Abstract

The authors evaluate a robust framing technique which incorporates sufficient memory to simultaneously evaluate all bits in a candidate synchronizing codeword. Three performance measures are identified and the distribution function and mean value are developed in closed form for each measure. Predicted search and maintenance time distributions have been verified by measurements on a laboratory model. The authors present graphs of search time distributions which illustrate the effect of system parameters and variations in the channel error rate
