Abstract
The 1978 Pioneer Venus mission will require direct communication links between the planetary probes and Earth. Data from the Russian spacecraft Venera 4 indicate that these links will be subjected to lognormal fading resulting from atmospheric turbulence. This article analyzes the bit error rate degradation for uncoded binary phase-shift-keyed (PSK) telemetry in the presence of such fading.
