DVB-S2X Wideband Demodulator

The Creonic DVB-S2X Wideband demodulator is a low-complexity high-performance solution that allows for symbol rates of up to 500 MSymb/s on state-of-the-art FPGAs. DVB-S2X is the next generation satellite transmission standard which is an extended version of its well-established predecessor DVB-S2. The new specification allows for spectral efficiency gains of up to 50% by offering lower roll-off factors, higher modulations and a finer code rate granularity compared to DVB-S2.

Your Benefits

Validated against 3rd party DVB-S2X modulators
The demodulator contains radio interface, decimator, timing recovery, equalizer, frame acquisition, and carrier recovery
Demodulator performs and supports spectrum inversion, DC offset correction, I/Q imbalance correction, decimation, coarse frequency estimation, timing recovery, matched filtering, downsampling, frame synchronization, PL descrambling, fine frequency correction, phase correction, automatic gain control, and PL deframing

Low-power and low-complexity design.
Very fast synchronization due to different sets of filter coefficients for acquisition and tracking mode
Perfectly fits to the Creonic DVB-S2X LDPC/BCH decoder
Available for ASIC and FPGAs (AMD Xilinx, Intel)
Deliverable includes VHDL source code or synthesized netlist, VHDL testbench, and bit-accurate Matlab, C or C++ simulation model
