Abstract

See full text

An antenna compensation system and method equalizes transmission link efficiency in sectors having unequal antenna or path gain while maintaining an equalized power spectral density. Areas of a sector having lower gains receive broadcasts with more robust coding to equalize their transmission link performance with areas of a sector having higher gains. The robustness of coding is controlled through setting of different forward error code rates, setting of different modulation types, or a combination of both. In analog systems it is controlled through variation of a signal-to-noise sensitive transmission parameter. Sectors may be divided azimuthally with areas at or near the boresight receiving less robust coding and areas nearer the sector edges receiving more robust coding. Similarly, sectors may be divided into radial areas with the more distant areas receiving more robust coding.
