CDM-570A/570AL Satellite Modem with Optional Packet Processor
Revision 5
Introduction 1–22 MN-CDM570A
1.3.4 DoubleTalk® Carrier- in-Carrier® (CnC)
Requires the two links to share a common carrier frequency (Outbound and Inbound symbol rates do
not have to be equal)
Power Spectral Density Ratio
and CnC Ratio
BSPK/QPSK/8PSK/8-QAM: –7 dB to +11 dB (ratio of power spectral density, outbound interferer to
desired inbound)
16-QAM: –7 dB to +7 dB (ratio of power spectral density, outbound interferer to desired inbound)
Note: With asymmetric carriers, the absolute power ratio (or CnC ratio) would be different, depending
on the ratio of the symbol rates.
Example:
Outbound interferer = 1 Msymbols/sec
Desired Inbound = 500 ksymbols/sec
Ratio of power spectral density = +7 dB
Absolute power ratio (CnC Ratio) = +7dB + (10
log
Outbound/desired symbol rate) = +10 dB

Within the normal acquisition range of the demod, as follows:
CDM-570AL or CDMR-570AL (L-Band):
Below 64 ksymbols/sec: ±1 to ±(Rs/2) kHz, where Rs = symbol rate in ksymbols/sec
Between 64 and 625 ksymbols/sec: ±1 up to a maximum of ±32kHz.
Above 625 ksymbols/sec: ±1 to ±(0.1Rs) kHz, up to a maximum of ±200 kHz
CDM-570A (70/140 MHz):
Below 64 ksymbols/sec: ±1 to ±(Rs/2) kHz, where Rs = symbol rate in ksymbols/sec
Equal to 64 ksymbols/sec and above: ±1 up to a maximum of ±32kHz.
(equal Inbound/Outbound power
spectral density)
BPSK = 0.3dB QPSK = 0.3dB OQPSK = 0.3dB
8PSK = 0.5dB 8-QAM = 0.4dB 16-QAM = 0.6dB
For +10 dB power spectral density ratio (outbound interferer 10 dB higher than desired inbound) add an
Frequency offset (between outbound interferer and desired inbound). 100 Hz resolution
