CDM-Qx Satellite Modem Revision 5
Summary of Specifications MN/CDMQx.IOM
A–3
A.2 Demodulator
FEC, Data rate range, operating modes, descrambling, input impedance/return loss etc, as
per Modulator
Input power range
(70/140MHz IF)
-15 to -45 dBm, < 2.048 Msps (desired carrier)
-15 to -40 dBm, > 2.048 and <
4.096 Msps (desired carrier)
-15 to -35 dBm > 4.096 Msps (desired carrier)
+35 dBc maximum composite, up to -5 dBm
Input power range
(L-Band)
-130 + 10log(Symbol Rate in Hz) minimum signal level
50dB AGC range
Acquisition range
±1 to ±32 kHz, programmable in 1kHz increments (below 64 ksps, ± symbol rate/2) (70/140)
±1 to ± (symbol rate/2) kHz up to ± 200kHz (L-Band)
Acquisition time
Highly dependent on data rate, FEC rate, and demodulator acquisition range.
Note that Reed-Solomon increases acquisition time, due to the additional time taken for the
RS decoder to declare synchronization.
Clock tracking range
± 100 ppm min
