The design and performance of a modem for land mobile satellite communicationsThe digital implementation and performance of a multipath fade-tolerant differentially coherent 8-PSK-based modem for a land mobile satellite experiment (MSAT-X) program is described. At the receiver, differential detection using a matched filter arrangement and feedforward Doppler compensation is employed to achieve several operational benefits. For this L-band satellite link, the channel utilization is an efficient 1.0 bps/Hz for raw data and 1.5 bps/Hz for coded data. The experimental data analysis shows that the modem functions over the fading channel and performs within 1 dB of theoretical or simulation estimates.
