3.0 Theory of Operation
A digital terrestrial interface supplies the modulator with a data stream. The data stream is
synchronized if the incoming stream is framed. The data is scrambled, and FEC is added. The
data is then convolutionally encoded, punctured, then constellation mapped. The resulting I&Q
symbols are digitally filtered. The data is then converted into an analog waveform and is vector
modulated onto an RF Carrier produced from the Transmit IF Synthesizer Circuitry.
