International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 18-21, 2004 / Town & Country Resort, San Diego, California / Multipath propagation consisting largely of specular reflection components is known to be the major
channel impairment in many aeronautical mobile telemetry (AMT) applications. Adaptive equalizers are
not effective against flat fading commonly created by strong power delay profile components
representing small fractions of the transmitted symbol period. Avoidance and diversity techniques are
the only practical means of combating this problem. A new post-detection, no-hit diversity branch
selector is described in this paper. Laboratory and limited flight test data comparing non-diversity,
selection diversity and intermediate frequency (IF) combining techniques are presented.
