CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module Revision 4 Forward Error Correction Options MN/CDM570L.IOM OQPSK is a different situation again, where the ambiguities result not only from not having an absolute phase reference, but also not knowing which of the two parallel paths in the demod, I or Q, contains the half-symbol delay.
Chapter 8. OFFSET QPSK OPERATION Offset QPSK modulation is a variation of normal QPSK, which is offered in the CDM-570/570L. Normal, bandlimited, QPSK produces an RF signal envelope that necessarily goes through a point of zero amplitude when the modulator transitions through non-adjacent phase states.

CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module Revision 4 Clocking Modes MN/CDM570L.IOM 9.1.2 Tx Terrestrial In this mode, the modem expects to see the DTE provide the clock, so that it can phase- lock its internal circuits. In this case, the modem does not provide any signal on ST, but instead requires a clock signal on Terminal Timing (TT), synchronous with the data.
CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module Revision 4 Clocking Modes MN/CDM570L.IOM Receive Clocking There are three receive clocking modes in the CDM-570L, plus an additional setting used for Drop and Insert only – see later section. 9.2.1 Buffer Disabled (Rx Satellite) When the buffer is disabled, the receive clock (Receive Timing, or RT) is derived directly from the demodulator, and hence will be subject to plesiochronous and Doppler offsets.
Chapter 10. EDMAC CHANNEL 10.1 Theory Of Operation As explained earlier, EDMAC is an acronym for Embedded Distant-end Monitor And Control. This is a feature which permits the user to access the M&C features of modems which are at the distant-end of a satellite link. This is accomplished by adding extra information to the user’s data, but in a manner which is completely transparent to the user.
