1.2.1DoubleTalk™ Carrier-in-Carrier®

Designed for bandwidth compression, Carrier-in-Carrier is based on Applied Signal Technology’s DoubleTalk which uses “Adaptive Cancellation,” a patented (Unites States Patent # 6,859,641) technology that allows full duplex satellite links to transmit concurrently in the same segment of transponder bandwidth. Available as an option to the modem, this added dimension can result in a significant improvement in satellite transponder utilization.

1.2.2Software – Flash Upgrading

The internal software is both powerful and flexible, permitting storage and retrieval of up to 10 different modem configurations. The modem uses ‘flash memory’ technology internally, and new firmware can be uploaded to the unit from an external PC. This simplifies software upgrading, and updates can now be sent via the Internet, e-mail, or on disk. The upgrade can be performed without opening the unit by simply connecting the modem to the USB port or Ethernet port of a computer.

1.2.3Verification

The Modem includes many test modes and loopbacks for rapid verification of the correct functioning of the unit. Of particular interest is the IF loopback, which permits the user to perform a quick diagnostic test without having to disturb external cabling. During loopback, all of the receive configuration parameters on the selected Demodulator are temporarily changed to match those of the selected Modulator, and an internal RF switch connects the modulator output to the demodulator input. When normal operation is again selected, all of the previous values are restored.
