Digital Communications Systems: Test and Evaluation Studies. Volume I. Summary.

Abstract

This is the final report to be prepared for the Material Test Division, Instrumentation and Methodology Branch, of the U.S. Army Electronic Proving Ground, Fort Huachuca, Arizona, under Contract DAEA18-74-A-0271/0004 and 0005. The purpose of the contract was to undertake a program of applied research to provide comprehensive standards and test methodologies, including recommended instrumentation, data collection, data reduction, and analysis criteria for digital communications systems and equipment. The primary objective was to identify meaningful, measurable parameters, recommend instrumentation required to obtain these measurements, and to provide analysis methodologies and performance criteria. The scope of the overall study was focused on those measurable parameters that are purely digital in nature or relate directly to the digital error performance of the equipment or system being examined. The purpose of this portion of the final report is to provide a brief summary of the previous reports arranged according to specific areas of interest. The general categories are Digital communications Theory, Evaluation of System Performance, Instrumentation and Methodologies, Reduction of Test Time, and A New Technique for Equipment alignment. Each area within these general categories is referenced to the specific sections in the earlier reports where complete detailed information can be obtained.(Author)
