Abstract
Enhanced radio frequency carrier margin improvement for arrayed receiving systems for coherent reception of phase modulated signals with residual carrier provides a significant reduction in carrier loop phase noise and increase in signal-to-noise ratio in the RF carrier tracking loop with an attendant reduction in telemetry radio loss. A significant increase in doppler frequency rate capability is also realized relative to operating at a narrower tracking loop bandwidth to obtain the same carrier sensitivity improvement. This report examines these performance characteristics for an array of two receiving systems with unequal apertures and statistically independent predetection noise.
