Abstract

Enhanced radio frequency carrier margin improvement for arrayed receiving systems for coherent reception provides a significant carrier sensitivity improvement with a resultant decrease in telemetry radio loss due to reduction in rms. phase noise at low carrier margins. In addition, a significant increase in doppler rate capability is realized relative to that obtained by switching to a narrower tracking loop bandwidth to obtain the same carrier sensitivity improvement. This report examines this situation for arrayed receiving systems with unequal apertures and statistically independent predetection noise.
