CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem Revision 2 Serial-based Remote Product Management MN-CDM750 Character Definition If the Controller sends an instruction to set a parameter to a particular value, and the value sent is not valid, the Target then acknowledges the message and responds with, for example, TFQ? (with no message arguments). This indicates that there was an (ASCII code 63) error in the message sent by the Controller.

ACM may be used in packet‐based satellite links (as when using the CDM‐750 with Ethernet Interface) to boost system throughput. The basic goal of ACM is to capture historically unused satellite system link ...
Page 236: Background
CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem Revision 2 Appendix C MN-CDM750 Background The CDM‐750 system is based on DVB‐S2 standards. The DVB standardized a suite of 28 ModCods that work over an Es/No range of ‐2.3 dB to 16.0 dB (ideal). They have also defined much of the system for both ACM and a related feature called Variable Coding and Modulation (VCM) . DVB‐S2 did not specify the means of passing necessary information between system ...

ETHERNET‐BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT • Chapter 7. SERIAL‐BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT The CDM‐750 provides a number of ways to monitor the ACM system: • Via the CDM‐750 Front Panel: Use the MONITOR: ACM front panel menu to view the current Tx and Rx ModCod , as well as the Local and Remote Es/No. The Es/No displays values between –3.0 dB and +23.0 dB, with a resolution of 0.1 dB. If either the local or remote demodulator is unlocked, the Es/No will display ‘No Sync’. Note that you may often see that the RX ModCod is “00”. This is normal when there is no real data being received. DVB‐S2 states that when no data is available, the modulator should insert a Dummy PLFRAME. These Dummy PLFRAMEs are used to keep the demod locked, but contain no user data and have a ModCod value of “00”. If you wish to see the exact detail of the ModCod (data rate, modulation, code rate), ...
Page 253: Acm Congestion Control
WAN link is instantaneously increased. This is not a problem, as the link will adapt to push more packets/second through the link. Conversely, when the ACM controller switches from a higher to a lower ModCod, the bandwidth of the WAN link is instantaneously reduced. The CDM-750 Ethernet Switch auto-negotiates Pause Frame compatibility Figure C-8. CDM-750 – ACM Congestion Control As shown in Figure C‐8, in order to mitigate packet loss when bandwidth is reduced, the CDM‐750 incorporates a WAN buffer. When this WAN buffer cannot accommodate the amount of Ethernet traffic due to the WAN bandwidth, the CDM‐750 can be configured to initiate a method for congestion control. The means to do this is by enabling Flow Control. ...

CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem Revision 2 Appendix C MN-CDM750 • ACM is 100% compatible with DoubleTalk Carrier‐in‐Carrier (CnC). • ACM maximizes throughput not only when Es/No varies due to atmospheric conditions, but it also mitigates the effects of other impairments such as antenna pointing error, excessive phase noise, and certain types of interference. However, rapidly fluctuating impairments, such as scintillation at low antenna look‐angles at C‐band, will generally not be improved by ACM or will require abnormally large Target Es/No Margin. • ACM modes are not compatible with CCM modes, due to differences in frame preambles.

Page 259 CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem Revision 2 Appendix D MN-CDM750 This performance is achieved through advanced signal processing algorithms that provide superior cancellation while tracking and compensating for the following common link impairments: 1) Time varying delay: In addition to the static delays of the electronics and the round‐trip delay associated with propagation to the satellite and back, there is a time‐varying component due to movement of the satellite. The CnC module tracks and compensates for this variation. 2) Frequency offset and drift: Common sources are satellite Doppler shift, up and down ...
Page 260: Operational Details
CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem Revision 2 Appendix D MN-CDM750 In a number of ways, CnC carriers behave similar to conventional carriers in satellite links. Both are exposed to adjacent carriers, cross‐polarization, and rain fade, and exhibit impairments when any of these become too great. CnC additionally operates in an environment where: • Carriers intentionally occupy the same spectral slot, and • Performance depends upon desired and co‐located interfering carrier.

Page 263: Table D-1. Spectral Efficiency Using Doubletalk Carrier-In-Carrier
CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem Revision 2 Appendix D MN-CDM750 CDM‐750 CnC operates from 1 to 63 Msps. Interference will compromise CnC links just as they do non‐CnC links. Acquisition of the demodulator is improved by minimizing the delay search range; for example, if the delay is known to be around 240ms, set the minimum search delay to 230ms and the maximum search delay to 250ms. As advances in modem technologies – including advanced modulation and FEC techniques – approach their theoretical limits of power and bandwidth efficiencies, CnC allows satellite users to achieve spectral efficiencies (bps/Hz) that cannot be achieved with modulation and FEC alone. ...

CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem Revision 2 Appendix D MN-CDM750 D.4.7 Commissioning and Deploying Carrier-in-Carrier Prior to commissioning a Carrier‐in‐Carrier link, it is critical that the link is fully tested non-CnC mode in and all system issues – including external interference, antenna pointing, cabling, and SSPA backoff – are resolved. Only after the link is robust should the user attempt turning on CnC. Comtech EF Data recommends that you follow these steps to commission and deploy CnC: Step Task Turn ON the carrier at Site A.

Page 281: Appendix E. Es/No Measurement
Appendix E. Es/No MEASUREMENT Although the CDM‐750 Advanced High‐Speed Trunking Modem calculates and displays the value of receive Es/No on the front panel of the unit, it is sometimes useful to measure the value using a spectrum analyzer, if one is available. The idea is to accurately measure the value of (Co+No)/No (Carrier density + Noise density/Noise density). This is accomplished by tuning the center frequency of the Spectrum analyzer to the signal of interest, and measuring the difference between the peak spectral density of the signal (the flat part of the spectrum shown) and the noise density. To make this measurement: • Use a vertical scale of 1 or 2 dB/division. • Set the Resolution Bandwidth of the Spectrum Analyzer to < 20% of the symbol rate. • Use video filtering and/or video averaging to reduce the variance in the displayed trace ...
Page 282 CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem Revision 2 Appendix E MN-CDM750 Example: In the diagram that follows, the (Co+No)/No measured is 4.6 dB. If Rate 1/2 QPSK is used, this corresponds to an Es/No of approximately 2.8 dB (DVB‐S2). The relationship used to derive the table values (the only simple way for DVB‐S2) is as follows: ...

CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem Revision 2 Appendix F MN-CDM750 with other routers to describe or determine the best way to direct network traffic from ‘Point A’ to ‘Point B’. Ethernet Configuration Examples This section explains the problems with Ethernet Networking Loops, and how to properly design applications architecture for handling Standard traffic and Split‐path traffic. Standard traffic is defined as Rx and Tx Ethernet traffic using the same port on the same router or switch, whereas split‐path traffic is Rx and Tx Ethernet traffic using different ports of the same router or switch. F.3.1 Ethernet Network Overview When placing modems in a network, there are a number of issues that must be addressed – first and foremost on the list of concerns is whether implementation of the switches in the network will cause a Networking Loop. This is problematic because a Networking Loop will cause a Broadcast Storm, which shuts down the network and causes harm to devices in that network. Figure F-1. Networking Loop with Switches Figure F‐1 illustrates a Networking Loop with switches. The problem with this configuration is ...

Appendix H. FEC (FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION) Introduction The CDM‐750 Advanced High‐Speed Trunking Modem operates with error correction based on the DVB‐S2 standard for QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK and 32APSK with concatenated Low Density Parity Code (LDPC) and Bose‐Chaudhuri‐Hocquenghem (BCH). DVB-S2: LDPC and BCH The DVB‐S2 specification defines a generation of performance that boosts throughput by about 30% over DVB‐S while using the same amount of bandwidth. The result is coding and modulation that surpasses the capability of concatenated Viterbi and Reed Solomon coding. LDPC and BCH is also a concatenated error correction technique; the LDPC coding scheme features ...
