Description of the Demodulator
A block diagram of the demodulator is shown in Figure 1-2.
1.7.1
Overview
The demodulator converts PSK modulated carriers within the 950 to 1750 MHz range to
a demodulated baseband data stream. The converted modulation types are BPSK, QPSK,
OQPSK, and 8-PSK. The demodulator then performs FEC decoding on the data stream to
produce the error corrected data output to the data interface.
