Error-correcting codes against the worst-case partial-band jammer
Abstract
Performance analyses of a broad spectrum of error-correcting codes in an antijam communication system under worst-case partial-band noise jamming conditions are provided. These analyses demonstrate the coding advantages available for systems operating with and without frequency diversity. Utilizing both the exact approach (where possible) and upper-bounding approaches (Chernoff and union bounds), the decoded bit error rates for typical error-correcting codes (binary and M-ary, block and convolutional) have been obtained, and these codes have been compared according to the E sub b/N sub 0 required to achieve a bit error rate of 0.0001. The best performance is achieved with the use of M-ary signaling and optimum diversity with M-ary codes, such as Reed-Solomon block codes, dual-k convolutional codes, convolutional orthogonal codes, or concatenated codes.
