Abstract

In this paper, we propose an improved error correction code in order to improve the performance of digital modems for HF data communications and verify the performance of the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme employs outer Reed-Solomon codes concatenated with inner convolutional codes. Numerical results show that the proposed system significantly improves the bit error rate performance compared to the conventional PACTOR-III modems. Hence, the proposed system can improve the bandwidth efficiency of digital modems for HF data communications.

본 논문에서는 HF (high frequency) 데이터 통신을 위한 디지털 모뎀의 성능 향상을 위하여 개선된 오류정정부호 방식을 제안하고 성능을 검증한다. 제안하는 오류정정부호 방식은 외부의 Reed-Solomon 부호와 내부의 컨볼루션 부호를 연접하여 만들어진다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안하는 시스템이 기존 PACTOR-III 규격의 오류정정부호 방식을 사용하는 시스템에 비해 비트 오율 성능을 크게 향상시킴을 보여준다. 따라서 제안하는 부호화 방식을 사용하여 HF 데이터 통신을 위한 디지털 모뎀의 대역폭 효율성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.
