An experimental course on digital communications

In this paper a laboratory course on digital communications is presented. This course has been designed for medium degree professionals in the telecommunications field, and it is based on training equipment developed to change the usual theoretical classrooms for laboratory seminars.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Overview of timing/synchronization for digital communications

Systems in general, and switched systems in particular, are explained. It pointed out some of the criteria that greatly influence timing/synchronization subsystem design for a military communications network but have little or no significance for civil systems. Timing techniques were evaluated in terms of fundamental features. Different combinations of these features covered most possibilities from which a synchronous timing system could be chosen

A flight investigation of simulated data link communications during single-pilot IFR flight

A Flight Data Console (FDC) was developed to allow simulation of a digital communications link to replace the current voice communication system used in air traffic control (ATC). The voice system requires manipulation of radio equipment, read-back of clearances, and mental storage of critical information items, all contributing to high workload, particularly during single-pilot operations. This was an inflight study to determine how a digital communications system might reduce cockpit workload, improve flight proficiency, and be accepted by general aviation pilots. Results show that instrument flight, including approach and landing, can be accomplished quite effectively using a digital data link system for ATC communications. All pilots expressed a need for a back-up voice channel. When included, this channel was used sparingly and principally to confirm any item of information about which there might be uncertainty
