what is this Occupied Bandwidth in iBuilder? Is this the real bandwidth that it is going to occupied in the satellite bandwidth ?

How do we calculate the bandwidth when using the spread spectrum?

Occupied BW is the actual MHz you are occupying on the Xponder.  If you change your symbol, info or transmission rate you can change that value in iBuilder. You can also change it if you change your modulation scheme.

Hi Mike,

thanks for the info.

Do you have the calculation sheet or formula for the info rate, tx rate, FEC, modulation, Spread Spectrum factors?
So with these factors input, i can calculate out the bandwidth required.

Do you have access to iDirects iNPT 8?  It is on the TAC website.

When using SS, an SF of 1 (or SF=1 which increases the unique word size which helps your remote stay locked) will give you no spreading and your occupied bandwidth will not change.  Once you change go SF=2 your occ bw will be doubled and SF=4 will quadruple your occ bw.  So a 256k data rate, 1.2 spacing, 1/2 BPSK, SF=4 will run you near 2.5MHz of occ bw.

Hi,

that is the problem with spread spectrum...a lot of bandwidth is needed.

By the way can iDirect implement this 1/2 BPSK?

On the upstream it supports BPSK / .431 FEC and the downstream supports BPSK .431 or .49 FEC.  Spreading is only available with BPSK modulation.

If you are in the market to do spread spectrum then you more than likely have enough money to support the MHz required (if not you probably should be doing it to start with).

The main reason to use spread is to minimize PSD with the smaller apertures commonly found on moving platforms.
