Newtec M6100 Broadcast Satellite Modulator

05/10/2012
The Newtec M6100 Broadcast Satellite Modulator is the new generation DVB-S2, DVB-DSNG and DVB-S modulator specifically designed for broadcast direct-to-home, primary distribution to headends and contribution of television and radio content.

Newtec’s M6100 Next Generation Broadcast Satellite Modulator is not just a modulator. It’s a platform that takes a vital role in your networks, performs the best on the market and helps you evolve your business through ongoing market and technology innovations. The M6100 can be used in conjunction with set-top boxes, professional IRD’s or professional satellite demodulators such as the AZ910.


Delivering the highest uptime for vital links
Uptime and reliability are essential in the design of the modulator, taking a vital role in the satellite network. Input source redundancy, and the shortest redundancy switch-over times of modulators, operating both in 1+1 and N+1 topologies, are setting the standard in our industry.

Advanced capabilities such as a built-in MPEG Transport Stream analyser, support of SMPTE 2022 FEC at the GbE inputs (for distributed IP headends), and native support of Carrier ID insertion in the NIT table of the Transport Stream further increase uptime and QoS.


Get the best performance and lower your costs
The Broadcast Satellite Modulator performs among the best, offering unmatched bandwidth efficiency optimization options, thereby lowering
overall Total Cost of Ownership. The fully automated operation of Newtec´s field-proven Equalink® pre-distortion technology is now available for any satellite transmission application. Equalink pre-distortion provides up to 10% bandwidth gains.

The modulator also supports Clean Channel TechnologyTM, the first in a series extensions to DVB-S2, further improving satellite efficiency by up to 15%, enabling much smaller carrier spacing.

At the output of the Broadcast Satellite Modulator, the signal is available in IF or extended L-band (950 MHz-2150 MHz), providing a compact and cost-effective solution. A switchable 10 MHz reference signal for an outdoor BUC is multiplexed on the L-band interface.

The Broadcast Satellite Modulator can be easily monitored and controlled via a comprehensive front panel menu, advanced web GUI as well as via SNMP protocol. This enables easy integration into any industry-standard EMS/NMS system.

Evolve towards tomorrow’s technology
Built upon flexible and latest generation programmable technology, the Broadcast Satellite Modulator is a future-proof building block that lets any satellite network evolve to the next level of capabilities. A scalable, pay-as-you-grow, licensing and software upgrade mechanism facilitates the launch of new services, or last minute network design changes, without rebuilding the entire network infrastructure. Migration from ASI to GbE and IF to L-band are established using simple in-field installation of license keys.

Additional capabilities such as DVB-S2 extensions, RF Carrier ID and other are anticipated to become available on the platform as
the standardization efforts materialise in the near future.

Radyne DMD2050 MIL-STD-188-165A Compliant Universal Satellite Modem

04/03/2012
Comtech EF Data’s Radyne DMD2050 Satellite Modem is designed to comply with the widest possible range of U.S. Government and commercial standards, and is compatible with the largest number of satellite modems in the industry.

The DMD2050 is fully compliant with MIL-STD-188-165A (all terminal types) and the IESS-308, IESS-309, IESS-310 IESS–315 & DVB-S commercial standards.

The DMD2050 provides highly advanced and bandwidth-efficient forward error correction (FEC). Advanced FEC options include Turbo Product Codes (TPCs) and Low Density Parity Check (LDPC). Legacy support for Viterbi, Trellis, Concatenated Viterbi Reed-Solomon, and Sequential FEC are also included. A complete range of modulation types is supported, including BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, 8-PSK, 8-QAM, and 16-QAM.

Advanced FEC and modulation capabilities are integrated with the revolutionary DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier® bandwidth compression allowing for maximum state-of-the-art performance under all conditions. This combination of advanced technologies enables multi-dimensional optimization, allowing satellite communications users to:

  • Minimize required satellite bandwidth
  • Maximize throughput without using additional transponder resources
  • Maximize availability (margin) without using additional transponder resources
  • Enable use of a smaller BUC/HPA and/or antenna
  • Or, a combination of the above to meet specific mission needs

Data rates range from 2.4 kbps to 52 Mbps and symbol rates range from 4.8 ksps to 30 Msps. The modem provides a standard
MIL-STD-188-114 (EIA-530 / RS-422) serial interface. It can optionally be configured with EIA-613 (HSSI), G.703 (T1/E1/T2/E2 & T3/E3), DVB ASI/SPI and 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet interfaces. Drop & insert functionality is supported on the G.703 interface. A dual IF interface supports low IF (52-88, 104-176 MHz), and L-Band (950-2000 MHz) frequency ranges. Cost-effective, ultra-high reliable systems are enabled in conjunction with the RCS-11 1:1 redundancy switch, and/or the RCS-20 M:N redundancy switch.

Compatibility

The DMD2050 is interoperable with the DMD20, DMD50, DMD15/15L SLM-5650/5650A, SLM-8650, SLM-7650, SLM-3650/3650A, SDM-300/300A, CLM-9600, CDM-625, CDM-600/600L, CDM-570/570L, CDM-700, CDM-Qx, and OM 73 satellite modems.

The DMD2050 is compatible with competing modems that are compliant with MIL-STD-188-165A and/or open network IESS-308/-309-310.

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.

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 efficiency, DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier utilizing advanced signal processing techniques provides a new dimension in bandwidth and power 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.
