Plesiochronous/
Doppler Buffer Selectable size of ± 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384 and 32768 bits
Size selection is displayed in bits and milliseconds. Supports asymmetric operation - when buffer is
clocked from Tx clock, Rx and Tx rates do not need to be identical.
Monitor Functions Eb/No estimate, 2 to 16 dB (± 0.25 dB accuracy)
Corrected Bit Error Rate, 1E-3 to 1E-9
Frequency offset, ± 200 kHz range, 100 Hz resolution
Buffer fill state, in percent
Receive signal level (-20 to –90 dBm, accuracy is ± 2.5 dB)

12.3 Automatic Uplink Power Control

Operating Mode Requires Closed Network Framed mode for transport of Eb/No information from remote modem
(EDMAC can be enabled or disabled)
Target Eb/No range 0 to 9.9 dB at remote demod (default is 4.0 dB)
Max AUPC range 0 to 9 dB (default is 3 dB)
Monitor functions Remote demod Eb/No and Tx power level increase
(front panel or via remote control interface)
