Abstract

The data transmission reliability is analyzed under conditions of log-normal amplitude fluctuations controlled by Fraunhofer diffraction in the data transmission line spacecraft–ground tracking station in the coherent method of signal reception in the millimeter range. The transmission channel is broken into two communication ways: deep space spacecraft–near-Earth spacecraft; near-Earth spacecraft–ground tracking station through the tropospheric channel. Optimum signal transmission frequencies in the tropospheric channel are separated by the error probability minimization criterion, and the feasibility of reaching high data transmission rates are analyzed.
