Doppler Compensation Process - Safran CORTEX CRT Quantum User Manual

Doppler Compensation Process

3.7.3.
The Doppler prediction table contains pairs of (Time Offset, Frequency Offset) describing a Doppler trajectory.
The time offsets can be non-linear. The SPS linearly interpolates the Doppler trajectory depending on the
interpolation step which can take four values: 1 s, 0.1 s, 0.01 s, and 0.001 s (synchronized by 1pps signal).
Once the execution date is reached by the IRIG-B reference, the hardware starts updating the NCO (every 160
µs, 16 µs, 1.6 µs, 0.16 µs) until the end of compensation process.
The next figure illustrates the Doppler compensation process:

Four states describe the process:

Off: the compensation is disabled.

NoData: the compensation is enabled and waiting for a request.

Wait: the request is received and accepted, the Cortex waits for the execution date to be reached.

InProgress: the process is running.
During the execution of a table, if the Doppler compensation is disabled, the interpolation continues until the end
of compensation where the last offset applied is kept.
