DESCRIPTION

The STV0299 Satellite Receiver with FEC is a CMOS single-chip multistandard demodulator for digital satellite broadcasting. It consists of two A/D converters for I-input and Q-input, a multistandard QPSK and BPSK demodulator, and a forward error correction (FEC) unit having both an inner (Viterbi) and outer (Reed-Solomon) decoder.

The FEC unit is compliant with the DVB-S and DSSTM specifications. Processing is fully digital.

It integrates a derotator before the Nyquist root filter, allowing a wide range of offset tracking.

The high sampling rate facilitates the implementation of low-cost, direct conversion tuners.
