CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem
MN-CDM625A
Introduction
Revision 3
1–17
LNB 10 MHz Reference
On center conductor of L-Band input connector, selectable ON/OFF. Level: -3dBm ± 3 dB.
Source: either Internal modem reference or External reference
Performance: For phase noise, refer to L-Band modulator 10 MHz. Frequency stability same as the modulator 10
MHz reference.
LNB Voltage
On center conductor of L-Band input connector, selectable ON/OFF, 13, 18 volts per DiSEq 4.2 and 24VDC at 500
mA maximum.
LNB Current Alarm
Programmable Min/Max current alarms.
Plesiochronous/
Doppler Buffer
Selectable size of 64 to 262,144 bits, in 16-bit steps (With added limitations for G.704 frame boundaries).
Size selection is displayed in bytes and milliseconds.
Supports asymmetric operation - when buffer is clocked from Tx clock, Rx and Tx rates do not need to be identical.
Monitor Functions
Eb/No estimate:
2 to 10 dB with ±0.3 dB accuracy
0 to 16 dB with ±0.5 dB accuracy
Corrected Bit Error Rate, 1E-3 to 1E-10
Frequency offset, ±32 kHz range, (or 200 kHz range, depending on band and symbol rate) 100 Hz resolution
Buffer fill state, in percent
Receive signal level: 950-2250 MHz band accuracy: ±3 dB
50-180 MHz band accuracy: ±2 dB
Receive signal level – ‘ER’ VERSION: 950-2250 MHz band accuracy: ±4 dB
50-180 MHz band accuracy: ±3 dB
BER Performance on CDMER-625A Version units may degrade 0.1 to 0.2 dB from the
specifications that follow, when operated under extreme conditions.
