Product introduction
Modulator is an important part of the terrestrial digital television broadcasting system, and also the core component of the transmitter.
The DVB-T2 Modulator developed by our company is composed of baseband processing, digital frequency synthesis, frequency converter, digital analog conversion, RF output, IP code flow input / output, monitoring system, control panel and other functional modules. It can realize the conversion from baseband data stream to DVB-T2 standard terrestrial digital television broadcasting RF signal.
It supports multi frequency network (MFN) and single frequency network (SFN) mode. The system block diagram is shown in Figure 1.
This product adopts a new design of digital predistortion (DPD). Through high speed and high precision sampling and digital signal analysis of the RF feedback signal, the baseband signal is predistorted adaptively, and the linear and nonlinear distortion of the RF output level is compensated by reverse, which greatly improves the performance and efficiency of the transmitting system. Rate. This technique can not only compensate for the linear / nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier system, but also correct the linear distortion caused by the output level passive devices, so as to improve the performance and signal quality of the transmitting system.
This product uses direct digital frequency synthesizer and digital frequency converter to make the digital domain close to the RF side to the maximum, and provide excellent system performance with excellent digital signal processing algorithm.
This product provides RS232/RS485/ network monitoring interface, so that the management system can monitor the operating state of the Modulator, and can upgrade the system through the network to realize the unmanned system of the transmitting system.
