Adding the extra 5% to the transmitted data rate, the effective Eb/No seen by the user 
will degrade by a factor of 10log(1.05), or 0.21 dB (0.07dB in the case of the two BPSK 
Turbo rates). The use of an externally synchronized scrambler and descrambler almost 
exactly compensates for this degradation. The net effect is that the user will see 
effectively identical BER performance whether framing is used or not.

When the demodulator locks to the incoming carrier, it must go through the additional 
step of searching for, and locking to the synchronization word. This uniquely identifies 
the start of frame, and permits the extraction of the overhead bytes and flag bits at the 
correct position within the frame. In addition, the start of frame permits the de-scrambler 
to correctly recover the data. The user’s data is extracted, and sent through additional 
processing, in the normal manner. The extracted overhead bytes are examined to 
determine if they contain valid M&C bytes.
