CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem Revision 13
DoubleTalk
Carrier-in-Carrier Option MN-CDM625
10–29
10.7 DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier Specifications
Operating Mode
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/8-PSK/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
Maximum Symbol Rate Ratio 3:1 (TX:RX or RX:TX)
frequency uncertainty
Within the normal acquisition range of the demod, as follows:
• Below 64 ksymbols/sec: ±1 to ±(Rs/2) kHz, where Rs = symbol rate in ksymbols/sec
• Between 64 and 389 ksymbols/sec: ± 1up to a maximum of ± 32kHz
•
Above 389 ksymbols/sec: ±1 to ± (0.1Rs) kHz, up to a maximum of ± 200 kHz
Delay range 0-330 ms
Eb/No Degradation
(equal Inbound/Outbound
power spectral density)
• BPSK = 0.3dB • QPSK = 0.3dB • OQPSK = 0.3dB
• 8-PSK = 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 additional 0.3 dB
Monitor Functions
