Pulse Code Modulation Telemetry: Properties of Various Binary Modulation Types

摘要

This report describes the results of a study that was conducted to determine the properties of several binary pulse code modulation types. The topics addressed include: (1) Radio frequency spectral occupancy, (2) Bit error rate versus intermediate frequency signal-to-noise ratio in a bandwidth equal to the bit rate, (3) Peak carrier deviation, (4) Effect of filtering on data quality, and (5) Frequency and phase modulation.
