One possible way to mitigate false peaks is to narrow the correlation window. For example, if the
delay is known to be around 240ms, set the minimum search delay to 230ms and the maximum
search delay to 250ms.
As all advances in modem technologies – including advanced modulation and FEC techniques –
approach their theoretical limits of power and bandwidth efficiencies, CnC allows satellite users to
achieve spectral efficiencies (bps/Hz) that cannot be achieved with modulation and FEC alone.
Table shows how CnC, when used with 16-QAM, approaches the bandwidth efficiency of 256-
QAM (8bps/Hz).
Table G-1. Spectral Efficiency using DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier
As shown here, CnC allows equivalent spectral efficiency using a lower order modulation and/or
FEC Code Rate; CAPEX is therefore reduced by allowing the use of a smaller BUC/HPA and/or
antenna. And, as CnC can be used to save transponder bandwidth and/or transponder power, it
can be successfully deployed in bandwidth-limited as well as power-limited scenarios.
G.3.1 DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier Cancellation Process
The signal processing technology employed via CnC continually estimates and tracks all
parametric differences between the local uplink signal and its image within the downlink. Through
advanced adaptive filtering and phase locked loop implementations, it dynamically compensates
for these differences by appropriately adjusting the delay, frequency, phase and amplitude of the
sampled uplink signal, resulting in optimal cancellation performance.
When a full duplex satellite connection is established between two sites, separate satellite
channels are allocated for each direction. If both directions transmitted on the same channel,
each side would normally find it impossible to extract the desired signal from the aggregate due to
interference originating from its local modulator. However, since this interference is produced
locally, it is possible to estimate and remove its influence prior to demodulation of the data
transmitted from the remote location.
