Glossary-18<br />
A set of eight contiguous frames, beginning with a master<br />
frame.<br />
A satellite with greater than 30 watts but less than 100<br />
watts of transponder radio frequency transmitting power.<br />
message <strong>service</strong> A <strong>service</strong> that provides resources for transmitting messages,<br />
using a packet-oriented protocol.<br />
modem A tele<strong>com</strong>munications device that converts between analog<br />
and digital signals, allowing <strong>com</strong>munication over voice<br />
circuits.<br />
modernization The replacement of equipment, weapons systems, and<br />
facilities in order to maintain or improve <strong>com</strong>bat capability,<br />
upgrade facilities, or reduce operating costs.<br />
modulation rate The rate at which information is transferred across a<br />
satellite channel, in units of symbols per second.<br />
modulo A mathematical function that yields the remainder of a<br />
division.<br />
<strong>multi</strong>cast Multicast is a subset of broadcast that extends the broadcast<br />
concept of one to many by allowing “the sending of one<br />
transmission to many users in a defined group, but not<br />
necessarily to all users in that group.”<br />
<strong>multi</strong>-h A scheme that employs <strong>multi</strong>ple modulation indices, or h<br />
values, that are cyclically changed for successive symbol<br />
intervals.<br />
<strong>multi</strong>ple-channel The network capability of automatically switching from<br />
channel to channel within a single satellite footprint for<br />
transmit and receive <strong>service</strong>s when <strong>com</strong>manded by the PCC.<br />
<strong>multi</strong>ple-hop Operations that relay information between two or more<br />
satellite channels.<br />
<strong>multi</strong>plexing Techniques that allow a number of simultaneous<br />
transmissions over a single circuit.<br />
narrowband<br />
operation<br />
A <strong>com</strong>munications mode whose essential spectral content is<br />
limited to a channel of nominal 5-kHz bandwidth.<br />
net guard address Address above the demarcation number that allows <strong>multi</strong>ple<br />
terminals to <strong>com</strong>municate. Also called network address,<br />
guard address, subnet address, or guard list address.<br />
node A terminal or channel controller in a network.<br />
noise power The noise power per hertz (Hz) of bandwidth (No = kT)<br />
spectral density<br />
noncoherent A demodulation process in which there is no synchronized
