As part of an investigation into the causes for random, unexplained data “dropouts” on a Defense Satellite Communication link between the Air Force Satellite Control Facility, Sunnyvale, California and the Indian Ocean Remote Tracking Station, a number of tests were conducted to characterize the performance parameters of the wideband modems used on the link. These tests were used to measure the loop parameters of the modem Carrier and Timing Recovery Loops and to determine the modem sensitivity to RF phase disturbances, data rate variations and various repetitive bit patterns. This paper describes the test techniques used and the results obtained.Sponsors
