Investigation of the Use of Frequency-Division Multiple Access for Application with a Mix of User Terminals. Volume II. Appendices.

Abstract

Volume Two comprises three appendices giving detailed analyses of the problem areas in the investigation of the use of FDMA with a mix of user terminals of differing characteristics. Appendix A deals with the limiter transfer characteristic and provides a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the problem of transmitting a number of constant-envelope, phase-modulated FDMA carriers through a limiting satellite repeater. Appendix B analyzes the problem of detection of quadriphase-modulated FDMA carriers at the receiver after transmission through a limiting transponder. An expression for the bit-error probability at the output of an FDMA channel is obtained considering the presence of other FDMA carriers, cross products, and retransmitted up-link as well as down-link noise at the receiver input. Appendix C describes the computer program SYSCON. It also discusses the equations and subroutines used in system optimization. (Author)
