    Another method to improve the sensitivity of the receiver is to use Forward Error Correction (FEC), this can be used for SATELLAR XT 5R with 4- and 8-FSK modulations. This improvement effects the user data rate: the air speed remains the same but the fraction of bits available for the user is as indicated by the code rate of the FEC.

  • Page 40 How the DTE includes the address data in the message depends on the used communication protocol. Adaptation to different protocols is done by the protocol filters that are available in SATEL NMS PC soft- ware. These filters tell to the RU how to interpret the incoming message. No special protocol support is needed in the RU firmware.
