Simultaneous Non-Homogeneous Multiple Access Techniques.

Abstract

The possibility of using simultaneous non-homogeneous multiple access techniques through a common transponder channel was investigated. Three configurations were analyzed: (1) a single time division multiple access, (2) several frequency division multiple accesses, and (3) the combined accesses of configurations (1) and (2). Each of the configurations was studied in three disjoint segments: (1) the bandwidth and shape of the power spectrum for various modulating waveforms, (2) the probability for error for linear PSK and non-linear PSK systems, and (3) the distortion effects that a signal experiences through a non-linearity. Each segment was studied in detail independently of the others. The comprehensive analysis accomplished on each segment, when joined into a system, allows the end-to-end channel characterization.
