STA002

DESCRIPTION

Designed for World Space satellites digital audio receivers, the STA002 Digital Receiver Front-end integrates all the blocks needed to demodulate incoming digital satellite audio signals from the tuner: analog to digital converter, QPSK demodulator, signal power estimator, automatic gain control, Viterbi decoder, deinterleaver, Reed-Solomon decoder and energy dispersal descrabler. Its advanced error correction functions guarantees a low error rate even with small low gain receiver antennas.
