Abstract The development of the concept of E-navigation in modern shipping makes it necessary to create very reliable lines for the transmission of information packets and the interchange of data via radio networks to a huge number of consumers, practically all over the world. With such a scale, radio communication must be extremely reliable and stable, which is provided by the planetary system of satellite communication channels. The study proposes a method of signal loops of satellite communication systems for diagnosing the quality of the radio path, which will allow quickly localizing the external causes of the deterioration of the linear stability of communication in the absence of deep diagnostics during the daily operation of radio transmitting equipment. The organization of an external loop will make it possible to make a more accurate spatial adjustment of the antenna system to the zone of stable traffic with an increase in the steepness of the guidance system characteristics according to its own signal returned from the loop from the satellite. The external loop allows for more precise tuning of the antenna system of the stations, relative to the “steepness” of your own signal and to localize the external causes of signal deterioration by applying the method of signal loops.

Tropospheric scintillation is referred to rapid fluctuation of received signal amplitude. It can cause propagation impairments that affect satellite communication systems operating at above 10 GHz of frequency. In this work, we have exploited 1 year of measured broadcasting signal data collected in Johor, Malaysia to investigate the effects of scintillation intensity on a SatCom system operating at 11.075 GHz with its links pointed towards the MEASAT-1 satellite (an elevation angle of 75.61°). We have investigated the behavior of this scintillation amplitude through the classification and analysis of a time-series satellite broadcasting signal and have then compared the statistical results with existing scintillation prediction models. The comparison results indicate that there is a significant discrepancy between measured data and those models and that the performance of these prediction models does not appear to be satisfactory, with the exception of the ITU-R and the Ortgies Refractivity model. In addition, we have investigated the diurnal behavior of the scintillation intensity at four different periods of the day and proposed a modified Marzano model to accommodate local meteorological input parameters. The models performances are assessed against the available measurement dataset. The proposed models provide system operators and radio communication engineers with critical information on the fluctuations of tropospheric scintillation variance on the satellite signal during a typical day taken into the account of local meteorological peculiarities.

This work investigates fade dynamics of satellite communication systems in equatorial heavy rain region based on a one year of Ku-band propagation measurement campaign carried out in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Johor, Malaysia. First order statistics of rain attenuation are deduced and the results are found to be in good agreement with those obtained from other beacon measurements gathered within the same area (Kuala Lumpur). Moreover, the fade duration and slope statistics of the satellite signal variations are also carefully derived and subsequently compared with the ITU-R recommendation model. Such information is useful for the system operator and radio communication engineer for the design of appropriate fade mitigation techniques as well as the quality of service that could be offered to the user (according to the time interval for a typical day). Further evaluation on the performances of several ITU-R models in the heavy rain region are needed based on the measurement database available of this climatic region.

In digital communication systems, ARQ and HARQ schemes are employed in order to ensure efficient transmission of information and utilisation of the channel by retransmitting information that has not being received correctly at the receiver. In some applications, however, such as real-time services, the quality of information is degraded if too many retransmission trials are employed for each unit of erroneously received information. The  retransmissions are therefore limited leading to truncated ARQ and HARQ schemes. In this study we develop a new method for deriving the  expressions for the throughput efficiencies of truncated ARQ and HARQ schemes and investigate how the efficiencies vary with the number of allowed retransmissions. Keywords: ARQ, HARQ, Throughput Efficiency, Truncated ARQ.

The article presents the research results of dependence of the signal-to-interference ratio in the focus area of the reflecting antenna array on its length, as well as the influence of the center displacement of the antenna array of different sizes on the signal-to-interference ratio. The research results show that short-focus reflecting antenna arrays have better characteristics than long-focus ones. By displacing the center of the antenna array, the signal-to-interference ratio can be increased by almost 20 dB.

AbstractRain constitutes a major limitation to the performance and use of terrestrial and satellite communication systems with operational frequencies greater than 10 GHz. The situation gets further complicated by fast fluctuations in the received signal amplitude due to in homogeneities in atmospheric weather conditions; a phenomenon known as amplitude scintillation. The concurrent evaluation of the two phenomena guarantees a better fade margin determination for the planning of radio communication over any location. This work employs 3 years of in-situ measurement of temperature, humidity, rainfall rate and rainfall amount for the estimation of tropospheric amplitude scintillation and rain specific attenuation over Akure (7.17° N, 5.18° E, 358 m) South West Nigeria. Davis vantage pro weather station at 1-min integration time was used for the measurement and the ITU models for rain specific attenuation (ITU-R P.838-3) and amplitude scintillation (ITU–R 618-13) were employed for the estimation. Time series and statistical analyses of the phenomena show that rain attenuation is the more prominent cause of signal degradation at Ku-band frequencies. Nevertheless, the need to make an extra fade margin allowance of about 0.25 dB due to amplitude scintillation fade subsists to forestall any loss of synchronization on the link. Also, a 3-parameter power-law expression developed for estimating amplitude scintillation fade from rain attenuation performed excellently well, as indicated by average root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.002151 and 0.8747, respectively.

Modern military radio systems operate in the complex conditions of the electronic environment, due to the limited frequency range, the influence of deliberate interference and signal fading. One of the ways to improve the effectiveness of military radio communication systems is to develop indicators (methods, techniques) for evaluating the effectiveness of military radio communication systems. The analysis found that known approaches to evaluating the performance of military radio communications systems are based on the use of bit error probability in a channel, which is a rather rough indicator of channel estimation. This necessitates the development of theoretical provisions for the transmission of discrete messages to military radio systems. In order to improve the known theoretical provisions for the transmission of discrete messages of military radio communication systems, the authors of the article developed indicators for assessing the quality of functioning of military radio communication systems that operate in complex conditions of electronic conditions. In the course of the study, the authors of the research substantiated two indicators of link quality in the fading channel: the probability of correctly receiving a message of finite duration and the likelihood of a link of finite duration without breaks. The first metric is the overall metric (communication) quality of the communication, and the second metric is the quality of the channel in the session of the final duration. During the research, the authors used the basic principles of communication theory, theories of insecurity, the theory of transmission of discrete messages, etc. The proposed results can be used to evaluate the status of radio channels when they are exposed to a variety of origins and signal fading. The practical significance of these results is that they can be used to upgrade existing radios or to develop new ones by developing appropriate software

A method for automatic modulation classification (AMC) of spectral-effective radio signals generated based on various kinds of roll-off filters is presented. The developed method is intended for automatic radio monitoring (RM) of radio emission parameters without demodulation using digital oscilloscopes in order to control compliance with the discipline and radio communication regulations by users of satellite communication systems (SCS). It is proposed to AMC based on the results of the parameters analysis of the phase diagrams (PD) of radio signals. The proposed approach to AMC is based on the idea of displaying radio signals characterized by many different modulation parameters in the form of pattern in the parameter space of PD of continuous phase modulation radio signals (CPM). Developed an alphabet of classes and was proposed a dictionary of features for a variety of alternatives for CPM AMC. To assess the nature of changes in the parameters of the PD of radio signals, reference descriptions of specific classes of the a priori dictionary are obtained, taking into account changes in the variable parameters that form a set of recognition alternatives. The influence of the size of the analyzed fragment and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under the influence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), characteristic of satellite channels, on the quality for CPM AMC, has been estimated. The article substantiates the content of the main stages of the classification of CPM in the parameter space of PD. As a result of statistical experiments, estimates of the probabilities of correct for CPM AMC were obtained.
