the MetaCarrier under the detected carriers within a spectrum. The presence of a MetaCarrier
may be obtained as part of a standard operating procedure or during an interference condition.

About MetaCarrier
The MetaCarrier operates independent of the modulation, forward error rate, symbol rate, etc.
of the transmission carrier. In configurations where the carrier is encrypted or uses
cryptographic technologies, the CID contained in the MetaCarrier is not affected.
Traditionally, identification of an interfering carrier may involve using a geo-location system
that, in turn, uses the phase offset from an adjacent satellite to triangulate the approximate
location on the surface of the earth where the interference is being generated.
While these tools have been proven useful and invaluable to satellite operators and service
providers, the geo-location products’ methods are imprecise; for example, in densely populated
areas, a helicopter with a feed horn and spectrum analyzer must be used to find the exact
location of the transmission source. The time and costs associated with such methods are
significant.
By contrast, Comtech EF Data’s CID products provide the operator with the interference
source’s identification information within minutes. Once the offending carrier is identified,
appropriate action can be taken to shut down or otherwise remove the identified transmission
from service.
The MCED-100 MetaCarrier Embedding Device’s combined carrier (transmission carrier and
embedded MetaCarrier) creates a composite carrier that results in scalable identification system
that requires minimal power (typically less than 0.1 dB) from the transmission carrier.
