The MVD DVB-S core is a drop-in module that includes the following functions:
- Input data framer from DVB-SPI source (MPEG-TS flow)
- DVB-S modulator
- Energy dispersal
- Reed-Solomon encoder
- Interleaver
- Convolutional encoder and puncturing
- RRC filter
- Flexible Digital Up Sampler
- Output for complex DAC (2x16bits)
The MVD DVB-S modulator core is delivered for baseband output to be natively connected to AD9789 DAC from Analog Devices but can be used in RF application when respectively connected to our UPCONVERTER core (for Analog Devices (AD9739A) or Maxim RF DACs (MAX5881))
