Design and performance of an optimal ratio combiner using AGC and AM weighting
Abstract
In the last decade, the requirements of the Diversity Combiner for Satellite and Missile Telemetry have increased dramatically. The demands placed on modern-day Diversity Combiners have been studied, and a suitable completely new commercial Combiner was designed. The present paper has the objective to point out the improvements in combiner circuitry which have been obtained, taking into account also an analysis of the achieved results. Attention is given to aspects of AM/AGC weighting, the phase lock loop bandwidth, the predetection bandwidth, the postdetection video bandwidth, and the theory of operation.
