C-2
Accommodates data-transmission rates from 0 to 20 kpbs/50 ft. Employs unbalanced signaling,
and is usually used with a 25-pin D-shaped connector.
EIA-485 -
(Formerly RS-485) Recommended Standard Number 485 as defined by the Electronics
Industry Association (EIA); a standard that defines a way to move data over a communication link
which allows up to 64 devices to be connected to the same bus so that each equipment has a bus
address. Allows long distance runs at high speeds. Usually used where one central computer
controls many different devices. Employs tri-state balanced interface, similar to EIA-422. The
connector is not defined.
EIRP -
Effective Isotropic Radiated Power; a measure of effective radiated power
ESD –
Electrostatic discharge
Ethernet
, a networking technology developed in the early 1970s that is governed by the IEEE 802.3
specifications. It is one of the most popular types of networking technologies.
FEC -
Forward Error Correction; a coding technique that reduces the required signal-to-noise ratio
(and thus the required satellite EIRP) for a specified error BER performance at the cost of increased
bandwidth.
FEC Code Rate -
the ratio of source data bits to total bits in an encoded version of a source message
GHz -
Gigahertz, one billion cycles per second; a measure of frequency or bandwidth
Hz -
Hertz; cycles per second
I&Q –
In-phase and Quadrature. Analog signal output of DSP converter
I/O -
input/output
IF -
Intermediate Frequency
IFL -
Inter-facility link
kbps -
kilo (thousand) bits per second
kHz -
kilo Hertz; kilocycles per second
L-Band -
the 500 MHz block of frequencies from 950 MHz to 1450 MHz; also used to describe in
general the range of frequencies between approximately 900 MHz to approximately 3000 MHz; the L-
Band frequencies are used by some commercial satellites.
LCD –
liquid crystal display
LED –
light-emitting diode
M&C -
Monitor & Control
MB -
Mega (million) bytes
Mbps -
megabits per second
MHz -
Mega Hertz; one million cycles per second; a measure of frequency or bandwidth
modulator –
The equipment or circuit that applies the intelligence (analog audio, digital data) to a
carrier frequency for transmission. There are several different methods (modes) of modulating a
carrier signal including AM, SSB, FM, FSK, PSK, QPSK, and 8PSK.
MPEG
- Moving Picture Experts Group. A standard method of transmitting digital video and audio in
a compressed format using less bandwidth than the traditional analog method.
MPEG-2
– Second generation of MPEG. Better resolution, scalability and handling of interlaced
video. Improved picture (studio quality and up to HDTV levels) and allows multiple channels at
various bit rates to be multiplexed into a single data stream. Can transmit multiple programs in the
same space as a single analog transmission. Officially adopted by ISO and has the catalog number
ISO 13818-1.
M2P
– MPEG-2 Program Stream.
