Abstract

See full text

An on-line channel monitor, for measuring E.sub.b /N.sub.O, measures the quality of a communication channel while the channel is in use. The channel monitor employs a soft-decision demodulator so as to compare analog signal levels of an AGC compensated signal in a demodulator with the desired signal level. Deviations, termed pseudo-errors, are counted and the number of counts integrated. The result is employed to drive a meter calibrated in terms of E.sub.b /N.sub.O.
