Research on Devices for the Detection of Weak Signals

摘要

Reported are the principal results of a study of weaksignal communication techniques. These results include an evaluation of the communications potential associated with a typical time-varying channel, determination of efficient weak-signal detector configurations consistent with such channels, derivation of the threshold preformance for one such configuration for phase-feedback controlled parameter demodulation, and an introduction to the design details of an automatic bandwidth-controlled demodulator. The report contains a detailed description of an implementation of these ideas along with a summarization of technical results.
