SATCOM Shifts Reference Frequency from 10 to 100 MHz – A System Perspective
Dec 15, 2025 | Bias Tees
Over the last decade, the satellite communications (SATCOM) industry has been evolving to support both wider channel bandwidths (BWs) and higher order modulations such as higher order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The increasing constellation density of higher order QAM raises its sensitivity to phase jitter, which will also degrade the system BER if lower system phase noise is not first achieved. To achieve higher data throughput by correspondingly reducing system phase noise, many in the SATCOM industry have been moving the reference frequency of their distribution clocks and subsystem timing architectures away from the long-standing 10 MHz reference and toward higher-frequency references such as 100 MHz. Mini-Circuits supports this migration path with our line of Bias-Tee/Diplexers that are ideal for SATCOM installations.
