ASM 988A – Manual
1
UNIT DESCRIPTION
The ASM 988A is a satellite modulator. This unit uses an advanced coding in the FEC
layer to operate near Shannon’s theoretical limit of bandwidth efficiency. This unit
accepts a M2P, DVB-SPI, DVB-ASI input transport stream and produces up to a 30
Mbaud modulated signal agile about 70 MHz.
