NAVDAT Power Planning

Clarify your power requirements for OFDM-based maritime communication systems

As maritime communication systems transition from NAVTEX to NAVDAT, established power specification conventions — particularly peak envelope power (PEP) — are increasingly challenged by the realities of wideband digital transmission.

This white paper outlines key considerations for power planning in NAVDAT systems, with a focus on average power, linearity, and system efficiency in OFDM-based environments.
