Theory of Operation (contd)

At start-up, the modem calculates the exact round-trip delay The modulator provides a copy of the time delayed transmitted signal to the demodulator The demodulator cancels the time delayed transmitted signal from the composite received signal
Nominal cancellation is 25 dB to 30 dB The residual interfering signal appears as noise
i.e. the Noise Floor is raised, slightly degrading the Eb/No

DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier Operational Rules for CDM-Qx

Full-duplex links only
CDM-Qx must be configured as a Modem

Loop-back satellite (i.e. the transmitting station must be able to receive itself) Non-processing satellite (i.e. does not demodulate/ remodulate the signal) Symbol rate asymmetry of the 2 carriers should be within 3:1 for optimal performance (Interfering carrier power desired carrier power), in dB, < 10 dB (except for 16QAM, R=7/8) Carrier offset within 32 kHz
i.e., Center frequencies of the desired and the interfering carriers are within 32 kHz

Spectral Efficiency and Power

DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier provides better spectral efficiency while using lower order modulation and FEC
Traditional 16-QAM, R=7/8 is spectrally equivalent to QPSK, R=7/8 (with CnC)
Lower order modulation provides the saving in transponder power and HPA power

Allows extreme spectral utilization that would not otherwise be possible

16-QAM, R=7/8 (with CnC) is spectrally equivalent to 256-QAM, R=7/8, i.e. 7 bps/Hz
A customer is currently testing/deploying 16-QAM, R=7/8 with CnC

16-QAM, R=3/4 (with CnC) allows one of our customers to deploy 58 T1s in a 36 MHz transponder

Myths/Misconceptions
Increases power so cannot be used if original link is power limited
Spreading converts a power limited link to a bandwidth limited link DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier can now be successfully applied
Not only saves transponder bandwidth/power but also HPA power

Increases IM
DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier has no direct relation to IM As spreading reduces the total power used by a pair of carriers, the impact on IM should be negligible

27

Myths/Misconceptions (contd)
Increases Latency
DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier has no measurable impact on latency at any data rate

Needs Satellite Operator Approval

DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier has been deployed and/or tested on all major satellite systems

Internal Redundancy For Modulator/Demodulator Card(s)

CDM-Qx can provide redundancy for modulator and/or demodulator card(s) within the chassis without requiring an external switch
1:1 Redundancy for Modulator & Demodulator card when configured as a Modem 1:1, 1:2 or 1:3 Redundancy when using Modulators Only or Demodulators Only

It ONLY protects against a failure in the modulator and/or demodulator card No protection against failures in Data Interface, M&C module or other common sub-systems in the chassis For critical links, use of external redundancy is strongly recommended
