| dc.description.abstract | The problem of data loss on a RF channel has been approached from various perspectives. This research employs Reed Solomon (RS) encodina to combat burst noise and Bilnd Equalization to overcome Inter S Symbol Interference (ISI). This simulation of a RF channel is an improvement over the software based simulation because the processes of modulation, demodulation and channel simulation are done in hardware instead of software. Moreover, the BER curves show that equalization carried out in this research has' little effect on the bit error rate implying that the ISI 0 present in this channel cannot be eliminated using blind equalization with Godard's criterion. However, the RS codes combined with bit interleaving can result in a gain of 0 about 2dB at a bit error probability of 10-'. This hardware based approach has also reduced the time required to. simulate the channel from about 10hours to 20minutes. | en |
