Abstract
A new modem for Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) satellite communications is presented. The modem utilizes a number of unique implementation approaches that result in exceptional performance and flexibility with low cost and power consumption. Very close channel spacings allowed by the modem result in greater bandwidth efficiency, and integral forward error correction (FEC) coding provides low bit error rates (BER) even in systems limited in satellite power.
