The new generation of DCP transmitters apply Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding technology to reduce interference and, thereby, give a substantial system improvement.
This new HRDCP is now available to the user community for meteorological and hydrological applications.
Signal Engineering's OmniSat-3 DCP transmitter has been certified against the latest EUMETSAT standards for High Data Rate (@1200 bps) and Standard Data Rate (@100 bps) transmissions. The DCP is certified for operation on any channel and supports Self-Timed and Alert Reporting.
The OmniSat-3 is also certified in the US to the GOES Version 2 DCP standard for 300 bps and 1200 bps operation.
Signal Engineering has provided Meteosat and GOES transmitters to the world market since 1993.
