I think they do but am not sure. I didn't have time to download firmware from JPL (I'm in Canberra) to get actual data samples. We shoved the signal into a DSN data processor. It has a display, reports rms but no mean. (After all, RF data is always zero mean, right?) I'm wondering about the fiber-optic links. You have some experience with that.

Or do the samples still have zero mean?

Maybe someone has the answer before I start modeling. Thank Tom
