ORDERING INFORMATION
DTA-2132 – High-end satellite receiver for PCIe
DTA-2132-SL – High-end satellite receiver for PCIe with StreamXpert Lite
DTA-2132-SX – High-end satellite receiver for PCIe with StreamXpert
DTA-2132 Features
- Supports advanced DVB-S2(X) features: VCM, ACM, multiple input streams (MIS) and Generic Stream (GS).
- Decoding and analysis of DVB Carrier ID system (DVB-CID), even while satellite carrier is interfered with other carriers.
- Hardware demodulator can be bypassed to obtain I/Q samples for recording or for SDR-based demodulation software.
- Reception of BBFRAMEs in L.3 packets.
- RF metrics and statistics are available for three windows (short, medium, long).
- LNB power insertion and DiSEqC support.
- Free SDK (DTAPI) for Windows and Linux is compatible with other DekTec adapters.
- PCI Express gen2 x4, low profile.
DTA-2132 Applications
- Monitoring solutions for DVB-S2 and S2X.
- DVB-CID monitoring and analysis.
- DVB-S2/S2X/CID modulator validation.
- High-speed data distribution.
Description
The main path of the DTA-2132 consists of a wide-band L-band tuner, 12-bit I/Q analog-to-digital converter, DVB-S2/S2X demodulator and decoder, L.3 packetizer, FIFO, DMA controller and PCIe interface. Constellation points are sampled after the demodulator, while LDPC error-rate and other statistics are gathered after the decoder.
A secondary I/Q path is used for multiple purposes: estimating the spectral characteristics of the input signal, DVB-CID demodulation, and sending I/Q samples to a user-space application for SDR, recording or other purposes. A third path low-pass filters the I- and Q samples and estimates the signal power, corrected by calibration tables.
The DTA-2132 also contains an 18V/600mA LNB power inserter with over-current protection, as well as a DiSEqC-2.0 22-kHz LNB-control signal inserter. Finally, a temperature monitoring unit controls fan speed to keep the board cool.
