A Fading Reduction Technique Using Interleave-Aided Open Loop Space Diversity for Digital Maritime-Satellite Communications
Summary :
In maritime satellite communications particularly for low G/T earth stations, multipath fading becomes a serious problem, especially at low elevation angles. In this paper, we show a new fading reduction scheme for sea surface reflection applicable to INMARSAT-C system. This method using open-loop-controlled diversity combined with an FEC and a interleaver overcomes the disadvantages generally associated with a conventional diversity system. This method has a respectable fading reduction effect, moreover, it can shorten the interleave length. We evaluate these effects of the system by a computer simulation and discuss its performance. The applicability of this fading reduction technique is not only to the INMARSAT-C but also to any kind of digital communication systems where interleave, FEC, and diversity can be used.
