An approach to effective UHF (S/L band) data communications for satellite Personal Communication Service (PCS)
Reliable signaling information transfer is fundamental in supporting the needs of data communication PCS via LMS (Land Mobile Service) SSs (satellite systems). The needs of the system designer can be satisfied only through the collection of media information that can be brought to bear on the pertinent design issues. We at ISI hope to continue our dialogue with fading media experts to address the unique data communications needs of PCS via LMS SSs

spectra in elementary cellular automata and fractal signals
We systematically compute the power spectra of the one-dimensional elementary
cellular automata introduced by Wolfram. On the one hand our analysis reveals
that one automaton displays spectra though considered as trivial, and on
the other hand that various automata classified as chaotic/complex display no
spectra. We model the results generalizing the recently investigated
Sierpinski signal to a class of fractal signals that are tailored to produce
spectra. From the widespread occurrence of (elementary) cellular
automata patterns in chemistry, physics and computer sciences, there are
various candidates to show spectra similar to our results.Comment: 4 pages (3 figs included

Sierpinski signal generates spectra
We investigate the row sum of the binary pattern generated by the Sierpinski
automaton: Interpreted as a time series we calculate the power spectrum of this
Sierpinski signal analytically and obtain a unique rugged fine structure with
underlying power law decay with an exponent of approximately 1.15. Despite the
simplicity of the model, it can serve as a model for spectra in a
certain class of experimental and natural systems like catalytic reactions and
mollusc patterns.Comment: 4 pages (4 figs included). Accepted for publication in Physical
