Improving the reliability of data transmission on the communication line spacecraft-ground tracking station: intermittent emission mode

A method for increasing the reliability of data transmission under conditions of lognormal amplitude fluctuations of millimeter radio waves on the spacecraft–ground tracking station line using intermittent radiation modes with coherent signal reception is considered. It is shown that the radio link utilization factor is fixed at a constant ratio of the threshold level and the average signal-to-noise ratio.
