Abstract:SUMMARYIn this paper the performance of a concatenated coding scheme is evaluated over a slow Rayleigh fading HF ionospheric link with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Well-known Ungerboeck TCM techniques onto an 8-PSK signal set are used as inner codes and Reed}Solomon block codes as outer codes. The coded/modulated signal is further di!erentially encoded before transmission to combat random phase changes. Block interleaving techniques are necessary to randomise long bursts of errors caused by the fading… Show more
