VIASAT PCMA - PAIRED CARRIER MULTIPLE ACCESS (BANDWIDTH OPTIMIZERS)

TYPICAL NETWORK BUDGET

S pace segment costs can dominate
E specially true for medium and high-capacity full-time circuits
Bandw idth and pow er efficiency are key
modem efficiency has improv ed...
"add-on" V iaS at P C M A technology can further boost current
sy stem performance and reduce operational costs ev en more
(25-50% nominally )

Three factors in determining total cost of ownership

SIGNAL CANCELLATION = BW SAVINGS
P atented V iaSat P C M A technology allows 2 differ ent satellite signals to oper ate on the same fr equency

REVIEWS

Bandw idth sav ings can be as much as 50% !!

A pplicable to any modulation / F E C technique

PCM A - HOW IT WORKS

O v erlapping uplink signal is subtracted to get desired dow nlink signal

HUB CANCELLER (ASYM M ETRIC PCM A)

G atew ay transmits U plink signal
G atew ay cancels its receiv ed signal
S ubscriber Terminal transmits a return link
G atew ay receiv es inbound return links from V S A Ts

OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Link r equir ements
F ull-duplex circuits only (sy mmetric or asy mmetric)
M ust be able to receiv e y our ow n uplink signal (doesnt w ork w ith cross-strap transponders)
Implementation consider ations
P ow er is slightly increased ov er standard frequency pair approach (0.15 to 0.5 dB depending on near/far ratio)
M ay need to change existing coding rates and modulation to take adv antage of bandw idth reduction
Link budget analy sis w ill determine link configuration and estimated ov erall sav ings of pow er and bandw idth w ith P C M A
N ew serv ices can be designed to maximize sav ings (e.g., optimal antenna size)
