Abstract

The architecture and implementation of a TDMA (time-division multiple access) digital portable communication system using short bursts are considered. The authors describe an efficient and robust TDMA frame structure that requires very low overhead for burst demodulation and synchronization while being robust against both fading and carrier frequency offset. Based on this frame structure, an experimental radio link was implemented, using a hardware architecture that is suitable for digital signal processing and VLSI implementation. Performance results are presented
