The Local Oscillator (L.O.) control specifies the frequency of the LNB local oscillator. The standard L.O. frequencies for “C” and “Ku” bands are 5150MHz and 10750MHz respectfully although, some other variants are included. If the desired L.O. frequency is not listed, select either C: Manual or Ku: Manual and enter the L.O. frequency in the Manual L.O. field.

The Downlink and Local Oscillator frequencies can be used to determine if spectrum inversion occurs using the following rules. If the Downlink frequency is less than the Local Oscillator frequency, then spectrum inversion does occur. If the Downlink frequency is greater than the Local Oscillator frequency, then spectrum inversion does not occur.

L-Band Allows the operator to enter the L-Band

Modulation Type

CCM Mode* When the Constant Coding and Modulation (CCM)

Allows the selection of the mod type. DVBS

option is selected, the same modulation mode and FEC is used for all physical layer framing. The advantage of using DVB-S2 in the CCM mode is the improved protection that is achieved by utilizing the new inner and outer codes. Another advantage is the 30 percent increase in

950MHz - 2150MHz

DVBS-2

CCM AUTO-CCM

capacity that is realized while using the method. If Auto-CCM is selected, the receiver will detect and configure the Modulation Mode, Pilot, and Frame Type.

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) is available for receivers with the appropriate hardware and feature key. In this mode, modulation and coding can vary on a DVB-S2 frame by frame basis. Auto-CCM is the preferred method to automatically detect modcod, pilots and frame type. **This configuration is not available via front panel at this time.

note: this field is not applicable for DVB-S. Similar functionality (AUTO MODCOD detection) can be used in DVB-S by using QPSK_AUTO or 8PSK_AUTO modulation modes.

Modulation Mode

This control allows the operator to select the desired modulation mode and FEC code rate.

note: This is a configuration value. When in DVB-S2 AUTO-CCM mode, actual detected modulation can be found in the Quick View status. QPSK_AUTO and 8PSK_AUTO configurations are only valid in DVB-S. See how to appendix for automatic detection instructions.

We display all possible ranges available via our device in the Front Panel. This list will differ from the list found in the web UI as it only shows those options available based on the hardware and feature keys found.

Symbol Rate The number of symbols transmitted per second.

The amount of data per symbol is dependant upon the modulation type, e.g. QPSK, 8PSK, etc.

Acquisition Range

Acquisition Range is defined as the range of frequencies that the tuner will scan in order to achieve carrier synchronization. Allows the operator to select the range of frequencies that

Range can be determined by feature key.

0 - 7.5MHz

the RF tuner will sweep through to acquire the carrier. e.g. If the desired carrier is at 1.080GHz and the Acquisition Range is set to 5MHz, the RF tuner will sweep through 1.080GHz ± 2.5MHz to acquire the carrier. Units are in MHz.

note: Actual acquisition range available is

symbol rate dependent for advanced and premium demods. If symbol rate < 5MBaud, maximum range is 1.5 * symbol rate. If symbol rate > 5Mbaud, maximum range is

7.5MHz.

Rolloff The rolloff selection will determine the shape of

the input filter. The occupied bandwidth of the modulated signal is the symbol rate multiplied by (1+α) where alpha (α) is the rolloff factor (%). By using a lower alpha, carriers can be spaced closer together on a given transponder or an increased symbol rate can be realized for a given bandwidth.

note: 5%, 10%, and 15% rolloff is only applicable in DVB-S2 with premium demodulators. AUTO is only available in DVB-S.

Pilot DVB-S2 allows the option of inserting bursts of

pilot tones that are very robust and prevents the carrier recovery system from failing prematurely. However, when pilots are enabled, the total data rate throughput is reduced by approximately

3.0%.

note: Pilot is not applicable in DVB-S or AUTOCCM modes.

FEC Frame Type*

When operating in DVB-S2, the Frame Type options are either Normal or Short. The Normal 64,800-bit FEC frame provides better protection but introduces more latency compared to the Short 16,200-bit FEC frame. Therefore, the Short FEC frame type should be selected in applications where latency is critical and the longer frame type should be used to optimize protection.
