Processing techniques for compensating for multiple scattering in TDM and other spectrally shadowed multiplexing systems

摘要

A theoretical analysis of multiple scattering is undertaken. The effect it has upon systems that do not take multiple scattering events or spectral shadowing into account through their signal processing routines is examined. An exact first order compensation scheme and higher order non-exact compensation schemes are developed. A comparison is made between the system performance that is obtained from the uncorrected, first-order corrected and higher-order corrected systems. The comparison makes use of a worst-case time-independent scenario.
