In Tx direction, the MODEM unit generates the IF signal to be sent to an Outdoor Unit. Such signal 
contains a Constant Bit Rate signal built with the Ethernet packets coming from the Core-E; those packets 
are managed in a different way depending on their own native nature.
Digital Framer
– Classification of incoming packets from the Core-E (QoS)
– Fragmentation
– Air Frame Generation (synchronous with NE clock)
