Clocking Options

The modem supports a number of different clocking options that can be recovered from the
satellite or the terrestrial links. The various clocking options allow users to determine which
clock will best fit their applications. Figure 3-7 gives an overview on how the modem processes
the various clocks for the Tx Clock source and the Rx Buffer Clock source. Tx and Rx Clocks
may be independently locked.

3.7.1 TX Clock Options

TX clock options can be recovered from the terrestrial interface, satellite interface or internally
generated. The allows users to select SCTE Clock (Terrestrial) or the SCT internal clock. The
modem also allows user to recover the SCT Clock from the satellite (SCR) or from the modem
internally. The modem allows users to select clock polarity. The Tx clock selections available
are:
