Comtech EF Data CDM-625A - CONFIG: Tx  Mod (Modulation)

CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem MN-CDM625A
Front Panel Operation Revision 4
6–18
Otherwise, when Diff Encoder is selectable on the bottom line:
CONFIG: Tx  FEC  Diff Encoder On
Enc=None(Vit,Seq,TCM,TPC,LDPC,VFEC,ULL)
Diff Encoder=On (Off,On) ()
Use the
▲▼ arrow keys to select the Diff Encoder as On or Off. Press ENTER:
When you select Differential Encoding=OFF, there is no way for the modem to
resolve the phase ambiguities associated with PSK modulations. For BPSK there is a
50% chance that the polarity of the data will be correct. In QPSK there is a 25%
chance that the data will be correct.
6.2.1.3.5 CONFIG: Tx  Mod (Modulation)
Mod=QPSK (B,Q,OQ,8PSK,16Q,8QAM)
FEC Rate=1/2 (1/2,3/4,7/8) ()
Use the
◄ ►arrow keys to select the Mod (modulation type) (top line) or the FEC Rate (bottom
line). Press ENTER. Then, use the
▲▼ arrow keys to change that parameter selection. The
Encoder type dictates the Modulation Type and FEC rate selections:
