Abstract

In this correspondence, a model is analyzed that was designed to study interference on satellite channels. We developed this model to obtain performance results for a coherent phase-shift keyed (CPSK) system in which RS-BCH concatenated codes and BCH singlestage codes are applied to a satellite channel corrupted by cochannel interference. These results make use of earlier work on performance analysis of an $m$ -phase CPSK system operating in the presence of random Gaussian noise and non-Gaussian interference. Earlier work on performance evaluation of concatenated codes on an equierror channel is also used. Our model incorporates features that account for the burst behavior of the interference sources. Results indicate that the use of RS-BCH concatenated coding provides significant performance improvement over no coding as well as single-stage BCH coding.
