Example: PRAT is conveyed on the synchronization channel as a 2-bit binary field. The field 00 is used to denote a data rate of 9600 bits/sec and 01 denotes 4800 bits/sec. The other two possible binary words are reserved. USE YOUR BROWSER "BACK" BUTTON TO RETURN © 1999 DR. ERNEST SIMO - SPACE2000 |
