CDM-570A/570AL Satellite Modem with Optional Packet Processor
MN-CDM570A
Introduction
Revision 2
1–15
Parameter
Specification
Scrambling
•
Transparent, Closed Network mode, no R-S or Turbo coding - per ITU V.35 (Intelsat variant)
•
EDMAC mode, no R-S coding - externally frame synchronized - proprietary
•
Turbo Product Code mode - externally frame synchronized - proprietary
•
All R-S modes - externally frame synchronized per IESS-308/309/310
Clocking Options
•
Internal – CDM-570AL or CDMR-570AL (L-Band)±0.06 ppm (SCT);
CDM-570A (70/140 MHz) ±1.0 ppm (SCT)
•
External – Locking over a ±100 ppm range (TT)
•
Loop timing (Rx satellite clock) – Supports asymmetric operation; Rx and Tx data rates do not need to be
identical
External TX Carrier Off
By TTL 'low' signal or external contact closure – hardware function automatically over-rides processor, or by
RTS signal on main data interface
