Description
Summary:International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1987 / Town and Country Hotel, San Diego, California === The sharing of C-band between microwave terrestrial and satellite communication systems invariably introduces interference from one system into the other. Such co-channel interference becomes even more important in satellite receive stations with smaller antennas and must be minimized to achieve system performance objectives. In this paper, co-channel interference due to two TD2 (FDM/FM) carriers into a satellite receive system, receiving binary phase-shift keyed (BPSK) signal, is considered. It is shown that the frequency offset of the TD2 carriers from the BPSK carrier can be used to minimize co-channel interference effects. Equations are given which compute the bit error rate (BER) of BPSK signals in the presence of an interfering unmodulated carrier. They are followed by some results due to TD2 carrier interference.
