| Summary: | A unified approach to adaptive antenna array design and transceiver signal processing architectures is proposed for the user segment of the Land Mobile Satellite communications service. It is suggested that a diversity based receiver architecture would allow the coherent recombination of the multipath signal energy present at the mobile terminal site, and thereby enhance system performance for a given link budget. Further, it is recommended that this processing can be most simply achieved if a pilot-based modulation format is utilised, and near instantaneous adaptation to the multipath energy if feedforward signal regeneration techniques are employed in the receiver. |
