MIL-STD-188-110B 39Tone

General Information

MIL-STD-188-110B-39Tone is a parallel mode which uses 39 orthogonal subcarrier tones in the audio frequency band with quadrature differential phase shift keying (QDPSK) modulation for bit synchronous data transmission. The modulation rate of the modulator output is constant for all data rates. The system supports data rates of 75 to 2400 bps.

Usage:

§ Data communication over HF between departments and agencies of the MOD.
