Abstract
The impact of an in-band pulsed-chirp radio frequency interference (RFI) on the coherent reception of a fully suppressed binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) signal was analyzed. To better understand the impact from the pulsed nature of the RFI, two scenarios were studied separately—one for low-rate and the other for highrate telemetry, depending upon whether the symbol rate of the BPSK signal was lower or higher, respectively, than the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of the RFI. For each case, the bit-error rate (BER) was derived as a function of various RFI parameters after analyzing the RFI-impacted carrier tracking and symbol detection of the coherent receiver. The analytical models resulting from this study are useful in assessing the BER performance degradation for BPSK signals against a set of pulsed-chirp RFI parameters.
