ITC/USA 2009 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Fifth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 26-29, 2009 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper will provide recommended channel spacing requirements when the Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) System is utilized in conjunction with airborne telemetry systems at airborne test ranges. The recommendation will be in the form of an equation similar in form to the adjacent channel interference (ACI) equation currently in the Telemetry Standard IRIG-106. Test results will be presented to support this recommendation.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Organizations such as the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and various commercial entities use a wide range of spectral efficiency criteria in different broadcast and wireless system applications. These criteria and related specifications have significant differences. This paper briefly reviews some common adjacent channel interference (ACI) definitions as well as issues surrounding the definition of spectral efficiency. The impact of these parameters on system bit error rate (BER) performance and closely "packed" adjacent signals is described. ACI criteria and spectral efficiency definitions considered appropriate for existing telemetry applications and deployment of new generations of spectrally efficient systems are illustrated. Specific ACI and spectral efficiency performance requirements adopted by the Department of Defense (DoD) and Advanced Range Telemetry (ARTM) project are highlighted.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Bit errors often occur in a wireless communications link when impairments alter the transmitted signal. It is advantageous to be able to predict how well a system will tolerate transmission problems. This paper details laboratory performance measurements and comparisons in terms of evaluating configurations of a digital receiver for Feher patented Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (FQPSK-B) demodulation. The transmitted signal is subjected to calibrated levels of impairments while the receiver performance is monitored in real-time.
