Abstract
The invention is a receiver and a method of receiving data having a preferred application in a satellite. A receiver in accordance with the invention includes at least one memory (118, 120), each memory including an addressable storage array which stores a sequence of data samples contained in a time division multiplexed signal and outputs the stored data samples from a plurality of channels in a sequence of data groups with each data group containing a plurality of samples from one of the plurality of channels; and an outer decoder (102), responsive to data blocks with each data block containing at least one data group, which decodes the data blocks and outputs decoded data blocks.
