Paired Carrier
Transmit and receive carriers are overlaid on top of
each other in the same space segment. Echo
cancellation techniques are used in the demodulator
to cancel the transmit carrier and extract the wanted
receive carrier signal .

Description
FastLink 8QAM requires FastLink LDPC
Rate 2/3 8PSK Pragmatic TCM to IESS 310
8PSK Turbo available - requires 2nd Generation Turbo FEC option
16QAM - requires either 2nd Generation Turbo FEC option or LDPC option
Satellite Framing to IESS 309 with low rate Intelsat ESC (to IESS 403) & High Rate IBS/SMS ESC
P1348 Emulation mode for IBS 64kbps carrier (2xaudio) or 128kbps (2xaudio + 64kbps data) - requires IBS / SMS & IDR options
T1/E1 linear order Drop/Insert, plus independent timeslot re-ordering on Tx & Rx. Signalling (E1 CAS & T1 RBS). Rx Partial Insert for multi-destinational working,
Timeslot ID maintenance for N=1 to 31 with IBS / SMS or Closed Net plus ESC. Drop/Insert can operate with any interface, although G.703 is typically used
(requires G.703 option if used in G.703 mode)
Provides a stable G.703 E1 or T1 reference clock over satellite when traffic is NOT E1 or T1
Variable rate synchronous Aux channel for IBS / SMS - requires IBS / SMS option
IDR 32/64kbps in place of one/both audio ADPCM ESC channels - requires IDR option
Custom RS Outer Codec values of n, k and interleaver depth. Custom IBS / SMS modes, allocation of overhead between ESC and Aux channels in IBS / SMS, custom backward alarms in
IBS / SMS, and Closed Net plus ESC - requires IBS/SMS option. Custom IDR mode - requires IDR option.
Internal Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) can run through main data channel, or ESC/Aux channels, or output/input via the terrestrial interface
OM-73 Scrambling, symbol mapping and Viterbi compatibility
48V DC Primary power input in place of 100-240V AC input (hardware option)
Use with 16QAM to relax HPA backoff by up to 1.6dB. Compensates for HPA non-linearities in ground segment and/or transponder. Requires 16QAM option.
Transmit functions only
Receive functions only
Paired Carrier Ready, allows carriers to be overlapped thereby reducing the required satellite bandwidth.
(hardware option) - requires additional cumulative software options below depending upon data rate required

Extends Paired Carrier up to 40Mbps traffic rate - requires 25Mbps option
Extends Paired Carrier up to 50Mbps traffic rate - requires 40Mbps option
Extends Paired Carrier up to 60Mbps traffic rate - requires 50Mbps option
PAIRED CARRIER MODEM SCHEMATIC
Paired Carrier technology allows both the uplink and
downlink signals to occupy the same space segment.
An adaptive self-interference cancellation technique
removes the uplink signal components generated by
the local terminal from the received signal off satellite,
allowing demodulation of the far end signal.
