SHORT TECHNICAL GUIDE

CHANNEL PACKAGE

The channel package for a digital transponder normally includes several TV and radio channels. Each channel package has a ﬁxed assignment for the transponder transmission frequency, for polarisation (horizontal or vertical), for the symbol rate and for the Viterbi rate or error rate.

DISEQC™

DiSEqC™ (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a communication system between a satellite receiver (master) and the peripheral satellite components (slaves), such as LNBs, multi-switches, rotating antenna systems.

It is a single master/multi-slave system, i.e. there is only ever one master in the satellite system. All activities start from the master.

DISEQC™ COMPONENTS

If DiSEqC™ switching matrices are cascaded, the master receiver must transmit the DiSEqC™ signal several times, so that all DiSEqC™ multi-switches in the cascade receive their commands.

These days, DiSEqC™ components (slaves) must be downward compatible, i.e. respond to the analogue switching criteria from receivers that are only equipped with H/V and 22 kHz control signals.

A DiSEqC™ switching matrix will work with analogue switching criteria until the DiSEqC™ command from the master is received. All analogue switching criteria are then ignored.

DVB MPEG-2

DVB is the abbreviation for Digital Video Broadcasting. DVB-S refers to the transmission method (S = satellite). MPEG is the abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group that formulates internationally applicable standards for the digital compression of video and audio. MPEG -2 has established itself as the standard for compression of digital TV signals. MPEG -2 works up to a data rate of 100 Mbit/s.

EB/NO RATIO

The Eb/No ratio is a measure of the signal to noise ratio of a digital signal. The value is not identical to the C/N value familiar from analogue reception technology. At Eb/No values below 5 dB no reception is normally possible.

FEC

FEC is the abbreviation for “Forward Error Correction”. The FEC error rate corresponds to the Viterbi rate.
