BER Performance
(BER vs Eb/N0)
See BER performance tables
Notes: BER specified is for IF loop-back with added noise.
LNB 10 MHz Reference On center conductor of L-band input connector, selectable
ON/OFF. Level: -3 ± 3 dBm.
Source: 1. Internal High Stability Reference
2. REF EXT Supplied at 10 MHz
Performance: For phase noise, refer to L-Band Modulator 10
MHz. Frequency stability is the same as the modulator.
LNB Voltage On center conductor of L-band input connector, selectable
ON/OFF: 13 and 18 volts per DiSEq 4.2 and 24 VDC at 500
mA, maximum
LNB Current Programmable MIN and MAX current alarms
LNB Band Control 22kHz tone outbound from L-band connector per DiSEq 4.2.
Test Modes Pattern Monitor Detects the presence of 2047 data pattern in RX stream and
reports BER.
