1.3.3 What the Satellite Receiver Does The Receiver can be tuned to a specified satellite channel frequency and
polarisation. The input is down-converted via a Low-Noise Block (LNB) to
provide an L-band input to the Receiver. The front-end tuning is
microprocessor controlled with a frequency synthesised local oscillator. A
software tuning and acquisition algorithm resolves translation errors
(mainly due to the LNB).
The signal is then passed to a demodulator that recovers the signal using
soft-decision decoding. The resulting stream is Reed-Solomon decoded and
descrambled to provide inputs to the Decoder circuit. The received channel
may contain multiple Services, therefore the Receiver’s demultiplexer is
configured to select a single video Service and other audio/data
components and present them at the output.
