Radio Features
The CM7/8 100Base-T radio delivers as much as 101.5 dB of system gain (at 10-3 BER).
A fundamental feature of the CM radio is that the configuration, capacity and protection
scheme, can be upgraded in the field.
Protection schemes include non-protected, redundancy protection, and diversity
protection. Service channels can also be configured for protection. This makes the radio
capacities well-suited for a wide range of communication applications. Figure 1-2
illustrates protection switching through the radio.
Other radio features of the design include:
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
(128-QAM)
modulation scheme that improves spectral perfor-
mance, and meets CTIA requirements for spectral
efficiency.
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
provides error correction for traffic channels and
service channels.
Errorless Space Diversity Switch
hitless receiver switching; may be used as part of a
protection configuration.
Reverse Channel Switching
protects against silent transmitter failures.
Dispersive Fade Margin
radio system is engineered to recover from signal
dispersion.
Adaptive Power Control (APC)
regulates transmitter power output; uses only ade-
quate power for normal operation and increases
output power during a severe fade.
APC also extends the life of the transmitter power
amplifier by reducing power during normal opera-
tion.
