than 1=A. Whichever law is used, the prime objective <strong>of</strong> comp<strong>and</strong>ing rules isto guarantee a quantization ratio proportional to the size <strong>of</strong> the original signal.The most important noise affecting codec design is the idle channelnoise, which exists even when there is no signal traffic. This idle channel noiseoccurs due to the quantization <strong>of</strong> a 0-V input analog signal as the digital outputbounces around the assigned binary value for zero along with any nonlinearityexisting along the transmission line.3.3.3 SummaryModems can be segmented according to their usage by the modulationschemes utilized:Frequency division multiplexing (FDM) for traffic <strong>and</strong> videoSingle channel per carrier (SCPC) for voice channels’ low-level carrierTime division multiplexing=time division multiple access (TDM=TDMA) for data transmission over satellite links <strong>and</strong> to data usersSpread spectrum modems, particularly by military satellite communicationsThe configuration <strong>and</strong> modulation=demodulation scheme deployed <strong>and</strong> theirperformance characteristics separate one modem from another. Intersymbolinterference introduced by channel filtering can be removed to a large part byzero forcing <strong>and</strong> mimimum mean-square error techniques. Carrier acquisition<strong>and</strong> symbol synchronization or timing extraction are critical to the operation <strong>of</strong>high-performance modems. With the gradual change to digital transmission,codecs, will become a common feature.3.4 EARTH STATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONSEarth stations form an important part <strong>of</strong> the overall satellite system. In general,when designing an earth station, the following must be considered, includingimplementation restrictions:1. System parameters such asTransmitter EIRP.Receiver figure <strong>of</strong> merit (G=T)—quality <strong>of</strong> received signal.System noise <strong>and</strong> other interference including site location, ensuringthat the total interference level does not exceed theacceptable level. Interference to, from, <strong>and</strong> between satelliteCopyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
