1.1 Introduction

The SLM-5650 satisfies the requirements for applications that require state-of-the-art modulation
and coding techniques to optimize satellite transponder bandwidth usage while retaining
backward compatibility in government and military communications systems. The initial release
of the modem supports base-band data rates up to 51.840 Mbps, and its flexible modulation and
Forward Error Correction (FEC) capabilities ensure that the throughput and BER over the
satellite is optimized.
