Influence of Drift on Efficiency of Optimal Analog Adaptive Communication Systems with Feedback and Its Compensation

Results of analysis of drift influence on operation and efficiency of optimal analog adaptive communication systems with feedback and a new approach to drift compensation in these systems are presented in the paper. The proposed approach is based on application of the extended multidimensional adaptive algorithm that estimates simultaneously the value of a transmitted sample and the value of an unknown drift rate. The knowledge of the drift rate enables drift compensation and improves transmission efficiency of systems suffering problems related to drifts.
