Thales Systeme-3000 Skymaster ALE

The signal reported here was heard on 2 May at 10.254.0 KHz on USB, around 0730z, and it is  Thales proprietary ALE protocol called Skymaster



The initial part of the signal SDPSK (Symmerical Differential PSK) modulation at 2000 Baud speed and carrier frequency ~1600 Hz; as you see, transitions do not traverse the origin and the information is stored in the transitions and not in the (four) states.



The initial part is followed by short MFSK-8  125 Baud segment that is not compatible with MS 188-141 2G-ALE although the scope be the same.




The initial SDPSK part exhibits a 50ms ACF that corresponds to a 100-bit frame.


This proprietary waveform is used in their TRC-3500/TRC-3600 and TRC-3700 series radios.
