TROPO: A Microcomputer Based Troposcatter Communications System Design Program.
Abstract
This thesis presents a microcomputer based, computer-aided design program for tactical military tropospheric scatter radio systems. The program has the capability of predicting the system performance and reliability for both analog (FM/FDM) and digital troposcatter radiolinks for both analog (FM/FDM) and digital tropospheric ducting is called height gain. A height gain computational model for specific elevated tropospheric ducts is derived from statistical radiosonde data. A terrain profile plot, real time radiosonde data analysis, and the probability of error for digital radiolinks are provided as program options. Keywords include: Troposcatter; Over-the-Horizon Communications; Height Gain; and Tropospheric Ducting.
