Error performance measurements on an experimental 12/14 GHz satellite link
Abstract
This correspondence presents results related to measuring the error performance of an experimental 12/14 GHz satellite link established between Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, and NASA Ames Research Center, California, in 1976-1977. The measurements were performed on a 9.6 kbit/s voiceband data channel which supported the continuous synchronous transmission of fixed length frames (composite packets). The results include measurements of packet error rate versus uplink power settings under various atmospheric conditions, densities of packet error-free interval lengths, within-packet error statistics, and propagation delay variations.
