Performance analysis of RS-coded PSK with ARQ protocol for slow-frequency-hopping spread spectrum EHF military satellite communication

This paper applies Reed-Solomon coded coherent-PSK modulation to antijam (AJ) capability of on-board-processing features with EHF slow frequency hopping. The decoder uses a jammer state information allowing the use of the erasure correction capacity which provides an effective AJ system in presence of a partial band jammer. A selective automatic-repeat-request protocol is proposed to improve the system performance.
