High Data Rate Modem
The TC4 is a very compact high-performance V/UHF high data rate (HDR) modem module. The module is intended for integration into V/UHF radios and systems with an audio bandwidth exceeding 21 kHz (-30 db). Data is transferred at rates of up to 96,000 bps over a standard 25 kHz (-50 dB) V/UHF radio channel.
The TC4 offers a choice of two waveforms: • • RM-VH1: Optimized for naval channels RM-VH2: Optimized for land mobile channels
TC4-HDR supports following modem data rates:

Embedded ARQ
The TC4 offers the optional use of an internal ARQ protocol which ensures error-free delivery of data. This has advantages including following: • Wide SNR range and V/UHF channel conditions • No error-amplification due to crypto

* Max data rate excluding link setup (LSU).
Low data rates (up to 32 kbps) use Offset QPSK and 8-PSK waveforms. The low data rates are suitable for radios with a non-linear power amplifier (PA). The
