SDM-300L3 Satellite Modem
Specifications
14.7.16

Receive Input Power (Desired Carrier)

The modem can meet the specified BER and automatically adjust to a receive input power.
The minimum input signal level is –135 dBm + 10 log (Symbol Rate). E.g. (-98 dBm @
4.8 Ks/s). The maximum desired input signal level is –85 dBm + 10 log (symbol rate).
Monitor accuracy is ± 7.5 dB. See Figure 14-2.

Symbol Rate (Ksym/s)

Figure 14-2. Carrier Level vs Symbol Rate

Two like-modulated carriers spaced 1.3 times the symbol rate from the receive
frequency, and/or 1.2 times the acquisition range, whichever is larger.
Each adjacent carrier up to 10 dBc higher in power than the desired carrier.
A single adjacent carrier spaced 1.4 times the symbol rate, up to +20 dBc.
