CDM-760 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem
The link budget summary for the different ModCod combinations is:
S. No.
Modulation & FEC
1
S2 8PSK 5/6
2
S2 8PSK 8/9
3
S2 16APSK 2/3
4
S2 16APSK 5/6
Based on this analysis, S2 16APSK 2/3 with CnC provides the maximum savings of 31%.
J.4.6.1
Asymmetric Data Rate Link
As occupied (or allocated) bandwidth of a CnC circuit is dictated by the larger of the two carriers,
it is strongly recommended that the smaller carrier be spread as much as possible using a lower
order modulation and/or FEC, while meeting the CnC ratio spec. Spreading the smaller carrier
using a lower order modulation has multiple benefits:
•
Lower order modulation is always more robust;
•
Lower order modulation uses less transponder power – this reduces total required transponder
power, and increases available link margin;
•
Lower order modulation uses less transmit power on the ground – this can significantly
reduce the BUC/SSPA size not only by reducing the transmit EIRP, but also by reducing the
BUC/SSPA backoff.
Consider this example:
Satellite & Transponder
Earth Station 1
Earth Station 2
Data Rate
While the traditional link was based on 8PSK, TPC 3/4 and required 27.8 MHz of leased bandwidth,
the CnC link was based on 8PSK 3/4 and 8PSK 3/5 and required 19.3 MHz of leased bandwidth.
