Channel and phase ambiguities are solved by the I/Q interleave function (prior frame
synchronization) in the following cases:
- OQPSK with dual differential encoding,
- OQPSK with dual [convolu differential] encoding.
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.
Hard decision applies to external input to the Viterbi decoders (scenario c).
Auxiliary inputs: restricted to noise & spurious-free signal with limited amplitude variations.
Direct input to the Bit Synchronizer: Not available.
