The paper describes a new pilot tone SSB configuration, transparent tone-in-band (TTIB), which may be used in mobile radio systems from low-band VHF to microwave frequencies. By utilizing audio signal processing techniques in the transmitter and receiver, the pilot reference tone may be positioned centrally within the RF channel bandwidth without losing the property of data transparency and also retains the many system advantages of tone-in-band SSB over the pilot carrier and tone-above-band schemes. Besides speech transmissions, results are presented for noncoherent FSK and DPSK data formats under white noise and Rayleigh fading conditions. Finally, a new technique utilizing TTIB is suggested to facilitate the use of coherent data systems.
