Doubletalk Carrier-In-Carrier
DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier is based on patented bandwidth compression technology originally developed by Applied Signal
Technology, Inc. Using “Adaptive Cancellation” it allows transmit and receive carriers of a two-way link to share the same transponder
space.
Figure 1 shows the typical full-duplex satellite link, where the two carriers are adjacent to each other.
Figure 2 shows the typical DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier operation, where the two carriers are overlapping, thus sharing the same
spectrum.
When observed on a spectrum analyzer, only the Composite is visible. Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 are shown in Figure 2 for reference only.
DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier is complementary to all advances in modem technology, including advanced FEC and modulation
techniques. As these technologies approach theoretical limits of power and bandwidth efficiencies, DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier utilizing
advanced signal processing techniques provides a new dimension in bandwidth efficiency.
DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier allows satellite users to achieve spectral efficiencies (i.e. bps/Hz) that cannot be achieved with traditional
links. For example, DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier when used with 16-QAM approaches the bandwidth efficiency of 256-QAM (8bps/Hz).
As DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier allows equivalent spectral efficiency using a lower order Modulation and/or FEC Code, it can
simultaneously reduce CAPEX by allowing a smaller BUC/HPA and/or antenna.
DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier can be used to save transponder bandwidth and/or transponder power thereby allowing successful
deployment in bandwidth-limited as well as power-limited scenarios. The following example illustrates the typical process for
implementing DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier in a power-limited scenario:
The conventional link is using 8PSK, TPC 3/4:
Spread the signal by switching to a lower order modulation and/or FEC
code – say QPSK, TPC 7/8. This increases the total transponder
bandwidth, while reducing the total transponder power:
Now using DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier, the second QPSK, TPC 7/8 carrier can be moved over the first carrier – thereby reducing the
total transponder bandwidth and total transponder power when compared to the original side-by-side 8PSK, TPC 3/4 carriers:
EDMAC & AUPC
The CDM-Qx/QxL support EDMAC, EDMAC-2, and AUPC. EDMAC/AUPC is compatible with CDM-600/600L and CDM-570/570L.
EDMAC-2/AUPC is compatible with CDM-570/570L.
Monitoring & Control
The CDM-Qx/QxL provide a range of options for local and remote management. The modem can be managed via the front panel, the
remote M&C port (EIA-232/EIA-485), or the 10/100Base-T Ethernet port. With support for SNMP, HTTP and Telnet, the modems can be
easily integrated into an IP-based management system.
