Abstract
The relationship between intersatellite spacing, error probability, and carrier-to-thermal noise ratio is studied for the case where the satellites transmit multilevel coherent phase-shift-keyed signals. Numerical results based on computer evaluation of exact expressions are presented for 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-phase systems.
