To investigate the performance of a planned short range traffic management system with data rates more than 1 MBits/sec in case of multipath effects, an experimental system has been built. Bit error properties are investigated by recording transmitted pn-sequences in real time and off-line analysis using correlation techniques. Measurement results regarding the dependence of bit errors and dock errors on the covered distance are presented for the downlink. The results show that a sufficient range of about 25 m is achievable for synchronous data transfer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
