Carrier-in-Carrier Summary

Comtech EF Data's DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier can provide significant savings in operational
expenses. The following should be considered when evaluating DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier:
•
DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier can only be used for full duplex links where the
transmitting earth station is able to receive itself.
•
DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier can be used in both bandwidth limited and power limited
situations.
•
The maximum savings is generally achieved when the original link is symmetric in data
rate.
MN-DMD50 Revision 4
Requires the two links to share a common carrier frequency (Outbound and Inbound
symbol rates do not have to be equal)
BSPK/QPSK/8-PSK/8-QAM: –7 dB to +11 dB (ratio of power spectral density,
outbound interferer to desired inbound)
16-QAM: –7 dB to +7 dB (ratio of power spectral density, outbound interferer to desired
inbound)
Note: With asymmetric carriers the absolute power ratio (or CnC ratio) would be
different, depending on the ratio of the symbol rates.
Example:
Outbound interferer = 1 Msymbols/sec
Desired Inbound = 500 ksymbols/sec
Ratio of power spectral density = +7 dB
Absolute power ratio (CnC Ratio) = +7dB + (10 log Outbound/desired symbol rate) =
+10 dB
3:1 (TX:RX or RX:TX)
Within the normal acquisition range of the demod, as follows:
Below 32 ksymbols/sec: ±1 to ± (Rs/2) kHz, where Rs = symbol rate in ksymbols/sec
Between 32 and 389 ksymbols/sec: ± 1up to a maximum of ± 32kHz
Above 389 ksymbols/sec: ±1 to ± (0.1Rs) kHz, up to a maximum of ± 200 kHz
0-330 ms
BPSK = 0.3dB QPSK = 0.3dB
8-PSK = 0.5dB 8-QAM = 0.4dB 16-QAM = 0.6dB
For +10 dB power spectral density ratio (outbound interferer 10 dB higher than desired
inbound) add an additional 0.3 dB
Delay, in milliseconds
Frequency offset (between outbound interferer and desired inbound). 100 Hz resolution
