Diversity Combining Unit and Antenna Combining 1.6.2
The Cortex HDR allows to combine two IF signals from different polarizations and from different delay.
Two combining modes are available:
- Automatic selection of the best channel
- Combining of the two channels, through optimal weighting. In this case up to 3 dB gain can be
achieved when both signals have the same Eb/No (and/or same G/T for 2 antennas)
The combining system, also named Diversity Combining Unit (DCU), receives the data from two
demodulators. It resolves phase ambiguity and delay between both channels, and deals with the
different locking states possible. Its output feeds a FEC device, followed by a Format Output.
