Abstract

A system is described and demonstration plans presented for antenna arraying by Symbol Stream Combining. This system can be used to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of spacecraft signals by combining the detected symbol streams from two or more receiving stations. Symbol Stream Combining has both cost and performance advantages over other arraying methods. Demonstrations are planned on Voyager II both prior to and during Uranus encounter. Operational use is possible for Interagency Arraying of nonDSN stations at Neptune encounter.
