Abstract

The telemetry standard adopts SOQPSK-TG with excellent power and bandwidth efficiency as a modulation technique, and LDPC code with excellent performance as an error correction code. The SOQPSK-TG transmitter consists of a precoder and a CPM modulator. Rather than implementing each receiver separately, the reception performance is improved by combining the trellis and implementing it as a Viterbi decoder. In this paper, the reception performance of LDPC-encoded SOQPSK-TG was evaluated by replacing the Viterbi decoder with a max-log-map decoder capable of soft metric output. As a result of computer simulation in AWGN channel, there is an Eb/No performance gain of about more than 0.7~0.8dB compared to the conventional method.

텔레메트리 표준은 전력 및 대역폭 효율이 우수한 SOQPSK-TG를 변조 기법으로, 복호 성능이 우수한 LDPC 부호를 오류 정정 부호로 채택하고 있다. SOQPSK-TG 송신기는 프리코더와 CPM 변조기로 구성되어 있는데 각각의 수신기를 따로 구현하는 것보다 트렐리스를 결합하여 하나의 비터비 복호기로 구현하면 수신 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는데 본 논문에서는 이 비터비 복호기를 소프트 메트릭 출력이 가능한 max-log-map 복호기로 대신하여 LDPC 부호화한 SOQPSK-TG의 수신성능을 평가하였다. AWGN 채널에서 컴퓨터 모의 실험한 결과 기존의 방식보다 약 0.7~0.8dB의 Eb/No 성능 이득이 있다.
