Chinese 30-tone OFDM modem
This is a 30-tone OFDMOrthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing data mode that is believed to be used by Chinese military or other agencies.
The signal is transmitted in bursts, apparently in LSBLower Side Band Modulation mode, and there is a pilot tone at approximately 445 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz).. Each burst starts with a preamble of 4 tones, spaced 600 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). apart, first at about 650 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz)., modulated in QPSKQuadrature Phase-Shift Keying (2 bits per symbol). Actual data transmission happens with 30 OFDMOrthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing tones, each BPSKBinary Phase-Shift Keying (1 bit per symbol) modulated. Bandwidth of the signal is approximately 3 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz.
