Abstract

The implementation of IF group delay equalizer and its performance are presented for radio relay system applications, and measured results are in good agreement with the simulated ones based upon analytical formulations. For waveguide filter of 40㎒ channel spacing, equalized delay accuracy of about +/- 2.0nsec can be obtained only by constructing 4 stage delay circuits, which provides good performance in system BER curves compared with no filter case, and the difference is less than 1.0㏈ at $10^{-12}$ BER. So this scheme with simple hardware design can be used for correcting the distorted group delays mainly caused by wavegiude filters. To evaluate the designed group delay equalizer, various simulated and experimental results are shown here in conjunction with STM-1 signal of co-channel 64-QAM digital radio relay system.
