CRC, DOT and the international aeronautical-mobile satellite service / by M. Moher.: Co24-3/7-92-004E-PDF

"The activities of the Communications Research Centre (CRC) and the Canadian Department of Transport (DOT) in the international aeronautical-mobile satellite service (AMSS) are summarized. It begins with a history of the major activities in the international standards process starting with ICAO Committee on Future Air Navigation Systems (FANS) in 1984, and continuing through the Airline Electronic Engineering Committee (AEEC) activities, the ICAO Aeronautical-Mobile Satellite Service Panel (AMSSP), to the ICAO Aeronautical Mobile Communications Panel (AMCP) in 1992. A parallel history of development of aeronautical satcom technology by CRC and DOT is then described, starting with the A-BPSK P-channel modem development in 1987, through industrial development and technology transfer, to its first commercial showing in an aeronautical satcom terminal in September 1992. The summary concludes with a description of the AMSS physical and link layers, and the technology developed at CRC to implement these layers"--Abstract.
