3-11
CPU block
CPU board consists of a pair of CPU1 and CPU 2 a demodulator, and a Viterbi
decoder. Functions of each circuit are summarized as follows.
CPU1:
•
Data entry of a receiving symbol every RX CLK
•
Synchronous detection by unique words
•
Receiving data processing before Viterbi decoding
•
Frequency adjustment control
•
Synchronization control of TX CLK
•
TX start timing control
CPU2:
•
Receiving data processing after Viterbi decoding
•
Transmitting data processing
•
Transmitting control
•
Slot number control
•
Synthesizer control
•
Measurement of TX/RX level
•
RF block monitoring
•
Alarm processing
•
Releasing alarm sound
•
Clock control
•
Data interfacing with terminals (DTE1, 2) and its data processing
•
Data interfacing with DATA (PC) and its data processing
•
Data interfacing with navigation devices (including internal GPS) and its data
processing
•
Input/output control of distress alert unit (DMC1, 2) and received call unit
•
Polling and data-reporting
•
Forward and return ID handling
Demodulator:
•
Regenerates RCV CLK from receiving IF signal (50 kHz, BPSK signal), and
demodulates to 3-bit quantized data.
Viterbi Decoder:
•
Decodes 3-bit quantized data which is supplied from the demodulator through
CPU1.
