DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Installation Installation Requirements The modem is shipped fully assembled. It does not require removal of the covers for any purpose in installation. The power supply itself is designed for universal application using from 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, 1.0A.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Installation Removal and Assembly The Modem is shipped fully assembled. It does not require removal of the covers for any purpose in installation. Always ensure that power is removed from the before removing or installing any optional modules. Failure to do so may cause damage to the equipment.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Installation connection at all times. Therefore, it is imperative during installation, configuration, and operation that the user ensures that the unit has been properly grounded using the ground stud provided on the rear panel of the unit.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Installation Modulator Checkout The following descriptions assume that the unit is installed in a suitable location with prime AC power and supporting equipment available. 2.6.1 Initial Power-Up Before initial power up of the unit, it is a good idea to disconnect the transmit output from the operating ground station equipment.
Turbo Codec printed circuit card and one of several types of Interface printed circuit card (refer to Appendix A). A block diagram of the Modem is shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 Block Diagram MN-DMD20-20LBST Revision 14 3–1...
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.1.1 L-Band/IF Printed Circuit Card The L-Band/IF Printed Circuit Card consists of an analog modulation function, an analog complex down conversion, and two wide-band digital synthesizers. The block diagram of the L-Band/IF Assembly is shown in Figure 3-2.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.1.2 Baseband Processing Printed Circuit Card The advent of million-plus gate count FPGAs, advanced logic synthesis tools, and DSPs providing hundreds of MIPs enabled the design of a software configurable modem. Large, fast FPGAs now provide designers with what is essentially an on the fly programmable ASIC.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation Figure 3-3 Universal Satellite Modem Functional Block Diagram 3.2.1 Front Panel The Front Panel includes a 2 x 16 backlit LCD Display, Indicator LEDs, and a Numeric Keypad (refer to Chapter 4). 3.2.2 Baseband Processing The Baseband Processor performs all of the functions required for an IBS/IDR Framing Unit, a Reed-Solomon Codec, and an E1/T1 Drop and Insert System.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.2.3 Tx Baseband Processing The Tx Data and Clock enters the Baseband Processor, passes through a Rate Adapting FIFO and enters the Framer/Drop Processor. In IDR, IBS, and D&I Modes, the framer adds the appropriate framing and ESC as defined in IESS-308 and 309.
Control and status messages are conveyed between the modem and all subsidiary modems and the host computer using packetized message blocks in accordance with a proprietary communications specification. This communication is handled by the Radyne Link Level Protocol (RLLP), which serves as a protocol ‘wrapper’ for the RM&C data. Complete information on monitor and control software is contained in the following sections.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.3.4 Modem Monitor Status The modems M&C system is connected to most of the circuitry on any board contained in the chassis. These connections provide status on the working condition of the circuitry as well as providing the data required for the various measurements the modem provides.

DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation Clocking Options The modem supports a number of different clocking options that can be recovered from the satellite or the terrestrial links. The various clocking options allow users to determine which clock will best fit their applications. Figure 3-7 gives an overview on how the modem processes the various clocks for the Tx Clock source and the Rx Buffer Clock source.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation The following paragraphs define the types of clocking options available to the user at the Front Panel. SCT (Internal Oscillator) SCTE (External Tx Terrestrial Clock) Rx Satellite Clock 3.7.1.1 SCTE: Serial Clock Transmit External The SCTE clock is the Transmit Terrestrial Clock associated with the data interface.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation The modem handles RX Buffer clock selections based on source priority levels. The user assigns priorities to the clock sources based on source selections. Source 1 has the highest priority and Source 5 being the last resort or lowest priority. If a fallback clock is selected and activity is lost at the highest priority source, the modem will fall back to the next highest priority clock with activity.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.7.3 EXT REF: External Reference, Top BNC Port, J10 This is not actually a clock, but does have some clocking implications. When the external reference is used, the master oscillator within the modem is locked to the external reference, and the internal accuracy and stability of the unit assumes that of the External Reference.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation The DMD20 & 20LBST supports Radyne HDLC and Comtech HDLC modes, offering compatibility with the SLM5650A Bridge Interface. IMPORTANT Reed-Solomon Codec Refer to Figure 3-8, Figure 3-9, and Table 3-1. IMPORTANT Utilizing a Reed-Solomon (R-S) Outer Codec concatenated with a Convolutional Inner Codec is an effective way to produce very low error rates even for poor signal-to-noise ratios while requiring only a small increase in transmission bandwidth.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.9.3 Interleaving Interleaving depths of 4, 8, or 12 R-S blocks are allowed. This allows burst errors to be spread over multiple blocks in order to enhance the error correcting performance of the R-S Codec. For Intelsat Network Modes, the interleaving depth is automatically set to 4 for QPSK or BPSK, or 8 for 8PSK.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.10 Asynchronous Overhead Operation (Framing/Multiplexer Capability) The Asynchronous Framing/Multiplexer is capable of multiplexing a relatively low-speed overhead channel onto the terrestrial data stream resulting in a slightly higher combined or aggregate data rate through the modem. The overhead channel is recovered at the far end. This added channel is termed variously “An Overhead Channel”, ”Service Channel”, “Async Channel”...
3.14 Satellite Control Channel (SCC) The SCC format uses a variable overhead rate to transmit an asynchronous data channel in addition to the normal data channel. The SCC asynchronous mode implemented on the DMD20 is "PassThru" Mode. MN-DMD20-20LBST Revision 14...
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation In Pass Thru Mode, there is no formatting or deformatting of the input data in the buffer, and it is transmitted on a first-in first-out basis. In band data entering the remote port is inserted into the user data stream.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.14.2 Aggregate Data Rate The aggregate data rate equals: User Data Rate + In-Band Rate + Synchronizing Overhead Rate Because SCC adjusts the overhead so that there are an equal number of user data bits in each slot, the synchronizing overhead cannot be easily calculated.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.14.4 Actual Overhead Rate Calculation The following is the actual calculation the modem does to calculate the overhead ratio: The modem calculates the minimum in-band rate to limit the size of the user data slots to 2,500 bits (the result is truncated to an integer).
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.14.5 SCC Overhead Channel Setup 1. Set the Framing Mode (located under Mod and Demod Data Menus) to SCC. After doing this, two new menus will appear to the right of the Framing Menu, for both the Mod and Demod.

CnC was first introduced in Comtech EF Data products in the CDM-Qx Satellite Modem and, more recently, in the CLO-10 Link Optimizer. The implementation of DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier in the Radyne DMD20 has been further refined, and some of the limitations that existed in the CDM-Qx implementation have been overcome.

Page 89
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 4) Link Asymmetries: Various asymmetries in the forward and return link can produce differences in the relative power of the two received signal components. These can be both deterministic (static) or random (and time varying). An example of the former would be the differences resulting from antenna size/gain variations between the two ends of the link.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.15.3 Operational Recommendations The rules for CnC operation are summarized below: • Both earth stations share the same footprint so each sees both carriers; • CnC carriers are operated in pairs; • One outbound with multiple return carriers is not allowed;...
The transponder downlinks the composite signal containing both carriers on the same band to the Radyne DMD20 which then translates the signal to near baseband where it can be filtered (decimated) and then processed as a complex envelope signal. The Radyne DMD20 then suppresses the version of the near end carrier on the downlink side and then passes the desired carrier to the demodulator for normal processing.

DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation One possible way to mitigate false peaks is to narrow the correlation window. 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.

DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.15.8.2 Asymmetric Data Rate Link As occupied (or allocated) bandwidth of a Carrier-in-Carrier 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 PSD ratio spec.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.15.8.3 Power Limited Links Carrier-in-Carrier can provide substantial savings even when the original link is power limited. Spreading the carrier by using a lower modulation and/or FEC along with latest FEC such as VersaFEC can substantially reduce the total power which can then be traded with bandwidth using Carrier-in-Carrier.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.15.9 Carrier-in-Carrier Commissioning and Deployment Prior to commissioning a Carrier-in-Carrier link, it is critical that the link is fully tested in non Carrier-in-Carrier mode and all system issues including external interference, antenna pointing, cabling, SSPA backoff are resolved.
DMD20/20LBST Universal Satellite Modem Theory of Operation 3.15.10 Validating Carrier-in-Carrier Performance Carrier-in-Carrier performance can be easily validated by verifying that Eb/No degradation due to Carrier-in-Carrier is within published specification for the observed Power Spectral Density Ratio. The following procedure is recommended for validating Carrier-in-Carrier performance:...
