All R-S modes - externally frame synchronized per IESS-308/309/310
FEC None: Uncoded BPSK/QPSK/OQPSK
Viterbi: k=7, per IESS-308/309
BPSK: Rate 1/2
QPSK/OQPSK: Rate 1/2, Rate 3/4 and Rate 7/8
16-QAM: Rate 3/4 and Rate 7/8 (Viterbi plus Reed-Solomon only)

219/201 for IESS-310 mode
Reed-Solomon (Closed Network):
220,200 outer code (transparent mode)
225,205 outer code (transparent mode, EF Data compatible, V.35 scrambling)
126,112 outer code (transparent mode, IBS parameters, D&I++ mode)
219,201 outer code (transparent mode, IESS-310 parameters)
200,180 outer code (EDMAC modes)
Interleaver depth = 4 or 8 (Viterbi, depending on mode)
Interleaver depth = 8 (Sequential)

Stability ±0.02 ppm, 0 to 50oC (32 to 122 oF) (Optional High-stability internal reference)
Harmonics/spurious Better than -55 dBC/4 kHz (typically <-60 dBC/4kHz) – measured from 25 to 400 MHz
Transmit on/off ratio 55 dB minimum
Output phase noise < 0.480rms double sided, 100 Hz to 1MHz
(minimum of 16 dB better overall than the INTELSAT IESS-308/309 requirement)
Output power 0 to -20 dBm, 0.1 dB steps - manual mode. See Automatic Uplink Power Control section also.
Power accuracy ±0.5 dB over frequency and temperature

21 dB minimum return loss
Output connector BNC female
Clocking options Internal, ±1.5ppm or 0.02 ppm (SCT)
External, locking over a ±100 ppm range (TT)
Loop timing (Rx satellite clock) - supports asymmetric operation - Rx and Tx data rates do not need to be
identical
External Clock
External TX
Carrier Off
By TTL 'low' signal or external contact closure - hardware function automatically over-rides processor
