General Information
The AN/TSC-93A and AN/TSC-93B terminals contain equipment to receive, transmit, and process medium and high capacity multiplexed voice, data, and teletypewriter circuits. Using encryption equipment, they will process secure and nonsecure traffic. The terminals are intended for point-to-point operation in tactical communications systems. They can simultaneously transmit and receive a single high data-rate carrier. The terminals include modulation and demodulation equipment and a specialized PCM signal processor. Digital interfaces are set up using external connections for an intercommunications set, field telephones, wideband 70 MHz, and CBR alarm. These terminals are used as a communications link via satellite with the AN/TSC-85A, or another AN/TSC-93A.
