The link budget summary for the different MODCOD combinations is as follows:

Based on this analysis, QPSK, LDPC 2/3 with Carrier-in-Carrier provides the maximum savings of
40%.
In addition to 40% reduction in Leased Bandwidth, using Carrier-in-Carrier also reduced the
required HPA Power by almost 40%:

3.11.9.2 Asymmetric Data Rate Link
As occupied (or allocated) bandwidth of a Carrier-in-Carrier circuit is dictated by the larger of the
two carriers, it is strongly recommended that the smaller carrier be spread as much as possible
using a lower order modulation and/or FEC, while meeting the PSD ratio spec. Spreading the
smaller carrier using a lower order modulation has multiple benefits:
• Lower order modulation is always more robust;
• Lower order modulation uses less transponder power – this reduces total transponder, and
increases available link margin;
• Lower order modulation uses less transmit power on the ground – this can significantly
reduce the BUC/SSPA size by not only reducing the transmit EIRP, but also reducing the
BUC/SSPA backoff
Consider the following example:
IS-901 @ 342º W, 22/22 (EH/EH)
Earth Station 1 Africa – 4.5 m
Earth Station 2 Africa – 3.0 m
Data Rate 3000 Mbps / 1000 Mbps
