Modulator
Refer to Figure 4-15.
UTILITY
Displays single code/data rate modems only.
If CR/DR is blank, [ENTER] CR: ____ code and data rate one time.
If CR/DR is displayed, DR: _____ KB, then fixed code/data rate is
shown.
ASSIGN TRANSMIT
FILTERS
Transmit filter display/assignment utility. Used to make filter rate
re-assignments. The modulator has five symbol rate filter presets
designated as A, B, C, D, and V.
Code Rate
Data Rate Range
BPSK 1/2
2.4 to 1250 kbit/s
QPSK 1/2
4.8 to 2500 kbit/s
QPSK 3/4
7.2 to 3750 kbit/s
QPSK 7/8
8.4 to 4375 kbit/s
Notes:
1. Maximum Symbol Rate: 2500 kbit/s
2. Maximum Data Rate for Low Var. Rate: 512 kbit/s
3. Switching between modem type resets the filter presets to
their factory defined values. Refer to Figure 4-15 for other
code rates assigned to the modem.
To change a preset assignment, press [ENTER] when the data for
that preset is displayed. Press [
"] or [#] until the flashing cursor is
at the parameter to be changed, then [
$] or [%] to change that
parameter. After all changes have been made, press [ENTER] to
confirm the assignment. If a preset data/code rate is changed and the
modem is currently using that preset, the modem will be
reprogrammed to the new data/code rate.
