DCS digital transmission system performance
K. W. Kirk, J. L. Osterholz · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1976
The report defines suitable circuit and channel performance measures for DCS digital transmission systems. These performance measures are allocated among various segments of a global reference circuit. Relationships are presented which allow basic system design characteristics such as RF link fade margin and individual equipment mean-time-between-outage performance to be chosen that satisfy the selected end-to-end circuit performance measures. A DCS Terrestrial Digital Transmission System Specification is attached as an appendix to this report.
