Antenna Arraying Techniques in the Deep Space Network by David H. Rogstad,Alexander Mileant,Timothy T. Pham Pdf

An introduction to antenna Arraying in the Deep Space network Antenna arraying is the combining of the output from several antennas in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal. Now implemented at the Goldstone Complex and other Deep Space Network (DSN) overseas facilities, antenna arraying provides flexible use of multiple antennas to increase data rates and has enabled NASA's DSN to extend the missions of some spacecraft beyond their planned lifetimes. Antenna Arraying Techniques in the Deep Space Network introduces the development and use of antenna arraying as it is implemented in the DSN. Drawing on the work of scientists at JPL, this timely volume summarizes the development of antenna arraying and its historical background; describes key concepts and techniques; analyzes and compares several methods of arraying; discusses several correlation techniques used for obtaining the combined weights; presents the results of several arraying experiments; and suggests directions for future work. An important contribution to the scientific literature, Antenna Arraying Techniques in the Deep Space Network * Was commissioned by the JPL Deep Space Communications and Navigation Systems (DESCANSO) Center of Excellence * Highlights many NASA-funded technical contributions pertaining to deep space communications systems * Is a part of the prestigious JPL Deep Space Communications and Navigation Series The Deep Space Communications and Navigation Series is authored by scientists and engineers with extensive experience in astronautics, communications, and related fields. It lays the foundation for innovation in the areas of deep space navigation and communications by disseminating state-of-the-art knowledge in key technologies.

Forward Error Correction Schemes for Data Communication Through Underwater Channel by Dr. Raj Kumar Goswami Pdf

The primary endeavor of this book is to provide an insight to the Forward Error Correction schemes so as to transfer the extracted features of the detected objects along with any intended data in a reliable manner through underwater channel. The main challenge with respect to the development of the coding techniques is the phenomena governing the propagation of signals through the underwater channel. It offers the biggest challenge imposing severe limitations on the effective throughput of transmission. The major problems encountered in the underwater channel are related to time-varying ISI and frequency-selective fading. An extensive literature review has also been presented with respect to Error Correction Coding schemes. This survey provided the necessary base for formulating the design alternatives. These alternatives attempted to exploit the recent advances in the error correction coding techniques, for data communication through underwater channel. Factors like design and implementation complexity of error correction schemes and the amount of overheads involved in transmission have also been considered in the critical assessment of these alternatives. An overview of the Sonar theory has also been presented along with the brief introduction of the forward-looking Sonars. The types of Forward-Looking Sonars have also been discussed in very brief. A comparison of the general parameters of the terrestrial and underwater systems is also carried out along with the variations in the path loss offered by the two systems with frequency and distance. The characteristics of propagation in the underwater medium are also elaborated. Underwater Channel modeling is also introduced in the book along with a study of the Rician and Rayleigh models which characterize the fading environment. The Rician and Rayleigh distributions are compared in terms of their application to real world scenarios. In the real underwater scenario, there is also a direct path along with the diffused/ indirect paths. Therefore, the most suitable model that can be used for testing the designed coding schemes is the Rician Fading model (K-factor = 2) along with the Additive White Gaussian Noise. The various Forward Error Correction Schemes have been discussed for the purpose of achieving reliable transmission of the formulated data block. The designs of the two Convolutional coding schemes i.e. rate 1/n and rate n/(n+1) have also been presented. It is observed from the comparison of Convolutional and TCM coding schemes that improvement in the performance of either code can be obtained with increase in the coding rate. The Turbo Codes have also been introduced and it will be seen that the performance of turbo code is sensitive to its code structure. The problem of the application of turbo codes to underwater communication systems has also been addressed. The main disadvantage of the Turbo codes is their long latency due to their relatively large codewords and iterative decoding process. However, the Turbo codes score over the Convolutional and the TCM codes in that they can be made sufficiently random to achieve a given BER and by using iterative methods, can be efficiently and feasibly decoded. The designed coding algorithm has been incorporated into the various configurations of the Turbo coding scheme. The variation in the configurations is in the coding rate and the number of states. The interleaver used in the design has been chosen as the random interleaver. The Turbo Coding Schemes have been designed by implementing the Convolutional coders as the constituent encoders using the proposed design rules. The design has been carried out for the 1/n and the n/(n+1) code rates with various states. The performance analysis of the proposed turbo schemes is also presented in terms of the Bit Error Rate (BER) achieved.

Laser Satellite Communication by William H. Mott IV,Robert Sheldon Pdf

This introduction to the next generation of human telecommunications enterprise examines the development of laser satellite communications and describes its advantages over previous technologies. It looks at the development of the technology and the industry through wired and wireless media and presents the vision, promise, and challenges of free-space lasers. The book balances its focused consideration of the telecommunications industry and markets with practical thoughts on creating a business involved in the introduction of commercial laser satellite communications systems. Scholars, investors, venture capitalists, policy makers, and corporate leaders will find this to be a comprehensive and eye-opening bridge between the existing telecommunications industry and the opportunities of the next generation. The opening chapters introduce the concepts of Migration, Specialization, and Interconnectivity as solutions inherent in third generation laser-satellite communications. The high capacity of the optical spectrum invites migration of applications beyond the narrow RF spectra to the high frequencies of free-space laser beams. Migration stimulates specialization of voice and duplex at the lower, optimal RF spectra. The third generation—laser-wired space—focuses around global satellite interconnectivity between fiber optics and RF. The final chapters introduce a model business concept to pioneer the third generation. Several approaches to capitalization, organization, technology development, and business strategies provide an exciting stimulus for pragmatic approaches to commercial concepts.
