Description
The Enhanced Bandwidth Efficient Modem (EBEM) is a high-performance multi-input/multi-output SCPC satellite modulator/demodulator that converts multiple baseband digital input signals into multiple waveform intermediate frequencies (IF) and vice-versa.The EBEM provides extensive backwards compatibility with fielded modem and crypto technology, while adding high-order terminal modulation and Turbo coding to further enhance bandwidth efficiency.
Other Algorithms
EC Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 128 or 256 bits of encryption strength)
