Transmitter/Receiver

Abstract

A laboratory test was conducted to evaluate the bit error rate performance of a 500 Mbps Ka-band demonstration link. Three types of modulation were evaluated; MSK, coherent QPSK, and differentially coherent QPSK. Theoretical calculations which predicted that MSK would be superior to both forms of QPSK were confirmed. Complete performance data including BER, waveform photographs, and spectrum occupancy is presented.
