The Creonic DVB-S2X modulator is a low-complexity high-performance solution that allows for symbol rates of up to 250 MSymb/s (2 Gbit/s for 256-APSK) on state-of-the-art FPGAs. The IP core performs all tasks of the inner transmitter and complements the Creonic DVB-S2X receiver solutions (DVB-S2X demodulator and DVB-S2X LDPC/BCH decoder). Additionally, the core comes with a license option for the Creonic DVB-CID modulator.

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.

Applications
  • Satellite communication (Digital Video Broadcasting, Interactive Services, News Gathering, Professional Services)
  • Nanosatellite and CubeSat devices
 
Standard Features the Core Supports
  • Compliant with ETSI EN 302 307-1 V1.4.1 (2014-11) (DVB-S2) and ETSI EN 302 307-2 V1.1.1 (2014-10) (DVB-S2X).
  • Supports CCM, ACM and VCM modes.
  • Support for QPSK up to 256-APSK.
  • Support for short blocks (16200 bits) and long blocks (64800 bits).
 
Your Benefits
  • Validated against the field-proven Creonic DVB-S2X demodulator and decoder IP cores.
  • Easy-to-use mode adaptation input interface.
  • Provides interpolated and gain-adjusted ZF basebend signal.
  • The modulator contains padder, BB scrambler, BCH encoder, LDPC encoder, bit interleaver, bit mapper, dummy PL frame insertion, PL signalling, pilot insertion, PL scrambler, baseband filter, interpolator, and gain adjustment.
  • Can be complemented with the Creonic DVB-CID modulator.
  • Low-power and low-complexity design.
  • Available for ASIC and FPGAs (Xilinx, Altera).
  • Deliverable includes VHDL source code or synthesized netlist, VHDL or SystemC testbench, and bit-accurate Matlab, C or C++ simulation model.
