Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) Codec (Optional plug-in card):

 

Rate 1/2 BPSK/QPSK/OQPSK

 

Rate 2/3 QPSK/OQPSK/8-PSK/8-QAM

 

Rate 3/4 QPSK/OQPSK/8-PSK/8-QAM/16-QAM

Output frequency

CDM-600:52 - 88 MHz, 104 - 176 MHz, 100 Hz resolution – units manufactured prior to February 2005

 

CDM-600(E):50 - 90 MHz, 100 - 180 MHz, 100 Hz resolution – units manufactured after February 2005

 

Stability ±1.5 ppm, 0 to 50oC (32 to 122 oF) (standard stability internal reference)

 

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

Output impedance

50 and 75 , front panel selectable

 

21 dB minimum return loss

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

By TTL 'low' signal or external contact closure - hardware function automatically over-rides processor

Carrier Off
