9. Mobile DVB-RCS - Car News
– Deployed & ready for service in under 5 minutes
– No technical intervention required
– Available in 76cm, 96cm or 1.2m with 1W, 2W or 4W Ku BUC

10. DVB-RCS Based ApproachDVB-RCS Based Approach
 Broadband operation in Ku and Ka FSS bands on
secondary basis to fixed satellite and terrestrial services
– Comply with FSS off-axis emission requirements using
spectrum spreading, if required, for both return and forward
links
– Comply with flux density limits of other terrestrial services by
monitoring of mobile terminal location and shutting down of
transmission in exclusion zones (defined proximity to
terrestrial facilities )
 Doppler pre-compensation in terminal
 Handover of forward and return path carriers, rerouting
of traffic and signalling and reassignment of associated
logical resources and identifiers.

interfaces
 DVB-S / DVB-DSNG backward compatibility
 SNMP Control, Web control, RS232 or Telnet CLI and RS485
packet protocol
 DC power option
 L-Band Modem (950 –2000MHz TX)
 950-2150MHz RX
 LNB power and 22kHz switching tone
 Active front panel
 Separate IP interface for data and control

15.  Only Broadcast Demodulator supporting SHORT
FEC Blocks today
 Widest bit-rate and Symbol rate of any DVB-S2
Modulator / Demodulator or Modem
 Supports up to 32APSK today
 Fully Supports DVB-S2 Generic stream mode now
Based on an FPGA professional demodulator not a
QPSK/8PSK only consumer demodulator chipset
Advantech AMT75 Modems (2)Advantech AMT75 Modems (2)

16.  Support for both SHORT and NORMAL FEC
frame
– NORMAL FEC Block is 64Kbits
– SHORT FEC Block is 16Kbits
– Latency is between 1 and 2 blocks
– Below 1Mbps NORMAL block can introduce
significant latency!
 Bit-rates from 128Kbps to >100Mbps from one
unit!
– Store and Forward at 256kbps and HD H.264 4.2.2
at 20Mbps or even higher can be supported by the
same Modem
Advantech AMT75 Modems (3)Advantech AMT75 Modems (3)

17.  Simple ACM support if return link is present
– System simply adopts the highest throughput available
on the link
– If conditions deteriorate then the Modulation / Coding is
made more rugged and the bit-rate reduced
– Reduce the number of ‘live’ link failures
 Receiver auto-configures Modulation and Coding
– Users just have to enter Frequency and bit-rate
– Modulation and Coding data is carried in a well protected
header before each FEC block
– This is how ACM is signalled

18. For Direct-to-Home BroadcastersFor Direct-to-Home Broadcasters
 Chipsets are available now
– All support a limited subset (QPSK/8PSK)
– Constant Coding Modulation only
 Likely operating mode will be
– 8PSK
– Rate 2/3
– Typically 30MSymbols/S @ 0.20 roll-off
 Giving 59Mbits/S compared to 37Mbits/S today
60% more data with little change in
operating point
Add MPEG-4 to the mix for a channel
explosion!

– SHORT FEC FRAME (16Kbit blocks)
– Generic Stream Mode (efficient IP transmission)
– Adaptive Coding Modulation (better link
robustness)

22. For Distribution linksFor Distribution links
 VCM would allow services to be transmitted on
one signal tailored for different link budgets
 Radio on QPSK ½ to 1m dishes
 HDTV on 16APSK 5/6 to 3m dishes

23. For Data providersFor Data providers
 ACM could revolutionise DVB-RCS type
systems
 Each user gets ‘tailored’ Modulation / Coding
 Service can tolerate rain fade via ‘dynamic
ACM’
 ESA predicts a 2.6 fold increase in throughput
with DVB-S2 and ACM
