Theoretical Feasibility of Digital Communication over Ocean Areas by High Frequency Radio.

Abstract

The theoretical reliability of digital data transmission via high-frequency radio is examined for typical air traffic routes in the Atlantic and Pacific areas to assist the U.S. Department of Transportation in the evaluation of a system for improving air traffic control over ocean areas. The expected performance of a reference high-frequency data transmission system of 1200 bits per second with a permissible error rate of one in a thousand binary error is expressed as a percentage of time that a given theoretical reliability will be equaled or exceeded. The expected performance of air-to-air HF systems is also considered, and it is concluded that these systems should work for the reference communication system out to the line-of-sight range of about 800 km for high-flying aircraft.
