DMD50 Universal Satellite Modem
The link budget summary for the different MODCOD combinations is as follows:
S. No. Modulation & FEC
1 8-QAM, LDPC 2/3
2 QPSK, LDPC 3/4
3 QPSK, LDPC 2/3
4 QPSK, LDPC 1/2
Based on this analysis, QPSK, LDPC 2/3 with Carrier-in-Carrier provides the maximum savings
of 40%.
In addition to 40% reduction in Leased Bandwidth, using Carrier-in-Carrier also reduced the
required HPA Power by almost 40%:
