This paper describes a method of measuring the frequency response of a digital radio link given the received (modulated) message signal, suitable for the incremental commissioning and in-service monitoring of links in a QPSK/TDMA system. The method applies least squares estimation techniques to samples of the I and Q baseband components in order to derive a linear equivalent model for the channel. Results obtained by computer simulation of an INTELSAT V channel demonstrate that the method can provide a better basis for linear equalization of a non-linear channel than the frequency response measurements provided by conventional techniques. A mathematical formulation and an implementation overview are also given.

The evolution of IDR digital carrier performance requirements, a summary of their characteristics, and some of the trade‐offs made in the selection of various IDR parameters are described in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
