Page 34: Features
User Manual for AZ430 WAN Satellite Modem Features 6 FEATURES The Noise and Distortion Estimator (NoDE) 6.1.1 Introduction NoDE (Noise & Distortion Estimator) simplifies ground station operation activities and enables an efficient usage of transponders. NoDE is a unique and innovative tool that simplifies ground station operation activities by providing a means to monitor the quality of the satellite link. - Page 35 User Manual for AZ430 WAN Satellite Modem Features It is commonly accepted that a transmission is considered as error-free when the PER (Packet Error Rate) at the reception side is below 10 . For each DVB-S2 modcod, as shown in Figure 14, a minimum value (Es/No) guarantees quasi error free transmission.
- Page 36 User Manual for AZ430 WAN Satellite Modem Features By observing the evolution of (Es/No) + Δ functioning in a variation of the uplink power, NoDE can also help the operator to find the optimal operational point of the transponder without interrupting the transmission.
