Summary Of Specifications
MN/CDM550T.IOM
14.2 Demodulator
Data rate range, operating modes, de-scrambling, input impedance/return loss etc, as per Modulator
Input power range
-30 to -60 dBm (desired carrier)
+35 dBC maximum composite, up to -5 dBm
FEC
•
Viterbi: 3 bit soft decision
•
Sequential: 2 bit soft decision
•
Turbo Product Codec: 6 bit soft decision
Acquisition range
±1 to ±30 kHz, programmable in 1kHz increments
Acquisition time
Highly dependent on data rate, FEC rate, and demodulator acquisition range.
Examples:
¾ 250 ms average at 512 kbps, R1/2 QPSK, ± 30kHz acquisition sweep
range, 6dB Eb/No
¾ 5 s average at 16 kbps, R1/2 QPSK, ± 5kHz, 6dB Eb/No
¾ 21 s average at 8.2 kbps, R7/8 QPSK, ± 2kHz, 6dB Eb/No
Note that Rate 3/4 and Rate 7/8 FEC rates slow acquisition time considerably,
due to the additional time taken for the FEC decoder to declare synchronization.
Clock tracking range
± 100 ppm min
