Description

DTA-2132 Features

  • Supports advanced DVB-S2(X) features: VCM, ACM, multiple input streams (MIS) and Generic Stream (GS).
  • Decoding and analysis of DVB Carrier ID system (DVB-CID), even while satellite carrier is interfered with other carriers.
  • Hardware demodulator can be bypassed to obtain I/Q samples for recording or for SDR-based demodulation software.
  • Reception of BBFRAMEs in L.3 packets.
  • RF metrics and statistics are available for three windows (short, medium, long).
  • LNB power insertion and DiSEqC support.
  • Free SDK (DTAPI) for Windows and Linux is compatible with other DekTec adapters.
  • PCI Express gen2 x4, low profile.

DTA-2132 Applications

  • Monitoring solutions for DVB-S2 and S2X.
  • DVB-CID monitoring and analysis.
  • DVB-S2/S2X/CID modulator validation.
  • High-speed data distribution.

Description

The main path of the DTA-2132 consists of a wide-band L-band tuner, 12-bit I/Q analog-to-digital converter, DVB-S2/S2X demodulator and decoder, L.3 packetizer, FIFO, DMA controller and PCIe interface. Constellation points are sampled after the demodulator, while LDPC error-rate and other statistics are gathered after the decoder.

 

A secondary I/Q path is used for multiple purposes: estimating the spectral characteristics of the input signal, DVB-CID demodulation, and sending I/Q samples to a user-space application for SDR, recording or other purposes. A third path low-pass filters the I- and Q samples and estimates the signal power, corrected by calibration tables.

The DTA-2132 also contains an 18V/600mA LNB power inserter with over-current protection, as well as a DiSEqC-2.0 22-kHz LNB-control signal inserter. Finally, a temperature monitoring unit controls fan speed to keep the board cool.
