CDM-600 Satellite Modem Revision 7
Forward Error Correction Options MN/CDM600.IOM
7–8
It is clear that in order to provide the best possible performance over the range of code rates
from 1/2 to 0.95, both an LDPC and a TPC codec need to be offered.
In order to meet this requirement, Comtech EF Data has developed a combination
LDPC/TPC Codec module that can be added to the CDM-600 Modem, and which provides
the following operating modes:
