1.3.8 DoubleTalk
®
Carrier-in-Carrier
®
(CnC)
Operating Mode
Requires the two carriers in a duplex circuit to share a common frequency. Different symbol rates are
allowed.
Symbol Rate Range
0.1Msps to 63 Msps
CnC Ratio
Ratio of Interferer Carrier Power to Desired Carrier Power (in dB). Positive values represent a stronger
Interferer Carrier, and negative values represent a stronger Desired Carrier. Range is +7 dB to -7 dB.
Symbol Rate Ratio
3:1 Tx/Rx or Rx/Tx
Inbound/Outbound frequency
uncertainty
±100kHz
Delay range
0 - 300 ms (230 - 290 ms factory default)
Es/No Degradation (dB)
measured at 0.0 dB CnC Ratio
QPSK, 0.3 dB
8-PSK, 0.3 dB
16-APSK, 0.4 dB
32-APSK, 0.6 dB
Monitor Functions
Delay, in milliseconds
Frequency offset (between outbound interferer and desired inbound): 100 Hz resolution
CnC ratio, in dB (ratio of absolute power, outbound interferer to desired inbound)
CnC Monitor Accuracy
± 1.0 dB for symmetric symbol rate
