Nyquist Filter Printed Circuit Boards - Comtech EF Data SDM-9000 Installation And Operation Manual

SDM-9000 Satellite Modem
The modem provides high performance with:
•
•
•
•
The modem interfaces between Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) fixed-rate terminal
equipment that operates within the following specifications:
•
•
•
The 51.84 Mbit/s data rate is defined by STS-1 (Sonnet specifications).

1.1.1 Nyquist Filter Printed Circuit Boards

The modem features include a Nyquist filter Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for enabling
the user to change data rates at the modulator or demodulator. The modem supports up to
four channels at the following data rate and modulation type combinations:
Modulation Types
Data rate information is automatically recovered from the filter module upon system
power-up or initialization. The installed interface, modulator, and demodulator must be
compatible with the installed filters for proper modem operation. The filters can be
installed in the factory or field.
Refer to Chapter 3 for information about modem configuration.
