CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem Overview

The CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem builds on our legacy of providing the most efficient and reliable satellite modems. With support for VersaFEC® Forward Error Correction (FEC), the revolutionary DoubleTalk Carrier-inCarrier bandwidth compression, additional rolloffs and advanced packet processing, the CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem provides significant savings under all conditions. This combination of advanced technologies enables multi-dimensional optimization, allowing satellite communications users to:

  • Minimize operating expenses (OPEX)
  • Maximize throughput without using additional transponder resources
  • Maximize availability (margin) without using additional transponder resources
  • Minimize capital expenses (CAPEX) by allowing a smaller BUC/HPA and/or antenna
  • Or, a combination to meet specific business needs

Doubletalk Carrier-in-Carrier

DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier, based on patented “Adaptive Cancellation” technology, allows transmit and receive carriers of a duplex link to share the same transponder bandwidth. DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier is complementary to all advances in modem technology, including advanced FEC and modulation techniques. As these technologies approach theoretical limits of power and bandwidth efficiencies, DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier utilizing advanced signal processing techniques provides a new dimension in bandwidth efficiency.

CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem Figure

Figure 1 shows the typical full-duplex satellite link, where the two carriers are adjacent to each other.

Figure 2 shows the typical DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier operation, where the two carriers are overlapping, thus sharing the same spectrum.

When observed on a spectrum analyzer, only the Composite is visible. Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 are shown in Figure 2 for reference only.

As DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier allows equivalent spectral efficiency using a lower order modulation and/or code rate, it can reduce the power required to close the link thereby reducing CAPEX by allowing a smaller BUC/Amplifier and/or antenna. Alternatively, DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier can be used to achieve very high spectral efficiencies E.g., DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier when used with 16-ARY modulation approaches the bandwidth efficiency of 256-ARY (8 bps/Hz).

When combined with VersaFEC-2 or VersaFEC and optimized transmit filter rolloff, it can provide unprecedented savings in transponder bandwidth and power utilization. This allows for its successful deployment in bandwidth-limited and power-limited scenarios, as well as reduction in earth station BUC/HPA power requirements.
