Abstract :
A pulse-position modulation (PPM) system based on energy detection is described. The system is shown to be applicable to a communication system in which the arrival times of signals are unknown. The decision statistics are chisquare distributed (either central or noncentral), and recursive methods of computing probabilities of error are derived. A simple digital processor for implementing the system is also described.
