DVB S2/S Satellite Tuner SoC White Box IP

Description

This satellite tuner is a direct-conversion (zero IF) receiver for digital TV Broadcasting. On the RF input, there is a variable gain, low-noise amplifier (VGLNA). The RF gain is monitored by an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit to ensure an optimal signal level for the two mixers. Each mixer, which down-converts the signal to the baseband, is followed by an AGCcontrolled VGA, a low-pass filter and a second VGA. The local oscillator (LO) signals are provided by an integrated fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL), which contains an on-chip voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) meeting stringent phase noise requirements.

The PLL loop filter is partly integrated. The LO frequencies are programmable between 950 MHz and 2150 MHz. The comparison frequency for the phase-frequency detector (PFD) is generated by dividing the crystal oscillator reference frequency. The crystal frequency may be within the range 15 MHz to 31 MHz depending on the application.

DVB T/C Demodulator SoC White Box IP

Description

The V0367 inherits the functionality of the industry-leading enhanced V0362 terrestrial and V0297E cable demodulators in one single advanced combo receiver.

The V0367 COFDM section of the receiver is fully compliant with the DVB-T standard framing structure, channel coding and modulation. The symbol, timing and carrier recovery loops are completely digital and tailored to comply with state-of-the-art RF down-converting tuner devices.

The V0367 DVB-C section is a complete QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) demodulation and FEC (forward error correction) solution that performs IF-to-transport stream block processing of QAM signals.

The demodulator provides error-corrected MPEG transport-stream outputs which can be routed to the transport sub-system.
