Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
Equipped with an IP router, these demodulators are applicable to closed network applications.
• CDD-564A is a quad (4-channel) 70/140 MHz IF satellite demodulator
• CDD-564AL is a quad (4-channel) L-Band satellite demodulator
• CDD-562AL is a dual (2-channel) L -B and satellite demodulator
Figure 1-1. CDD-564A 70/140 MHz IF Satellite Quad Demodulator
Both frequency versions serve as replacements for the CDD-564L/CDD-562L (L-Band) or CDD564(70/140 MHz) Satellite Demodulators. They are 100% backwards compatible with their predecessors,
but incorporate new features and exp ansion capabilities.
Unless otherwise specified, these pr oducts are referred to collectively throughout this manual as the
CDD-56xA/L.

CDD-562AL/564A/L Multi-Channel Dem odulator Revision 0
Introduction MN-CDD562AL/564AL
1.1.1 CDD-56xA/L Features
The CDD-56xA/L has many standard and optional features:
• Fast acquisition demodulator
• The CDD-564A:
o Provides a 70/140 MHz IF frequency range from 50 to 90 MHz and 100 to 180 MHz.
• The CDD-564AL:
o Provides an L-Band IF frequency range from 950 to 2250 MHz.
o Supports external Low-Noise Block Down Converters (LNBs).
o Consumes only 55 Watts (without LNB).
• The CDD-564A/L is equipped for 10/100 BaseT Ethernet operation with a number of key
features for Wide Area Network (WAN) bandwidth optimization: very low overhead High-Level
Data Link Control (HDLC) encapsulation, Header and Payload Decompression.
• The CDD-564A/L offers variable data rates from 16 kbps to 10.239 Mbps, in BPSK, QPSK, 8-
PSK, 8-QAM, and 16-QAM modes.
• The CDD-564A/L provides, as Forward Error Correction (FEC) options: Turbo Product Coding
(TPC, IESS-315 compliant), ULL (Ultra Low Latency), and VersaFEC® (a short-block, low
latency Low-density Parity Check Coding (LDPC)).
• The CDD-564A/L is compact – it is 1RU high, with a depth of 17.25 inches
• The CDD-564A/L has an integrated 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface for network-based remote
product M&C – including SNMP, HTTP (non-secure Web server), and Telnet.
1.2 Functional Descript ion
The demodulator has three interface types: IF Ethernet (data), Traffic Ethernet (data) and M&C 100
(Dedicated Management Port).
• The IF interface provides independent unidirectional links (Rx only) with the satellite via the
downlink equipment.
• The Traffic Ethernet interface is a bidirectional path, which connects with the customer’s
equipment through an Ethernet Switch. The Ethernet interface is a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port
where data flow is the combined output of the demodulator channels. Control and status
information also uses this port, if the Dedicated Management Port is disabled.
• The M&C Ethernet interface is a 10/100 Ethernet Port. It is used only for managing the modem
over Web/SNMP/Telnet when Dedicated Management Port operation is enab led. The modem can
be managed only through this M&C Ethernet port when Dedicated Management Port operation is
enabled. In Dedicated Management Port mode, the Traffic 100 port aggregates the data from all
demodulators, and the unit is not accessible for M&C, except through the M&C 100 port.
The10/100 Ethernet M&C port is inactive when Dedicated Management Port operation is
disabled.
In both L-Band and 70/140 MHz operation, receive signals are first converted to a UHF frequency for
SAW filtering. Then, they are down converted to a lower IF frequency for direct sampling in a high speed

CDD-562AL/564A/L Multi-Channel Dem odulator Revision 0
Introduction MN-CDD562AL/564AL
A/D converter. An AGC circuit contro ls the signal level presented to the A/D conver ter. Digital signal
processing does the final quadrature conversion to baseband, followed by Nyquist filtering, carrier
recovery and symbol timing recovery. The resulting demodulated signal is fed, in soft decision form, to
the selected FEC decoder. The FEC decoder can be TPC or VersaFEC.
After decoding, the recovered clock and data pass to the IP Module. In the IP Module, traffic is examined
and processed for four channels before it is delivered to the Ethernet port.
The demodulator’s signal processing functions occur in two, large Field-Programmable Gate Arrays
(FPGA). This permits rapid implementation of changes, additions and enhancements in the field. These
signal-processing functions are controlled and monitored by a 32-bit RISC microprocessor, which also
controls serial and Ethernet interfaces.
As shown in the block diagrams in Figure 1-3, the demodulator is comprised of a single printed circuit
board assembly with integral FEC and IP router.
