Simulated error rate performance of nonlinear receivers in atmospheric noise
Abstract
In this paper simulated error rate performance is obtained for several receivers operating with binary modulation in the presence of atmospheric noise. A linear correlator and a bandpass limiter/linear correlator are used in the simulation to demodulate binary PSK and binary DPSK. A logarithmic correlator is used to demodulate binary PSK. The performance is obtained for a variety of atmospheric noise conditions using Hall and truncated Hall noise models. The results indicate that the bandpass limiter/linear correlator is close in performance to the logarithmic correlator and that both nonlinear receivers offer significant performance gains relative to linear receivers.
