Changing the Modem Doppler Tracking Time

4.5.4.2

Changing the Modem Doppler Tracking Time

Softkey

Type

Description

Toggle

Press the softkey to toggle modem Dop-
pler tracking time between slow and fast.

Possible values:

•

slow

•

fast

The HF modem implementation is able to track
the Doppler offset present in the signal at the
receiver.

Therefore the modem can handle such fre-
quency offsets automatically and ensure su-
perior performance over a wide range of
Doppler offsets.

Slow tracking can handle higher offsets, but
the signal acquisition takes longer.

Fast tracking limits the range of frequency off-
set which can be detected.
