Abstract:
By utilizing chirp-BOK (binary orthogonal keying) modulation into a troposphere scattering communication system, a lower demodulation threshold can be achieved with excellent linear frequency modulation properties in a strong noise and weak signal environment. Firstly, the bit error rate (BER) formula of chirp-BOK modulation over a Rayleigh fading channel was derived theoretically. Then, the BER performance with different chirp-BOK parameters were numerically calculated. In order to investigate the performance of chirp-BOK over deeping fading troposphere scattering link, a seven-path equal-delay Rayleigh fading model was employed. Finally, the system BER performance was simulated under different tap delay and time-bandwidth product parameters. The results demonstrate that when BER reaches 10-4, the optimal configuration of the system achieves a gains approximately from 1.7 dB to 10 dB compared to non-optimized configuration under different Path-Gain-Vector with varying tap delays.
