Product Description

DVB-RCS2 (Digital Video Broadcast - Second Generation DVB Interactive Satellite System) is the latest ETSI standard of the second generation for digital data transmission via satellites. It uses a new 16-state double-binary turbo decoder that significantly outperforms its dated 8-state counterpart of DVB-RCS. DVB-RCS2 is the first standard to adopt these highest performance turbo codes. New modulation schemes (8-PSK and 16-QAM) help to increase spectral efficiency even further. The outstanding error correction performance of the DVB-RCS2 turbo decoder makes it the ideal candidate for further applications where high spectral efficiency is key for lowering costs.

Applications
  • Satellite communication (Interactive Services, Professional Services, TDMA)
  • Applications with highest demands on forward error correction
  • Applications with the need for a wide range of code rates and block lengths

    • Your Benefits
  • Gains up to 4 dB compared to convolutional codes.
  • Design-time configuration of throughput for optimal resource utilization.
  • Low-power and low-complexity design.
  • Burst-to-burst on-the-fly configuration.
  • High block length and code rate granularity.
  • Configurable amount of turbo decoder iterations.

    Key Features and Benefits

    • Compliant with ETSI 301 545-2 V1.1.1 (2012-01) (DVB-RCS2)
    • Support for all turbo code block lengths and code rates as defined by the standard
    • Support for all modulation schemes (QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM)
