Space-Time Coding for Aeronautical Telemetry: Part I - System Description

Abstract

This paper described the design and implementation of a prototype transmitter and a prototype demodulator/decoder for space-time coded SOQPSK-TG for aeronautical telemetry. The design exercise showed that the space-time coding concept can be reduced to hardware. The laboratory bit error rate tests showed that the performance of the prototype demodulator in a 2-transmit/1-receive antenna configuration is comparable to that of existing SOQPSK demodulators in a 1-transmit/1-receive antenna configuration.
