- Abstract
This thesis considers the communication situation where repetitions of a message sequence are used to improve the reliability of correct reception. This problem arises in systems where the transmitted power is inherently insufficient.A general model for the above problem is formulated, from which the optimum receiver is derived and its probability of error calculated. Then we examine a case of PAM transmission of repeated signals in which the optimum receiver is greatly simplified. For this case we derive a suboptimum receiver which is easier to implement and whose performance compares favourably with the optimum one.Finally, we discuss applications of the above schemes to the "SARSAT" satellite program.
