1.3.2 Input 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 polarisation switching to the LNB.
1.3.3 What the Satellite Receiver Does
The Receiver can be tuned to a specified satellite channel frequency and polarisation. 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 synthesised 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 soft-decision
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.
