Deals with methods of measurment on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) terminal equipment. There are various types of TDMA systems which may differ, for instance, in the bit rate, the frame/burst format, and/or the acquisition and synchronisation scheme. The methods of measurement are described as generally as possible so that they may be applicable to various TDMA terminal equipment used in many international and regional satellite systems.
