The most striking difference between JT65 and JT9 is the much smaller
|
||||
occupied bandwidth of JT9: 15.6 Hz, compared with 177.6 Hz for JT65A.
|
||||
Transmissions in the two modes are essentially the same length, and
|
||||
both modes use exactly 72 bits to carry message information. At the
|
||||
user level the two modes support nearly identical message structures.
|
||||
|
||||
JT65 signal reports are constrained to the range –1 to –30 dB. This
|
||||
range is more than adequate for EME purposes, but not really enough
|
||||
for optimum use at HF and below. S/N values displayed by the JT65
|
||||
decoder are clamped at an upper limit –1 dB, and in present JT65
|
||||
decoders the S/N scale is nonlinear above –10 dB.
|
||||
|
||||
By comparison, JT9 allows for signal reports in the range –50 to +49
|
||||
dB. It manages this by taking over a small portion of ``message
|
||||
space'' that would otherwise be used for grid locators within 1 degree
|
||||
of the south pole. The S/N scale of the present JT9 decoder is
|
||||
reasonably linear (although it's not intended to be a precision
|
||||
measurement tool).
|
||||
|
||||
With clean signals and a clean noise background, JT65 achieves nearly
|
||||
100% decoding down to S/N = –22 dB and about 50% success at –24
|
||||
dB. JT9 is about 2 dB better, achieving 50% decoding at –26 dB. Both
|
||||
modes produce extremely low false-decode rates.
|
||||
|
||||
Early experience suggests that under most HF propagation conditions
|
||||
the two modes have comparable reliability. The tone spacing of JT9 is
|
||||
about two-thirds that of JT65, so in some disturbed ionospheric
|
||||
conditions in the higher portion of the HF spectrum, JT65 may perform
|
||||
better.
|
||||
|
||||
JT9 is an order of magnitude better in spectral efficiency. On a busy
|
||||
HF band, the conventional 2-kHz-wide JT65 sub-band is often filled
|
||||
with overlapping signals. Ten times as many JT9 signals can fit into
|
||||
the same frequency range, without collisions.
|
||||
|
||||
JT65 signals often decode correctly even when they overlap. Such
|
||||
behavior is much less likely with JT9 signals, which fill their occupied
|
||||
bandwidth more densely. JT65 may also be more forgiving of small
|
||||
frequency drifts.

JT65 was designed for making minimal QSOs via EME (``moon-bounce'') on
|
||||
the VHF and UHF bands. A detailed description of the protocol and its
|
||||
implementation in program _WSJT_ was published in {jt65protocol} for
|
||||
September-October, 2005. Briefly stated, JT65 uses 60 s T/R sequences
|
||||
and carefully structured messages. Standard messages are compressed so
|
||||
that two callsigns and a grid locator can be transmitted in just 71
|
||||
information bits. A 72^nd^ bit serves as a flag to indicate that a
|
||||
message consists of arbitrary text (up to 13 characters) instead of
|
||||
callsigns and a grid locator. Special formats allow other information
|
||||
such as add-on callsign prefixes (e.g., ZA/K1ABC) or numerical signal
|
||||
reports (in dB) to be substituted for the grid locator. The basic aim
|
||||
is to compress the most common messages used for minimally valid QSOs
|
||||
into a minimum fixed number of bits. After compression, a Reed Solomon
|
||||
(63,12) error-control code converts 72-bit user messages into
|
||||
sequences of 63 six-bit channel symbols.
|
||||
|
||||
JT65 requires tight synchronization of time and frequency between
|
||||
transmitting and receiving stations. Each transmission is divided into
|
||||
126 contiguous time intervals or symbols of length 4096/11025 = 0.372
|
||||
s. Within each interval the waveform is a constant-amplitude sinusoid
|
||||
at one of 65 pre-defined frequencies. Frequency steps between
|
||||
intervals are accomplished in a phase-continuous manner. Half of the
|
||||
channel symbols are devoted to a pseudo-random synchronizing vector
|
||||
interleaved with the encoded information symbols. The sync vector
|
||||
allows calibration of time and frequency offsets between transmitter
|
||||
and receiver. A transmission nominally begins at t = 1 s after the
|
||||
start of a UTC minute and finishes at t = 47.8 seconds. The
|
||||
synchronizing tone is at 11025 × 472/4096 = 1270.46 Hz, and is normally
|
||||
sent in each interval having a “1” in the following pseudo-random
|
||||
sequence:
|
||||
|
||||
100110001111110101000101100100011100111101101111000110101011001

|
||||
|
||||
Encoded user information is transmitted during the 63 intervals not
|
||||
used for the sync tone. Each channel symbol generates a tone at

[[JT65PRO]]
|
||||
=== JT65
|
||||
|
||||
JT65 was designed for making minimal QSOs via EME (``moon-bounce'') on
|
||||
the VHF and UHF bands. A detailed description of the protocol and its
|
||||
implementation in program _WSJT_ was published in {jt65protocol} for
|
||||
September-October, 2005. Briefly stated, JT65 uses 60 s T/R sequences
|
||||
and carefully structured messages. Standard messages are compressed so
|
||||
that two callsigns and a grid locator can be transmitted in just 71
|
||||
information bits. A 72^nd^ bit serves as a flag to indicate that a
|
||||
message consists of arbitrary text (up to 13 characters) instead of
|
||||
callsigns and a grid locator. Special formats allow other information
|
||||
such as add-on callsign prefixes (e.g., ZA/K1ABC) or numerical signal
|
||||
reports (in dB) to be substituted for the grid locator. The basic aim
|
||||
is to compress the most common messages used for minimally valid QSOs
|
||||
into a minimum fixed number of bits. After compression, a Reed Solomon
|
||||
(63,12) error-control code converts 72-bit user messages into
|
||||
sequences of 63 six-bit channel symbols.
|
||||
|
||||
JT65 requires tight synchronization of time and frequency between
|
||||
transmitting and receiving stations. Each transmission is divided into
|
||||
126 contiguous tone intervals or ``symbols'' of length 4096/11025 =
|
||||
0.372 s. Within each interval the waveform is a constant-amplitude
|
||||
sinusoid at one of 65 pre-defined frequencies. Frequency steps between
|
||||
intervals are accomplished in a phase-continuous manner. Half of the
|
||||
channel symbols are devoted to a pseudo-random synchronizing vector
|
||||
interleaved with the encoded information symbols. The sync vector
|
||||
allows calibration of time and frequency offsets between transmitter
|
||||
and receiver. A transmission nominally begins at t = 1 s after the
|
||||
start of a UTC minute and finishes at t = 47.8 seconds. The
|
||||
synchronizing tone is at 11025 × 472/4096 = 1270.46 Hz, and is
|
||||
normally sent in each interval having a “1” in the following
|
||||
pseudo-random sequence:
|
||||
|
||||
100110001111110101000101100100011100111101101111000110101011001

|
||||
|
||||
Encoded user information is transmitted during the 63 intervals not
|
||||
used for the sync tone. Each channel symbol generates a tone at
|
||||
frequency 11025 × 472/4096 + 11025/4096 × (N+2) × m, where N is the
|
||||
value of the six-bit symbol, 0 ≤ N ≤ 63, and m is 1, 2, or 4 for JT65
|
||||
sub-modes A, B, or C. Sub-mode JT65A is always used at HF.
|
||||
|
||||
For EME (but, conventionally, not on the HF bands) the signal report
|
||||
OOO is sometimes used instead of numerical signal reports. It is
|
||||
conveyed by reversing sync and data positions in the transmitted
|
||||
sequence. Shorthand messages for RO, RRR, and 73 dispense with the
|
||||
sync vector entirely and use time intervals of 16384/11025 = 1.486 s
|
||||
for pairs of alternating tones. The lower frequency is always 1270.46
|
||||
Hz, the same as that of the sync tone, and the frequency separation is
|
||||
110250/4096 = 26.92 Hz multiplied by n × m, with n = 2, 3, 4 for the
|
||||
messages RO, RRR, and 73.

[[JT4PRO]]
|
||||
=== JT4
|
||||
|
||||
JT4 uses 72-bit structured messages nearly identical to those in
|
||||
JT65. Error control coding (ECC) uses a strong convolutional code with
|
||||
constraint length K=32, rate r=1/2, and a zero tail, leading to an
|
||||
encoded message length of (72+31) x 2 = 206 information-carrying
|
||||
bits. Modulation is 4-tone frequency-shift keying at 11025 / 2520 =
|
||||
4.375 baud. Each symbol carries one information bit (the most
|
||||
significant bit) and ony synchronizing bit (the least signicifant
|
||||
bit). The pseudo-random sync vector is the following sequence:

Transmissions in all three modes are essentially the same length, and
|

all use 72 bits to carry message information. At user level the modes
|
||||
support nearly identical message structures.
|
||||
|
||||
JT4 and JT65 signal reports are constrained to the range –1 to –30
|
||||
dB. This range is more than adequate for EME purposes, but not enough
|
||||
for optimum use at HF. S/N values displayed by the JT4 and JT65
|
||||
decoders are clamped at an upper limit –1 dB, and the S/N scale is
|
||||
nonlinear above –10 dB.
|
||||
|
||||
By comparison, JT9 allows for signal reports in the range –50 to +49
|
||||
dB. It manages this by taking over a small portion of ``message
|
||||
space'' that would otherwise be used for grid locators within 1 degree
|
||||
of the south pole. The S/N scale of the present JT9 decoder is
|
||||
reasonably linear (although it's not intended to be a precision
|
||||
measurement tool).
|
||||
|
||||
JT9 is an order of magnitude better than JT65 in spectral
|
||||
efficiency. On a busy HF band, the conventional 2-kHz-wide JT65
|

sub-band is often filled with overlapping signals. Ten times as many

JT9 signals can fit into the same frequency range, without collisions.
