General Description
The MW_ISDBT/Tb modulator core performs the digital baseband functionality for the transmission side of Japanese/Brazilian Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting Terrestrial link. The modulator core implements the framing functions as defined by ARIB STD B31 (2005-11). It is configurable to supports all several configurations regard to constellation, DQPSK, 4QAM, 16QAM and 64QAM, code rate, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8, guard interval, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4, 1k-2k-4k-8k. Microblaze or external processor interface, with status and control registers, is available for controlling and managing the core. External memories (SDRAM and DDR) are used to support SFN functionality. TS over IP, for IP based contribution, or ASI contribution are available. A direct interface with Analog Devices AD9789, covering VHF-UHF bands is implemented. Internal 20-bit architecture for high level MER and BER performances.
