Abstract
AbstractRecently, a number of commercial digital mobile satellite communications systems have become operational, and the introduction of more systems is imminent. The voice transmission quality of the Inmarsat‐aeronautical, Inmarsat‐M and Inmarsat‐B systems was evaluated and compared with the quality of the Inmarsat‐A analogue communication system on the basis of subjective listener opinion assessments. From this evaluation it can be concluded that, under nominal operating conditions, the current generation of digital mobile systems may offer a perceived performance that surpasses that of the older Inmarsat‐A analogue system, at least when measured in terms of transmission quality.
