Introduction

SDM-9000 Satellite Modem

1–2

Rev. 4

1.1 Overview

The modem is a high performance, full-duplex, digital-vector modulator/demodulator
that meets the open network requirements of the IESS-308 specifications for
Intermediate Data Rate (IDR). The modem can also be used for any closed network and
satellite communication system applications. Refer to Section 1.1.3 for additional
applications data.

Module types that are compatible with each application are as follows:

Notes:

1. 75

, QPSK, and +5 dBm output are standard with the SDM-9000.

2. The standard Reed-Solomon is in accordance with IESS-308 (IDR).

The modem operates with IF converter equipment operating within a 50 to 180 MHz
band. An internal channel unit, conforming to the IESS-308 specification, provides
overhead designated for Engineering Service Circuits (ESC).

The modem contains:

Built-in scramblers/descramblers

Differential encoder/decoder

Transmit and receive frequency synthesizers

Multi–rate Forward Error Correction (FEC) convolutional encoder and Viterbi
decoder
