Scope of this Chapter
This chapter provides a simplified overview of the SM6600 range of
Satellite Modulators.

Basic DVB-S and DVB-DSNG Principles and
Techniques
7.2.1 DVB-S
Modulation
The Modulators support QPSK modulation in accordance with ETSI
standard EN 300 421 (DVB-S). Additionally, they support BPSK modulation
in accordance with ETSI Technical Report TR 101 198. In the BPSK and
QPSK modulation schemes, each symbol represents 1 and 2 bits of data,
respectively. BPSK gives the lower bit-rate for a given symbol rate but is
the most rugged with respect to noise and interference.
Five convolutional code rates are available with BPSK and QPSK
modulations as follows:
1

2
,
2
⁄
3
,
3

,
5
⁄
6
, and
7
⁄
8.
These provide different
compromises between bit-rate and ruggedness.

7.2.2 DVB-DSNG
Modulation
The Modulators optionally support 8PSK and 16QAM modulations in
accordance with ETSI standard EN 301 210 (DVB-DSNG). In the 8PSK and
16QAM modulation schemes, each symbol represents 3 and 4 bits of data,
respectively. 16QAM gives twice the bit-rate of QPSK for a given symbol
rate but is less rugged with respect to noise and interference.
For these modulations, pragmatic trellis coded modulation (PTCM) is used.
PTCM code rates of

code rates of

are available with 16QAM modulation.
