ONE METHOD FOR TV PICTURE TRANSMISSION OVER TROPOSPHERIC SCATTER COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Risto Bojović and Milorad Mirković

Abstract: In this paper a new method for bandwidth capability enhancement of tropo-scatter communication systems is proposed. First, the most important reasons concerning motivation of the work are indicated. After that, the basic elements of the proposed method are presented, together with the main advantages that can be achieved by this method. Special attention is payed to diversity gain improvement and to higher propagational reliability achievement, as well as to intermodulation distortion reduction and frequency bandwidth ~broadening. At the end, simulation results concerning this method application for one path in Yugoslavia are given.

Keywords: Tropo scatter, television, Rayleigh fading, communications, diversity gain.
