Module description
The Enhanced Bandwidth Efficient Modem (EBEM), MD-1366/U is a high-performance multi-input multi-output single channel per carrier (SCPC) satellite modem that converts multiple baseband digital input signals into multiple waveform intermediate frequencies (IF) and viceversa. The EBEM is intended for use with Government and commercial satellite systems.
