 Channel and phase ambiguities are solved by the DQPSK/DOQPSK decoder. In DQPSK
mode, output data must be interleaved for complete ambiguity solving.
 Test points and external input to the Frame Synchronizer or Viterbi Decoder are available if
one of the downlink data I/Os Test Sets is enabled. See section 2.3.4.2, Annex 5 and TMU
monitoring table, status offset 26 for more details.
 Hard decision applies to external input to the Viterbi decoders (scenario c).
 Auxiliary inputs: restricted to noise & spurious-free signal with limited amplitude variations.
 Direct input to the Bit Synchronizer: Not available.
