High Data Rate Enhanced Demodulator (HDRM-D2)

The Zaltys High Data Rate Enhanced Demodulator (HDRM-D2) IP core efficiently realizes the digital baseband section of a high performance modem receive path. Using sophisticated DSP techniques, the core can demodulate BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, 8PSK, 8QAM (3 shapes), 16QAM, 64QAM, 16APSK & 32APSK schemes, all to a high performance level and at high symbol rates.

Functional blocks include:

  • Radio Interface including AGC
  • Quasi-Zero IF to Baseband Conversion
  • Sample Decimation
  • Symbol Timing Recovery
  • Symbol Rate Blind Adaptive Equaliser
  • Carrier Recovery
