JT9 is a mode designed for amateur QSOs at MF and LF. The mode uses
|
|
the same 72-bit structured messages as JT65. Error control coding
|
|
(ECC) uses a convolutional code with constraint length K=32, rate
|
|
r=1/2, and a zero tail, leading to an encoded message length of
|
|
(72+31)*2 = 206 information-carrying bits. Modulation is 9-FSK: 8
|
|
tones for data, one for synchronization. Sixteen symbol intervals are
|
|
used for synchronization, so a transmission requires a total of 207/3
|
|
+ 16 = 85 channel symbols. Symbol durations tsym are approximately
|
|
(TRperiod-8)/85, where TRperiod is the T/R sequence length in seconds.
|
|
Exact symbol lengths are chosen so that nsps, the number of samples
|
|
per symbol (at 12000 samples per second) is a number with no prime
|
|
factor greater than 7. This choice makes for efficient FFTs. Tone
|
|
spacing of the 9-FSK modulation is df=1/tsym=12000/nsps, the same as
|
|
the keying rate. The total occupied bandwidth is 9*df.
|
|
|
|
Parameters of five JT9 sub-modes are summarized in the following
|
|
table, along with S/N thresholds measured by simulation on an AWGN
|
|
channel.

Transmitting
|
|
------------
|
|
1. Source encode the structured message to 72 bits
|
|
2. Apply convolutional ECC (K=32, r=1/2) to yield (72+31)*2 = 206 bits
|
|
3. Interleave to scramble the bit order
|
|
4. Assemble 3-bit groups to make (206+1)/3 = 69 symbols
|
|
5. Gray-code the symbol values
|
|
6. Insert 16 sync symbols ==> 69+15=81 channel symbols, values 0-8
|
|
|
|
|
|
Receiving
|
|
---------
|
|
1. Apply noise blanking with the timf2 method
|
|
2. Filter to 1000 Hz bandwidth and downsample (1/8) to 1500 Hz, saving
|
|
complex data to array c0(1350000). (use FIR? NFFT2/NFFT2A?)
|
|
3. Compute symbol-length spectra at half-symbol steps. Use for
|
|
waterfall display s(22000) and save in ss(184,22000) and
|
|
savg(22000), for detecting sync vectors.
|
|
4. At time Tdec, find sync vectors in ss(); get estimates of DF, DT
|
|
5. Do full-length FFT, NFFT1=96*nsps2, zero-padded as required.
|
|
6. For each candidate signal, do inverse FFT of length 1536. This
|
|
yields 16 complex samples per symbol, and sync tone should be
|
|
close to zero frequency.
|
|
7. Use afc65b method to get improved values of DF, DT.
|
|
8. Tweak freq and time offset to 0.
|
|
9. Compute 8-bin spectra of 69 data symbols: s2(8,69). Re-order bins
|
|
by removing Gray code.
|
|
10. Compute soft symbols for 206 bits.
|
|
11. Remove interleaving
|
|
12. Pack bits into bytes, send to Fano decoder
|
|
13. If Fano succeeds, remove source encoding and display user message.
