1382

    This MSK 1200 bauds professional mode is used, in VHF and UHF, by different services in France: transports, emergency services, in France.

   This mode is included into the software MULTIPSK by Patrick F6CTE, there is the description of this mode and its variants as well as the specifications coming from his software :



Description :
Baud rate :
1200.
Modulation :
MSK two tones (« mark » and « space ») with a shift between tones of 600 Hz (fixed tones at 1200 and 1800 Hz)
Reception mode :
phase modulation
Character set :
ASCII characters + ANSI extended characters
Shape of pulse :
rectangular
Bandwidth :
about 2 KHz
Demodulation :
non coherent
Synchronization :
automatic using the signal
Detection code :
yes on 15 bits + a final parity bit.
Convolution code:
it exists one (8,4 code) but seems not used. However, Multipsk does not decode it.
Interleaving :
no
Pmean/Ppeak :
1

Each frame contains 64 bits. 48 of these 64 bits are used for data (8 bits by character) and 16 bits for errors detection.
Each packet of frames is preceded by a sequence of 16 bits (0 and 1 alternated) for bit synchronisation.
The first frame of a packet of frames is subjected to a frame synchronization sequence of 16 bits.
