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.
