1.1 Overview
The CDM-710G High-Speed Satellite Modem (Figure 1-1) provides transmission of data using the same powerful DVB-S2 techniques developed for video delivery in Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) applications. It operates over satellite links with programmable symbol / data rates up to 45 Msps. The CDM-710G is intended for transmission of non-MPEG2 data. Its companion product, the CDM-710, supports MPEG2 formats with various data interfaces.
Figure 1-1. CDM-710G High-Speed Satellite Modem (L-Band version shown)
Various modulations and coding combinations compliant with DVB-S2 are provided. The modulation types supported include DVB-S2 QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK and 32APSK.

Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION

Note: DVB-S and DVB-DSNG are not supported. Constant Coding and Modulation (CCM) operation with a single input stream is provided for
operation. The unit is available in modulator only, demodulator only, and modem configurations. The operating frequency of the CDM-710G is available in the following versions:
CDM-710G (70/140 MHz) CDM-710GL (L-Band)
The terrestrial data interfaces, as depicted in the block diagram shown in Figure 1-2, are field removable to allow different interface types:
CDI-10-1 Single G.703 E3/T3/STS1 Interface
CDI-60 HSSI Interface
CDI-70 1000 Base-T Ethernet (GigE) Interface
The CDM-710G is compact, being 1RU high x 18.65 inches deep, with low power consumption. It has a front panel Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and keypad for local configuration and

control, although it can be fully remote-controlled via its RS-485 bus or 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Interface.
1.1.1 Standard and Optional Features
The CDM-710G operates in DVB-S2 (QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK, and 32APSK) mode only. The CDM-710G is operated from the front panel using the keypad and display or remote controlled via an RS-232 / RS-485 2/4 Wire bus or 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port located on the base unit.
The CDM-710G is available for either 70/140 MHz or L-Band applications. The standard 70/140 MHz Tx-IF port has a BNC female con nector that is programmable for either with 50Ω or 75Ω impedance operations. Spectral rolloffs of 20, 25, and 35% are available.
1.1.2 Applications
The CDM-710G’s bandwidth and power-efficient operation is ideal for:
Transmission of non-transport stream data (referred to as Generic Data in DVB-S2)
Business enterprise data distribution
Broadband Interactive and Internet services
Any networking application relying on
o Point-to-point transmission o Point-to-multipoint transmission o Arbitrary topology
With a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) data interface and either a 70/140 MHz (CDM-710G) or L-Band (CDM-710GL) IF, the CDM-710G is equipped with the by users. This is ideal for data transmission formats that take advantage of the Ethernet packets for digital one-way, two-way and any network applications. The HSSI interface enables IP or other data formats via a serial interface, and telecom applications are supported with the G.703 interface.
DVB-S2 offers new opportunities for data transmission applications. With a broad range of modulation and coding formats, it permits the user to
tailor a link for the available bandwidth and power to optimize link performance. Whether a link is point-to-point or point-to-multipoint, there is a format available to suit each application.

1.2 Functional Description
A block diagram of the CDM-710G is shown in Figure 1-2.
CDM-710G
Figure 1-2. CDM-710G Block Diagram
The CDM-710G is constructed as a 1RU-high rack-mounting chassis, which can be freestanding if desired. Rack handles at the front facilitate removal from and placement into a rack.
The CDM-710G performs several key functions:
It accepts incoming data from the terrestrial interface and converts it into appropriate clock and data signals.
The modulator operates on the data to frame and encode it for transmission.
Encoded information is mapped for modulation.
A modulated carrier is transmitted from the IF interface for use by uplink equipment for
delivery to the satellite.
A carrier received from the satellite link is acquired and demodulated to recover symbols and timing.
Error correction and deframing are performed.
User data is delivered to the to the data interface.

CDM-710G High-Speed Satellite Modem Revision 1 Introduction MN-CDM710G
Transmit (Tx) data is delivered to the data interface where it is converted to clock and data signals for further processing. Depending upon the type of interface, clock and data are provided or in other cases the clock is embedded in the data and clock recovery is performed to generate clock and data signals.
A First-In–First-Out (FIFO) follows the terrestrial interface to facilitate delivery of the data to the framing card. Data is passed to the Forward Error Correction (FEC) Encoder where the data is framed and encoded in accordance with only DVB-S2 formats.
After encoding, the data is passed to the modulator where the I and Q signals are mapped to generate the appropriate constellation (QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK, and 32APSK) and filtered to provide the desired spectral rolloff.
Finally, a carrier is generated by a frequency synthesizer in conjunction with the I and Q signals to produce a frequency range, as follows:
CDM-710G (70/140 MHz)
CDM-710GL (L-Band)
52 to 88 MHz and 104 to 176 MHz IF output signal at the connector on the CDM-710G.
950 to 1950 MHz output signal at the Frequency connector on the CDM-710GL.
An Rx carrier from the satellite is received by the demodulator and reverses the process performed by the modulator. The demodulator has an FEC decoder that corrects errors incurred during transmission to improve the integrity of the data delivered to the data interface. A synthesizer in the demodulator is programmed to select the desired carrier from the transponder.
Physically, the CDM-710G is comprised of several main card assemblies:
The Data Interface card is a plug-in module that is readily installed or removed at the rear of the unit.
Note: Power must be turned off to remove or install the data interfaces. Any attempt to remove or install a data face without first turning off the power to the unit will result in damage to the data interface.
The Framer Card receives signals from the data interface card and routes signals to the FEC Encoder and Modulator. The microcontroller for the unit also resides on the Framer Card and is the embedded controller for the entire unit. The microcontrollers handles all of the monitor and control for unit including the front panel keypad and display, the RS­232 and RS-485 2Wire / 4Wire remote port and the 10/100 Ethernet port. Interface with the other the modules in the CDM-710G is provided by the framer assembly.
The FEC Encoder and Decoder cards are plug-in modules that reside on the Framer card. They generate the encoded streams used by the modulator card.
Depending on the ordered configuration, a modulator and/or demodulator card may be installed.
