SDM-309B Satellite Modem
External Channel Unit
MN/U-SDM309B Rev. #
C-C–25
3.2 Monitor
The “MONITOR” level is accessible from the ‘sELECT” menu. The following modem
parameters are displayed in real time when selected.
Raw_BER
Raw bit error rate.
* Range: <1.0E-4 to 2550E-4
Corr_BER
Corrected bit error rate.
* Range: <1.0E-8 to>1E-3
Eb/N0
Energy(bit)/noise ratio.
* Range: <3.2dB to>9.7dB
RxSignal
Receive signal level.
* Range: <-60dBm to>-30dBm
* When the decoder loses lock no data is available and is so indicated.
3.3 Faults
Faults are grouped into the categories of modulator faults, demodulator faults, and
common equipment faults. The “FAULTS” level is accessible from the ‘sELECT” menu.
The following lists outline the faults monitored and displayed in each group.
Mod_Flts - Modulator Faults
RF_Syn
Modulator RF synthesizer fault.
Data_Clk
Transmit data clock activity fault.
TClk_Syn
Transmit clock synthesizer fault.
I-Channl
I channel activity fault.
Q-Channl
Q channel activity fault.
AGC_level
Automatic gain control level fault.
Module
Modulator module fault. Typically indicates that the
modulator module is missing or will not program.
Dmd_Flts - Demodulator/Decoder Faults
C_Detect
Carrier detect fault. Indicates that the decoder is not locked.
RF_Syn
Demodulator RF synthesizer fault.
Data_Clk
Receive data clock activity fault.
I-Channl
I channel activity fault.
Q-Channl
Q channel activity fault.
Dscrambl
Descrambler activity fault.
BER Thrshld
BER Threshold fault. Indicates that the corrected BER
Threshold that is set in the “Utility” menu has been
exceeded.
Module
Demodulator/decoder module fault. Typically indicates that
the demod/decoder module is missing or will not program.
CEQ_Flts - Common Equipment Faults
Battery
Battery fault.
-12 volt
Negative 12 volt power supply fault.
+12 volt
Plus 12 volt power supply fault.
+5 volt
Plus 5 volt power supply fault.
Controlr
Controller fault. Typically indicates that the controller has
gone through a power on-off cycle.
Intrface
Interface module fault. Typically indicates that the interface
module is missing or will not program.
