A Bit Error Rate Analysis of Offset QPSK over the Aeronautical Telemetry Multipath ChannelDang, Xiaoyu 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The impact of multipath fading parameters on the probability of error for Offset QPSK (OQPSK)
is derived. The multipath fading channel is modeled using the aeronautical telemetry channel
model [1-2]. Expressions for the probability of bit error are derived that are a function of the multipath
model parameters. The expressions are shown to agree with computer simulations and show
that a strong multipath reflection with a short delay causes much more degradation than a weak
multipath reflection with a long delay.

A POLARIZATION-AGILE RADIATION TECHNIQUE FOR TESTING TELEMETRY RECEIVING SITES AT WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGEVines, Roger, Shaw, Stephen 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Telemetry receiving sites at missile test ranges almost always use polarization diversity to maximize the quality of the telemetry signals collected from missiles during developmental tests. If the sites are operating optimally, their sensitivity should be independent of received polarization. In this paper a technique to test the sensitivity of each receiving site is presented that involves radiating from a central location with selectable polarization and precise power level. Results of testing five telemetry sites are presented and compared with performance predicted through link analysis using site G/T and location information.

ENCRYPTED BIT ERROR RATE TESTINGGuadiana, Juan M., Macias, Fil 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / End-to-End testing is a tool for verifying that Range Telemetry (TM) System Equipment will deliver satisfactory performance throughout a planned flight test. A thorough test verifies system thresholds while gauging projected mission loading all in the presence of expected interference. At the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico, system tests are routinely conducted by Range telemetry Engineers and technicians in the interest of ensuring highly reliable telemetry acquisition. Even so, flight or integration tests are occasionally halted, unable to complete these telemetry checks. The Navy Standard Missile Program Office and the White Sands Missile Range, have proactively conducted investigations to identify and eliminate problems. A background discussion is provided on the serious problems with the launcher acquisition, which were resolved along the way laying the ground work for effective system testing. Since there were no provisions to test with the decryption equipment an assumption must be made. Encryption is operationally transparent and reliable. Encryption has wide application, and for that reason the above assumption must be made with confidence. A comprehensive mission day encrypted systems test is proposed. Those involved with encrypted telemetry systems, and those experiencing seemingly unexplainable data degradations and other problems with or without encryption should review this information.

End-to-end network throughput enhancement through physical-layer network codingMaeouf, Sofean Ahmed 15 March 2012 (has links)
Physical-Layer Network Coding (PNC) is a promising technique that has great
potentials for improving the achievable data rates of end-to-end flows through higher
packet transmission rates, thereby increasing the overall network throughput. In this
thesis, we study the performance of the PNC transmission techniques for unidirectional
end-to-end flows in multi-hop wireless networks, and compare it with that of the
traditional transmission techniques. We first derive the bit-error rate (BER) that the
PNC transmission technique achieves. Then, using the derived BER, we evaluate and
quantify the achievable network throughput under both the PNC transmission
technique and the traditional technique, where the network throughput is measured as
the aggregate/sum of all end-to-end flows' achievable data rates in the wireless
network. Using extensive simulations, we show that PNC increases the overall
achievable end-to-end flow throughput in multi-hop wireless networks, especially
under medium to high signal-to-noise ratios. / Graduation date: 2012

Performance Evaluation of Pattern Reconfigurable Antennas in MIMO SystemsZhou, Yu 17 August 2012 (has links)
With the fast adoption of LTE and IEEE 802.11N, more devices are employing multiple antennas to boost the data rate and reliability of the communication link. Traditionally, fixed antennas are used in such devices. In recent years, reconfigurable antennas have been sought out to further boost the performance, which can adaptor to the changing wireless channel by altering their radiation characteristics, and maintain or exceed the performance of fixed antennas. This thesis studies the possibility of performance increase using pattern reconfigurable antennas as receivers. Their performance potential was first estimated using simulations, and then demonstrated using two electrically steerable passive array radiator (ESPAR) antennas against a pair of monopole antennas on a hardware bit error rate (BER) testbed. The former produces equal performance in BER with certain pattern combinations and excels in theoretical capacity with substantial lead making pattern reconfigurable antenna a potent option as receiver in MIMO-related
applications.

New Step Down Procedures for Control of the Familywise Error RateYang, Zijiang January 2008 (has links)
The main research topic in this dissertation is the development of the closure method of multiple testing procedures. Considering a general procedure that allows the underlying test statistics as well as the associated parameters to be dependent, we first propose a step-down procedure controlling the FWER, which is defined as the probability of committing at least one false discovery. Holm (1979) first proposed a step-down procedure for multiple hypothesis testing with a control of the familywise error rate (FWER) under any kind of dependence. Under the normal distributional setup, Seneta and Chen (2005) sharpened the Holm procedure by taking into account the correlations between the test statistics. In this dissertation, the Seneta-Chen procedure is further modified yielding a more powerful FWER controlling procedure. We then advance our research and propose another step-down procedure to control the generalized FWER (k-FWER), which is defined as the probability of making at least k false discoveries. We compare our proposed k-FWER procedure with the Lehmann and Romano (2005) procedure. The proposed k-FWER procedure is more powerful, particularly when there is a strong dependence in the tests. When the proportion of true null hypotheses is expected to be small, the traditional tests are usually conservative by a factor associated with pi0, which is the proportion of true null hypotheses among all null hypotheses. Under independence, two procedures controlling the FWER and the k-FWER are proposed in this dissertation. Simulations are carried out to show that our procedures often provide much better FWER or k-FWER control and power than the traditional procedures. / Statistics
