1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1. SLM-5650B Satellite Modem
The SLM-5650B Satellite Modem (Figure 1-1) satisfies the requirements for government and
military communications system applications that require state-of-the-art modulation and coding
techniques to optimize satellite transponder bandwidth usage, while retaining backward
compatibility.
The SLM-5650B:
• Supports baseband data rates up to 155.52 Mbps, and its flexible modulation and
Forward Error Correction (FEC) capabilities ensure that the throughput and Bit Error Rate
(BER) over the satellite is optimized.
• Is compliant with the provisions of Department of Defense (DoD) Standard MIL-STD-188-
165A, Interoperability of SHF Satellite Communications PSK Modems (Frequency
Division Multiple Access [FDMA] Operation).
• Is fully interoperable with legacy OM-73 modems and other Government owned
Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and International Telecommunications Satellite
Organization (Intelsat) compatible Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modems.
• Can be controlled and monitored from a variety of platforms, including its own front panel
controls and indicators, and/or a co-located Personal Computer (PC).
