Abstract :
The author investigates the performance of an adaptive information rate technique that is particularly well suited to the bandwidth-limited meteor burst channel. This technique uses the quadrature amplitude signal sets common to digital radio and is called adaptive QAM. Improvements in throughput that are possible with the proposed approach are examined. The results are pertinent to the use of meteor-burst channels for military applications
