Hi all,
just joined the group and have been using digital modes (=PSK only)
for a couple of weeks now.
I've occasionally got a bad modulation report - two or three times
out of maybe fifty contacts - and was wondering how I could
personally check the modulation as the signal is transmitted.
Hi, Rob;
You might want to consider this - http://www.usinterface.com/IMDMeter.html
I'm planning on buying one.
Good luck,

To measure the IMD you can transmit PSK31 or better PSK63 or 125 idling. An Ham

Hello Vojteck,
I think Patrick has a similar mode in MultiPSK, which limits further
the character table, making the mode work with even lower S/N.
You are right, I have tried PSK10 and PSKAM10. The big problem with these low
speeds is the ionospheric Doppler modulation. Without any Doppler in
Vojtech,
Good points.
After some further reflection on the article I am not sure many conclusions
can be made from the material beyond its specific results about the modes
covered. The various modes are to dissimilar in all aspects to draw any
conclusions on whether PSK is better than MFSK, for
I just read the Pactor 3 specification. I am not sure that it is OFDM. It is
multi-tone but the spacing of the tones seems wider than OFDM requires.
But I may be missing something in the technical definition OFDM of that

Hello Rick,
S/N in dB is measured versus a conventional noise bandwidth (3 KHz in general).
This permits to compare modes against gaussia noise as you consider the signal
power (indifferently of the way you modulate and the coding you use) and the
noise power (the same for all modes).
Eb/N0
Rick,
The measurement of SNR and Eb/No are two different measurements. The
confusion comes because they are both cited in dB. It took me quite a lot of
rereading material to clearly understand them. I dumped my understanding of
it onto my web site at
Hello to all,
For the ones interested by doing ALE and ARQ FAE in small bandwith (400 Hz), I
have derived from the standard ALE a new ALE which bandwidth is 400 Hz (instead
of 2000 Hz) and which name is ALE400.
This ALE system has exactly the same functions as the standard ALE (in
Multipsk)
Would the phase distortion that can corrupt a PSK signal occur the same on a
M-PSK signal?
If the phase distortion affects all the sub channels then doing differential
PSK among the sub channels would work where symbol to symbol DxPSK would not
work.

My understanding is that the Eb/No is more of what you would find at the
antenna terminals, without the bandwidth of the receiver?
Using your data on your web site, how does this relate to say, PSK31
modulation? Would the SNR also be at zero with the 31 bps baud rate with

I thought about the same. On pactor, the doppler perturbation is 31/100
of the signalling rate, thus, results less affected, even without taking
into account the FEC and QRQ strenghts that Pactor also packs along.

For what it's worth, I ran several digital modes through a high-latitude

was set to 30Hz and path delay was 7 milliseconds. With these settings,

You can see the variations in the ionosphere as a phase modulator
embedded in the channel. So, it will phase modulate whatever you attempt
to get thru it. Actually, it has a phase modulator embedded for each
arriving path.
