WARNING! BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO COMMISSION A SATELLITE LINK USING CARRIER-IN-
CARRIER (CnC), YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE LINK IS ROBUST ENOUGH FOR NORMAL
OPERATION. ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THIS – AND YOU RESOLVE ALL SYSTEM ISSUES (E.G.,
ANTENNA-POINTING, CABLING, TERRESTRIAL INTERFERENCE, SATELLITE INTERFERENCE, ETC.) –
SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT THE USE OF CARRIER-IN-CARRIER.
J.1 Overview
Space segment costs are typically the most significant operating expense for any satellite-based
service, having a direct impact on the viability and profitability of the service. For a satellite
transponder that has finite resources in terms of bandwidth and power, the leasing costs are
determined by bandwidth and power used. Therefore, a satellite circuit should be designed for
optimal utilization to use a similar share of transponder bandwidth and power.
The traditional approach to balancing a satellite circuit – once the satellite and earth station
parameters are fixed – involves trade-off between modulation and coding. A lower order
modulation requires less transponder power while using more bandwidth; conversely, higher
order modulation reduces required bandwidth, albeit at a significant increase in power.
Comtech EF Data’s DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier option adds a new dimension to satellite
communication optimization.
J.1.1 What is DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier?
The CDM-760’s DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier (CnC) option uses a patented signal processing
algorithm developed by Raytheon Applied Signal Technology that allows both the forward and
reverse carriers of a full duplex link to share the same segment of transponder bandwidth, using
patented “Adaptive Cancellation.” Raytheon Applied Signal Technology uses the term
DoubleTalk, and Comtech EF Data refers to it as DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier (CnC)
