Abstract
The joint tactical information distribution system (JTIDS) is used as the communication terminal of Link-16 by the United States armed forces, north atlantic treaty organization (NATO), and other allied forces. A portion of Link-16 frequencies may be shortly remapped to other systems owing to the growing demand for frequencies, especially in civil aviation, which is witnessing a constant increase in air traffic. This will affect the performance of Link-16. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the effect of frequency band reduction on the performance of Link-16 waveform under partial-band noise jamming with Nakagami fading, via simulation and numerical analysis. The multi-net and anti-jamming performance of Link-16 with frequency remapping is compared with that of conventional Link-16 systems. The results show that the performance of Link-16 waveform is degraded with the reduction in frequencies. Nonetheless, Link-16 retains its jam resistance, and it can support multiple users in the same time slots.
