Phase ambiguity solving is by the frame synchronizer or by the differential decoder (if the
PCM code is NRZ-M or NRZ-S).
Test points and external input to the Frame Synchronizer or Viterbi Decoder are available if
one of the downlink data I/Os Test Sets is enabled. See section 2.3.4.2, Annex 5 and TMU
monitoring table, status offset 26 for more details.
In the case of external Viterbi input (scenario c), only hard-decision is available, with the
corresponding performances.
Auxiliary inputs: restricted to noise & spurious-free signal with limited amplitude variations.
Direct input to the PSK Demodulator: set the IF Receiver to « By-pass » mode and select
Auxiliary port # 1 or # 2.
Option: Direct input to the PSK Demodulator is also accessible using offset 29 in the
telemetry unit table with value 1 or 2.
Direct input to the Bit Synchronizer: set the IF Receiver to « By-pass » mode and the SCF
to 0 on the Telemetry Unit. Select Auxiliary port # 1 or # 2.
Option: Direct input to the Bit Synchronizer is also accessible using offset 29 in the
telemetry unit table with value 1 or 2.
