  • Page 16: Chapter 1 Overview

    CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW To achieve a high spectrum efficiency, the i580 digital multi-service, data-capable portable uses a unique modulation technology and sophisticated voice-compression algorithm. The voice of the person speaking into the microphone is converted into a digital bit stream consisting of zeros (0) and ones (1).
  • Page 17 OVERVIEW: i DEN Digital Modulation Technology RL 0dBm Power (dB) Figure 1-1. Spectrum of i DEN Quad 16QAM Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) is one of the most common modulation techniques for satellite communications. In QPSK, a digital data stream is taken two bits at a time to generate four possible phase states of the transmitted carrier.

    OVERVIEW: i DEN Voice Compression Technology (GPS) system. Each burst is numbered; the number is referred to as the slot number. All bursts occurring at a given time carry the same slot number. Inbound transmission bursts (sent from the unit) are offset 19 milliseconds from the outbound burst; the inbound burst begins 4 milliseconds after the end of the outbound burst (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-3).
