where a higher control voltage at the input to the filter
produces lower gain, set the AGC_InvertOutput bit to
1.
The two outputs can be programmed to create a
sequential AGC system which maximizes RF gain for
improved receiver noise figure. This is accomplished by
setting AGC_ThresholdA (Bank 0 Register 14
H
) and
AGC_ThresholdB (Bank 0 Register 15
H
) to slightly
different values. The threshold which is set to a lower
value will cause its associated output to command
increase gain first. This output is typically connected to
the RF variable gain stages so that the best receiver
noise figure is achieved.
Timing Recovery and Nyquist Filter
The sampled signal (> 4 times the symbol rate in I and
Q format) is fed to this block to:
¥ Eliminate inter-symbol interference (ISI) by filtering it
with a square route raised cosine filter (SRRC) of a
selectable excess bandwidth (a) for 12%<= a<=20%.
¥ Recover the exact symbol rate, within 100 ppm of the
nominal value.
¥ Resample and transmit one composite sample (I and
Q for each symbol) to the equalizer. These samples
are taken at the epoch of each symbol.
Adaptive Channel Equalizer
The output of the Timing Recovery block is fed to the
Adaptive Equalizer at a rate of one complex
sample/symbol. The Adaptive Equalizer will:
1.
Compensate for channel distortion including:
a.
Multipath
b. AM hum
c.
FM hum
d. Phase noise
2.
Fine tune to the carrier frequency and phase offset.
3.
Set the acquisition flag ÒtrueÓ, after the equalizer
successfully locks on to the signal.
4.
Write to ErrPwr (Block 0 Register 44
H
) the estimated
output SNR.
The adaptive equalizer control registers are Block 1
Registers 21

FEC Decoder Blocks
The purpose of the FEC subsystem is to improve the bit
error rate performance of the data link. The
arrangement of the FEC blocks in the receiver is in
reverse order from the transmitter. The STEL-2176 FEC
subsystem can decode signals which are generated in
conformance with either the ITU-T (J.83) Annex A or
Annex B FEC standards.
There are two different though similar set of blocks
used for ITU-T (J.83) Annex A (Figure 6) and Annex B
(Figure 13).
The STEL-2176 supports the MPEG-2 standard.
MPEG-2 uses 188 byte packets with a sync byte and
three header bytes containing service identification,
scrambling, and control information. The 184 bytes of
data follows the sync and header bytes. Normally this
header information flows through to the receiver
output, but with ITU-T (J.83) Annex B there is an option
of bypassing the MPEG-2 outer layer of processing.
Annex A FEC
The ITU-T (J.83) Annex A FEC subsystem consists of
the following blocks:
Reed-Solomon
Decoder
Frame
Sync
I,Q from

This block maps the Adaptive Channel Equalizer I and
Q outputs for each symbol into 4, 6, or 8 bits for 16, 64,
or 256 QAM respectively. The mapping tables are as
follows:
