MODTEQ (Modulation Techniques), AN/FRC-170(V), Equalization, and Channel Medium Simulations.

Abstract : This report documents the hybrid simulations of LOS Selective Fading Channel Model, AN/FRC-170(V), Modulation Techniques and Hybrid Equalization, designed and maintained by Martin Marietta Aerospace in Orlando, Florida. Areas of special interest to this report are tasks 1 through 4 outlined in statement of work R220-85-011 as part of contract number DCA 100-81 G-0001. Those tasks include maintenance and modification to the existing hybrid simulation of the AN/FRC-170(V) DRAMA radio, modifications, additions, and enhancements to the Advanced Modulation Techniques simulation study, and development of software systems to control and monitor the various simulation models. Keywords include: DRAMA radio, QAM, QPR, PSK, AN/FRC radio, LOS channel, Equalizer, Microwave radio, Frame multiplexing, Hybrid computer sim., and Bit error rates.
