Overview
The GTS/DEC/006 reconstructs a serial PCM data stream from a source
that has been corrupted by noise, phase jitter, amplitude modulation, or
base line variations. The all-digital design utilizes three independent,
programmable matched filters and Phase Locked Loops (PLL) to track
deviations in the bit-rate of the received signals.
The output from the bit synchronizers is fed into the Smart Source
Selector thereby producing a hard decision (1 or 0) based on the signal
quality of the received bits. If the soft values are shifted in time, data is
re-aligned prior to combining the soft values.
The recovered data is then decommutated into frames. Each minor frame
can be tagged with time from an IRIG-B source to an accuracy of 1μs.
