    Solutions are provided to specific problems arising in the GSFC VHF-PSK and VHF-FSK Command Systems in support of establishment and maintenance of Data Systems Standards. Signal structures which incorporate transmission on the uplink of a clock along with the PSK or FSK data are considered. Strategies are developed for allocating power between the clock and data, and spectral analyses are performed. Bit error probability and other probabilities pertinent to correct transmission of command messages are calculated. Biphase PCM/PM and PCM/FM are considered as candidate modulation techniques on the telemetry downlink, with application to command verification. Comparative performance of PCM/PM and PSK systems is given special attention, including implementation considerations. Gain in bit error performance due to coding is also considered

    Adaptive Demodulation in Differentially Coherent Phase Systems: Design and Performance Analysis

    Adaptive Demodulation (ADM) is a newly proposed rate-adaptive system which operates without requiring Channel State Information (CSI) at the transmitter (unlike adaptive modulation) by using adaptive decision region boundaries at the receiver and encoding the data with a rateless code. This paper addresses the design and performance of an ADM scheme for two common differentially coherent schemes: M-DPSK (M-ary Differential Phase Shift Keying) and M-DAPSK (M-ary Differential Amplitude and Phase Shift Keying) operating over AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. The optimal method for determining the most reliable bits for a given differential detection scheme is presented. In addition, simple (near-optimal) implementations are provided for recovering the most reliable bits from a received pair of differentially encoded symbols for systems using 16-DPSK and 16- DAPSK. The new receivers offer the advantages of a rate-adaptive system, without requiring CSI at the transmitter and a coherent phase reference at the receiver. Bit error analysis for the ADM system in both cases is presented along with numerical results of the spectral efficiency for the rate-adaptive systems operating over a Rayleigh fading channel.Comment: 25 pages, 11 Figures, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Communications, June 1, 201

    Frequency-offset insensitive digital modem techniques

    Conventional DPSK systems are adversely affected by transmitter/receiver frequency offsets due to frequency reference errors and Doppler shifts. Two DPSK modem concepts are presented which avoid the long frequency acquisition process of conventional DPSK. One technique involves a modified demodulator for conventional DPSK signals, while the other involves making minor changes to both the modulator and demodulator. Simulation results are provided showing performance relative to conventional DPSK
