RF Carriers
• Radio Frequencies (RF) are defined as:– Periodic waves capable of traveling thru space.– Waveforms that meet the conditions of
Maxwell’s Equations.– Always periodic electro-magnetic wave fronts.– Always consist of three core elements . . .

Modulation
• RF carriers exist as CW with no external modulation – variation.
• To Modulate is to vary, such as:– Change Amplitude –AM– Change Frequency – FM– Change Phase – Ø

Error Detection
• There is a difference between Detecting an Error and Correcting an Error– Common errors detected are:
• CRC
• BCH
• Bit Errors
DTS Dover Telecommunication Services, Inc. © 2002 All rights reserved
Forward Error Correction(FEC)
• Common methods of detecting and Correcting data bit errors are:– BCH used in most SCADA applications– Reed-Solomon
• A Block Code
• Uses Parity checks
DTS Dover Telecommunication Services, Inc. © 2002 All rights reserved
Reed-Solomon Codes
• Capable of Correcting a Single Error Symbol.• Similar to BCH Error Codes• Used in Harris Constellation Radio• Is Considered a Block Code

• True status of pulse recovery
• Determines jitter in timing circuit
• Determines Inter-symbol-Interference (ISI)
DTS Dover Telecommunication Services, Inc. © 2002 All rights reserved
The Terminal ACU
• The Antenna Coupling Unit – Circulates the TX and RX Signals– Isolate the TX from the RX– Protects amplifiers and filters

Network Management
• Digital networks are often managed by a central system
• Internet Management Protocol (SNMP)

DSX1 Panel
• Purpose of the DSX1 Panel– Interconnection
• Terminates a Single Piece of Equipment
• Cross-Connects Two Pieces of Equipment
