DVB-S2X LDPC / BCH
Decoder
The Creonic DVB-S2X decoder IP core is a scalable solution that allows for symbol rates of up to 100 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.

Applications
-
Satellite communication (Digital Video Broadcasting, Interactive Services, News Gathering, Professional Services)
- Nanosatellite and CubeSat devices
- Applications with the highest demands on forward error correction
-
Applications with the need for a wide range of code rates
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 ACM, CCM, and VCM modes
- Support for short, medium and long blocks (16200, 32400 and 64800 bits).
- Support for all modulation schemes (BPSK, QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-APSK, 32-APSK, 64-APSK, 128-APSK, 256-APSK)
- Support for very low SNR modes (VLSNR) with SNRs below -9 dB.
- Support for all LDPC and BCH codes as defined by the standard
