Question?
What would you think would be unique
requirements of a Military or Defense
Communications System?

SYSTEM ENGINEERING
Copyright 2015 John Olsen - All Rights Reserved
Example Military Communication System Requirements
Confidentiality (secrecy, protection from Eavesdropping)
Authentication of source and non-alterable message content (protection from “spoofing”)
Operate without Infrastructure (e.g., Cell towers)
Covert (hid the signal from interception; e.g., Special Op units)
Protection from Direction Finding and Location
Protection from Brut-Force Jamming (Electronic Warfare)
Protection from Sophisticated Attacks – Just like Internet Hackers (called Information Warfare)
Redundancy (no single point of failure)
Are These Requirements Really Unique to the Military vs Commercial?

Economic Value of Spectrum
United States 2008 wireless spectrum auction From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States 700 MHz FCC wireless spectrum auction, officially known as Auction73,[1] was started by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on January 24,2008 for the rights to operate the 700 MHz frequency band in the United States.
Original usage The 700 MHz spectrum was previously used for analog televisionbroadcasting, specifically UHF channels 52 through 69. The FCC has ruled that theswitch to digital television has made these frequencies no longer necessary forbroadcasters, due to the improved spectral efficiency of digital broadcasts
Results of the auction
Auction 73 generally went as planned by telecommunications analysts. In total, Auction 73raised $19.592 billion. Notably, Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility togetheraccounted for $16.3 billion of the total revenue.
$>$100 Billion in federal revenues generated since 1993 by FCC spectrum license auctions

Advantages of Digital Comm
Perfect Recovery of Signal(noise is not additive with repeaters)For sufficient Signal-to-Noise Ration (SNR)
Powerful Error Control Coding can be utilized
Can Exploit Sophisticated Source Encoding (e.g., MP3, MPEG, JPEG, etc.)
Digital does not degrade slowly like analog – it either works or does not ( steep receiver operating curve) – Example DirecTV

Why is FM Radio Superior to AM Radio?
Higher Information Bandwidth (20 KHz vs 3 KHz) – High Fidelity
Higher Carrier Bandwidth (200 KHz vs 10 KHz)
FM is more noise immune – Noise Signal Amplitude can be eliminated as only the signal’s frequency variations carry the information

Recall from Dr Pao What is System Engineering?
System Engineering is an interdisciplinary, comprehensive approach to solving complex problems and satisfying stakeholder requirements.
Interdisciplinary: team approach (concurrent engineering, integrated product team), broad knowledge
Approach: Not an exact science
Stakeholder requirements: Who are the stakeholders? The requirements are multi-dimensional

Source Channel Coding
Objective to Most Efficiently Represent the Information (Information Theory addresses how to measure the actual information content and theoretical minimum data rate to perfectly represent the data) Eliminate Redundancy
Example - Usually not much has changed from one frame of Video to the next No Data Periods (speech pauses, between Bursts of Data)
Huffman Coding – Variable length “Code-words” are used so that the Information which occurs more frequently are assigned the shorter code words Morse Code Examples
e is assigned . t is - i is . . a is . - n is - . m is - - s is . . . o is - - - h is . . . . b is - . . . x is - . . - q is - - . -

Discussion Questions Is Morse Code optimized for every language that uses the
alphabet?How about Hawaiian?
Run-length CodingCode the length of a string of 1s or 0s1111111100111111111 would be 8 2 9Very effective for facsimile
Discussion –Advantages of variable length code-words?Disadvantages of variable length code-words?

Channel Error Control Coding
Add Redundancy to Detect and Correct Errors
Error Detection CodeParity Check Code 0110101 0
Detects all single errors and odd number or errors, but cannot detect even number of errors nor correct any errors
Error Correction CodeAdd more redundancy so that you can detect and
correct errors
Example Hamming CodesSingle error 7,4 Hamming code – adds 3 bits of
redundancy to every 4 bits of information
SYSTEM ENGINEERING

Sophisticated Error Correction Codes
Reed- Solomon Codes (non binary channel information)Example 31,15 RS Code: 15 32-ary Symbols + 16 32-ary
Redundancy SymbolsCan correct any pattern of 7 errors or any pattern where 2 x erasures +
# errors < 15
Convolutional CodesConcatenated Codes – codes applied on top of one
anotherTypically Data is First Encoded by Reed Solomon Code
Then Interleaving or spreading-out of the symbols from the same RS code word to mitigate “burst errors”
Then Typically a Convolutional Code is applied before being sent over the channel
