(1) Satellite operators must be consulted to determine the actual carrier spacing. (2) Spectral efficiency includes 1.2*Fsym carrier spacing, FEC, Physical layer frame overhead including Pilots and PLHEADER symbols and Baseband frame overhead including BBHEADER and CRC-32. The CRC-32 field at the end of the Baseband frame is used to check residual bit errors out of the LDPC/BCH decoder. (3) QEF (Quasi Error Free) operation is defined as no BBHEADER CRC-8 errors with BER better than 1e-8 for an IF-loopback (L-band). C/N is the ratio of signal power spectral density to noise power spectral density at the modem input. (4) Eb/No = C/N - 10log10(Kb/Ns), where Kb is the number of Payload bits per Baseband Frame and Ns is the number of transmitted symbols per Physical layer Frame. IP and other network layer packets are transported on the Baseband Frame using the highly efficient DVB-S2 Generic Stream Encapsulation (GSE) protocol. The parameter Kb does not include the moderate GSE overhead (roughly 1 to 2%).

(1) License is required for operating more than one TDMA channel in eM0DM and XLC-M (max of 8 channels). In multi channel mode maximum symbol rate supported per channel is 5.875 Msps and maximum composite symbol rate processed is 7.5 Msps. All channels should have homogeneous MODCODs and symbol rates. In single channel TDMA mode maximum symbol (chip) rate remains at 7.5 Msps (Mcps). (2) Satellite operators must be consulted to determine the actual carrier spacing. The carrier spacing is 1.2*Chip rate for spread carriers where the Chip Rate is determined as SF*Symbol Rate. (3) The 2D-16-S FEC type indicates the payload length in bytes followed by FEC rate. For example, 2D-16-S-100B-1/2 indicates a payload length of 100 bytes with FEC rate at 0.50. For TPC FEC types, the coded bit length is indicated in kilobits followed by the FEC rate. For example, TPC-1K-0.66 indicates a coded block size of 1K (1024) bits with FEC rate at 0.66. Note that the 2D-16-S FEC option is available on the upstream only with DVB-S2 downstream. (4) Spectral Efficiency includes 1.2*Fsym carrier spacing, FEC and Physical layer overhead to aid burst detection and synchronization. (5) Modem C/N performance threshold for QEF operation of the TDMA channel is specified for a Cell Loss Rate (CLR) of 1e-5 at L-Band. C/N is the ratio of signal power spectral density to noise power spectral density at the modem input. (6) Eb/No=C/N-10log10(m *r /SF ), where m is the modulation order (BPSK: 1, QPSK: 2, 8PSK: 3), r is the FEC ratio and SF is the spreading factor. (7) Minimum symbol rate supported for 8PSK TPC-1K-0.66 and 8PSK 2D-16-S-100B-2/3 is 128 ksps. Minimum symbol rate supported for 8PSK 2D-16-S-170B-4/5 is 256 ksps. Minimum symbol rate supported for 8PSK TPC-4K-0.793 is 768 ksps.
