dc.description.abstractMeteor burst communication techniques are used to establish . secure, over the horizon, radio communication links at VHF frequencies. A variety of techniques are available for predicting the performance of meteor burst communication systems. These techniques range in complexity from "rule of thumb" analytical estimates to sophisticated computer simulations. Only a few of the most recently published models extend their analysis to include the error profile of the channel and the techniques used to control the errors. The primary focus of this thesis was to create a model of the meteor burst communication channel and to use it to predict the effect various error control protocols would have on the performance of communications systems using the meteor burst channel. The resulting predictions indicate that significant performance gains can be achieved using Hybrid II ARQ/FEC error control techniques. They also confirm recently published results of system tests which indicate the use of Hybrid I ARQ/FEC protocols would not result in significant improvements in performance.
