Active Channel
DS3 Mapping: All STS-1’s are filled with the selected DS3
pattern.
VT1.5 Mapping: Any 1 channel or all channels are filled with a
selected VT1.5
pattern. If a single channel is selected, then the
remaining
channels are filled with a unique SF 24-bit fixed
word pattern.

Pulse Shape at Transmit
Output
DSX-1:
Meets TR-TSY-000499, Issue 1, December 1987.
DSX-3:
Meets TR-TSY-000499, Issue 3, December 1989.
See Note.
STSX-1:
Meets TA-NWT-000253, Issue 8, October 1993.
See Note.
Note: The six STSX1/DSX-3 outputs are provided through three 2-
way power splitters. Each pair, taken side-by-side, must be
terminated in 75 ohm resistive to meet the pulse shapes specified.
Isolation between each pair exceeds 15 dB. A slight waveform
aberration will occur on an opposite output if it’s pair is not
terminated but will typically pass pulse shape tests.
