3.3.5.2. Outputs
3.3.5.2.1. Post Detection Diversity Combining
In Video Mode: the DCU has two separate outputs. Output # 1 can be routed to a low bandwidth
telemetry unit (TMU) while Output # 2 can feed either a low bandwidth telemetry unit or a high bandwidth
telemetry unit with sub-carrier. Each DCU output can be separately programmed to Channel A or Channel
B or Best Channel or Combined Channels.
In PCM Mode: the DCU offers a single output (Output# 1) connected to a high bandwidth, direct PCM
telemetry unit.
Note: a status in the DCU monitoring table indicates which IF Receiver is Channel A and which one is Channel
B.
