1.3The Satellite Receiver

1.3.1Typical Satellite System

The Multi-Format Receiver is a component of the MPEG-4 AVC/MPEG-2/DVB compliant range of Ericsson's equipment. They are designed for use by broadcasters and distributors of video, audio and data Services over satellite.

Figure 1.2 Typical Satellite Compression System

1-8	EN/LZT 790 0003/2 R1A

Introduction

1.3.2Input Connections

The Satellite Receiver interfaces directly to Low-Noise Block (LNB) and accepts an intermediate frequency (IF) input in the band 950 - 2150 MHz (L-band) for operation in the specified symbol-rate range (see Annex B, Technical Specification). The unit can provide dc power and polarization switching to the LNB.

1.3.3What the Satellite Receiver Does

The Receiver can be tuned to a specified satellite channel frequency and polarization. The input is down-converted via a Low-Noise Block (LNB) to provide an L-band input to the Receiver. The front-end tuning is microprocessor controlled with a frequency synthesized local oscillator. A software tuning and acquisition algorithm resolves translation errors (mainly due to the LNB).

The signal is then passed to a demodulator that recovers the signal using softdecision decoding. The resulting stream is Reed-Solomon decoded and descrambled to provide inputs to the Decoder circuit. The received channel may contain multiple Services, therefore the Receiver’s demultiplexer is configured to select a single video Service and other audio/data components and present them at the output.

The Decoder is a component of Ericsson’s range of equipment. It is designed for use by broadcasters and distributors of video and audio Services. It can be used as a Transport Stream monitor or to decode signals received over a telecommunications network.

Figure 1.4 Typical Compression System

1.4.2What the Decoder Does

The ASI interface is used to present the Transport Stream in the format required by the internal Decoder circuitry. At this point, the operation of the unit is the same as the Satellite Receiver.

The Decoder can be used to receive an input signal from a Public Telecom Network via a Network Adapter Unit (NAU). No error correction is supported at the input of the unit so a level of Quality of Service should be negotiated with the Telecom Network Provider.

The Decoder is configured to select a single video Service and other audio/data components from the multiple Services on the incoming Transport Stream and present them at the output.
