The Common TDMA Terminal Equipment for the Telesat TDMA system
Abstract
This paper discusses the main features and design concepts of the Telesat Common TDMA Terminal Equipment (CTTE). Some of the more important techniques used in implementing these design concepts are described and performance results are presented. The description encompasses the Buffer Memories, a burst-operated Rate-3/4 forward acting convolutional Coder/Decoder and the TDMA burst synchronization functions. The synchronization hardware includes the Preamble Generator and Detector, the Burst Synchronizer, and an automatic Time Slot Acquisition Unit.
