Back-off setting for 16APSK or 32APSK operation
AZ930 Series DVB Satellite Demodulator
This product has reached end of life. Please contact us for a suitable replacement.
The Newtec AZ930 is a state-of-the-art satellite demodulator designed for applications where two parts of a Wide Area Network (WAN) are connected over satellite using routers with HSSI interfaces. The AZ930 can be used in conjunction with the WAN Satellite Modulator AZ130. The AZ930 has a dual L-band input (950-2150 MHz). The active input is selected by the user and can provide DC power and frequency band selection signals compatible with most professional and commercial LNBs. Optionally, one L-band input can be replaced by an IF (50-180 MHz) input.
High Bit Rates
At the output of the demodulator, the signal is available on an HSSI interface with bit rates up to 52 Mbit/s (standard HSSI) or 110 Mbit/s (extended HSSI). This demodulator is fully compliant with the DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards and provides exceptional performance and bandwidth efficiency.
Adaptive Equalizer
Newtec AZ930 Azimuth is equipped with an adaptive equalizer to compensates linear distortion of the transmission channel. The integrated Noise & Distortion Estimator tool provides an accurate reading of the satellite link margin even in presence of non-linear distortion and allows the user to find the optimum input back-off setting very easily for 16APSK or 32APSK operation, whether or not non-linear pre-distortion is applied .
