4. Modem Resource Optimization Contribution
4
IP to RF Air Interface Optimization
Paired Carrier™ : Up to 50% bandwidth saving (Hub Canceller or Embedded PtP)
DVB‐S2: Up to 15% bandwidth saving
FastLink™ Optimize BER vs Latency in a wide range of modulations
5% Optimized Roll‐off: >10% bandwidth saving compared with 20% roll off
Compression: Up to 50% bandwidth saving
Multilayer Compression : 20% bandwidth savings; Cellular Telephony; MPLS; VLAN
ACM: Up to 50% bandwidth saving
XStream IPTM Advanced IP routing set (IPv4‐6; St/Dynamic); ACM sync‐Dynamic
Traffic Shaping/QoS prioritizes traffic based on Difserv /802.1P

5. Q-Flex is Future Proof too…every single dB counts
5
• DVBS2 Extensions ready
• Adds 5%, 10% & 15% roll‐off (Done)
• Gains up to 15% bandwidth efficiency
• Extends number of modcods from 28
to nearer 100 (Supported)
• Gains up to 10% bandwidth efficiency
• Adds 64APSK (64 QAM now)
• Gains 20% bandwidth efficiency
• Teledyne working on more features
beyond limits
• More bandwidth and throughput
efficiency now

6. Integral Resource Optimization Approach
6
• Interference can significantly degrade
efficiency
• Offenders may be satellite or terrestrial
interference
• Satellite: self‐pol‐overlapping‐adj sat‐
jammers
• Terrestial: Wi‐MAX‐Radar‐EW Jammers
• Intermittent
• Teledyne developed LinkGuard™
Interference under‐carrier detection built
in the modem
• Built in Test equipment
– BERT, Constellation & DSA
• Interference Mitigation
– Teledyne YIG filters/DSA‐Network level

8. The GAN vs GaAS Advantage
8
Higher power density operation meaning less
components
Higher MTBFs.
Higher thermal conductivity leads to higher
reliability and higher temperature operation.
Higher efficiency and wider bandwidth
operation as compared to GaAs MESFETs; 0.5
dB gain in Ext Ku and up to 1 dB Ka wide
bands.
Better Intermod Performance 1‐2 dB
Softer Compression; no P1dB

9. Teledyne Linearized GaN Implementation
9
This is opposite gain and phase
characteristic from the amplifier
cascade
Input Power vs. Output Power
Showing effect of gain expansion
Gain expands with increasing power
Phase compresses with increasing power
The Teledyne Claim to Fame
100% GaN implementation (> 0.5 watts) so
it takes 100% Advantage of the technology
The Most available Clean Power
Pavailable = Psat‐BO (1.5 to 2.5 dB better)
Vs
Pavailable= P1dB‐BO
Superb RELIABILITY; 3 Years Warranty

10. GaN PowerMAX “Innovation in Modularity”
10
• A new standard in ultra‐high power solid state
power amplifiers taking GaN to the next stage
• Available in S, C, X, Ku and Ka‐band
configurations
• Modular Phase Combined System (4, 8, 16
Modules )‐No need to return to factory
• EASY TO OPERATE All Active components are
Hot swappable power supply; SSPA modules;
Fans; M&C cards
• Power Meter accuracy Monitoring; TRUE RMS
• Redundant Power Supply and M&C system. No
Single point of failure
