Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The CDM-Qx/QxL Multi-Channel Satellite Modem with DoubleTalk™ Carrier-in-Carrier
®
is a
modular multi-channel modem with redundancy contained in a single rack unit (1RU) chassis.
The CDM-Qx/QxL offers flexibility, redundancy, integration, and performance with four slots
configurable as modulators or demodulators. The CDM-Qx operates on the 70/140 MHz IF
frequency, while the CDM-QxL (Figure 1-1) is the L-Band (950MHz – 1950MHz) version of the
same modem.
The CDM-Qx/QxL supports DoubleTalk™ Carrier-in-Carrier ® option, allowing transmit (Tx)
and receive (Rx) carriers in a full-duplex link to use the same transponder segment.
