5.6.2.2(Monitor„Rx-Params)RECEIVE-PARAMETERS

If the user selects Rx-Params, the following sub-menu is displayed:

EbNo=05.7dB BER=3.4E-9

UF=+11.7k Buf=50% RSL=-24dBm

If the demodulator is locked, this screen shows the following:

 

Eb/No

 

This shows the value of Eb/No calculated by the demodulator. The

 

 

 

value referred to here is the energy per information bit (Ebi), divided

 

 

 

by the noise spectral density (No).

 

BER

 

This is an estimate of the corrected BER.

 

UF

 

The frequency offset of the received carrier, in kHz, with a displayed

 

Buf

 

resolution of 100 Hz.

 

 

(Buffer fill state) This shows the fill state (in percent), of the receive

 

 

 

Buffer. After a reset, it will read 50. A value <50 indicates that the

 

 

 

buffer is emptying, and >50 indicates that it is filling.

 

RSL

 

(Receive Signal Level) A value in dBm, indicating the input power of

 

 

 

the desired carrier, as seen by the demodulator. If the signal level is

 

 

 

below the AGC range of the demod, this will display RSL <-99

If the demodulator is not locked, this screen shows the message ‘‘Demod: Not

Locked’, but continuing to display receive signal level the Pressing ENT or

CLR will take the user back to the previous menu.

Demodulator: Not Locked

UF=+11.7k RSL=-24dBm

If the user selects Event-Log, the following sub-menu is displayed:

Stored Events:
