MDM Q9604
High Data Rate (HDR) HF Data Modems

OVERVIEW

The MDM-Q9604 networking capability provides a multifunctional Data Services IP Gateway for legacy communications systems, including Serial Control over IP (SCoIP), Voice over IP (VoIP), and synchronous (encrypted) serial data transport over IP to a remote modem.

New features added include an embedded HF channel simulator, a probe waveform graphically displaying HF-VUHF system characteristics, and 100 programmable waveform/networking configuration presets.

Rockwell Collins MDM-Q9604 high-speed four-channel HF-VUHF data modem is capable of transmitting data over a standard 3 kHz SSB (Single Sideband) at 9600 bps, 6 kHz ISB (Independent Sideband) at 19200 bps, and four-channel (12 kHz bandwidth) operation providing data rates up to 64000 bps. The MDM-Q9604 modem provides an extensive waveform selection including a V/UHF autobaud waveform with data rates up to 76800 bps.

The MDM-Q9604 modem includes multiple, independent modem functionality allowing up to four simultaneous modem functions within a single MDM-Q9604 hardware platform. In addition, a waveform relaying and translation feature has been added enabling the receipt of one waveform mode on one audio channel, then translating the data to another waveform type for transmission from a second audio channel.

    System Features
  • Data Transmission Rates
    • 75 bps to 16000 bps in single HF channel operation
    • 9600 bps to 32000 bps in two HF channel operation
    • 9600 bps to 48000 bps in three HF channel operation
    • 12800 bps to 64000 bps in four HF channel operation
    • 2400 bps to 76800 bps in single V/UHF channel operation (if 25 kHz external audio port is available from V/UHF radio)
  • Designed to operate with Rockwell Collins HF Messenger™ data link (STANAG 5066 protocol) management software
  • Advanced QAM modulation in high data rate waveforms
  • Ethernet socket data and control interface
  • MIL-STD-188-110B Appendix C standard and high speed asynchronous data modes

  • Voice over IP (VoIP) mode
  • Serial Control over IP (SCoIP) remote control mode
  • Multiple (up to four), independent modem functions within a single Q9604 hardware platform
  • Waveform relay and translation; enabling the reception of a waveform one on audio channel, then encodes and modulates the data into a different waveform for transmission from another audio channel.
  • Comprehensive Built-in-Test (BIT)
  • Compatible with wide range of HF radios, including 1.8 kHz to 2.4 kHz bandwidth systems
  • Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) compatible
  • Graphical constellation, impulse response, and BER windows via the Q9604 built-in GUI
  • Remote, front panel and GUI control
  • JITC certification for MIL-STD-188-110B, including Appendices C and F
  • DERA (QinetiQ) certified for STANAG-4539, Annex B
    New MDM-Q9604 Features
  • Embedded 4-channel HF simulator, NATO validated for STANAG 4415. Features include presets for common ionosphere simulations, multiple configurable interferer types, simulations up to five multi-paths, and simulated STANAG 4203 HF radio filters. Noise types include Gaussian and CCIR noise simulating impulsive interferers such as lightning. The HF simulator function allows up to four independent channel simulations providing performance testing capability for MIL-STD 110B Appendix F.
  • Probe Waveform for system troubleshooting; features graphical display of system ALC/AGC characteristics, signal power spectrum, and impulse response
  • Up to 100 programmable waveform or mode configuration presets
    Data Services IP Gateway
  • VoIP function enables voice transmissions/receptions over IP with remote radio sites
  • SCoIP capability supports remote control, over an IP link, of any serially controlled device
  • SCoIP function is fully compatible with the entire HF Messenger suite of radio and modem control drivers
  • Encrypted synchronous data over IP function allows transport of synchronous or asynchronous serial data over an IP link to a remote MDM-Q9604 modem.
