Audio Sample
  • Downlink frequency: 1692.14 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz (L-band)
  • Polarization: Linear, East–West
  • Modulation: NRZ-L BPSKBinary Phase-Shift Keying (1 bit per symbol) (binary phase shift keying)
  • Pulse shaping: Root-raised cosine filter with roll-off factor 0.5
  • Symbol rate: 128 kbaud
  • Information bit rate: 64 kbpsKilobits per second (kbps) (due to 1/2-rate convolutional coding)
  • Forward error correction:
    • Outer code: Reed–Solomon (255,223) over GF(2⁸), 4-block interleaving
    • Inner code: Convolutional, rate-1/2, constraint length 7 (CCSDS standard)
  • Data randomization: Applied before modulation (per CCSDS)
  • Frame synchronization: 4-byte sync marker 0x1ACFFC1D
  • Transmission frame structure (CADU):
    • 6-byte AOS primary header
    • 886-byte M_PDU (2-byte header + 884-byte payload)
    • 128 bytes Reed–Solomon parity
    • Total: 1024 bytes (CADU)
  • Compression: Lossless JPEG2000, 8-bit grayscale imagery
  • Encryption (optional): Single-key DES in ECB mode (applied to LRIT file payloads)
