Description
The HSP50306 is a 6-bit QPSK demodulator chip designed for use in high signal to noise environments which have some multipath distortion. The part recovers 2.048 MBPS data from samples of a QPSK modulated 10.7MHz or 2.1MHz carrier. The chip coherently demodulates the waveform, recovers symbol timing, adaptively equalizes the signal to remove multipath distortion, differentially decodes and multiplexes the data decisions. 8-A lock signal is provided to indicate when the tracking loops are locked and the data decisions are valid. To optimize performance, a gain error feedback signal is provided which can be filtered and used to close an I.F. AGC loop around the A/D converter.
The QPSK demodulator derives all timing from CLKIN. The chip divides this clock by 2 to provide the sample clock for the external A/D converter. The -27 version operates at a clock input of 26.97MHz and demodulates a 10.7MHz QPSK signal to recover the 2048 KSPS data. The -25 version operates at a clock input of 25.6MHz and demodulates a 2.1MHz QPSK signal to recover the 2048 KSPS data. Variation from these CLKIN frequencies will progressively degrade the receive data rate, the receive IF, acquisition sweep rate, acquisition sweep range and loop bandwidths as the deviation increases from normal CLKIN. Details on the maximum allowable deviation are found in the Input Characteristics section. The HSP50306 processes 6-bit offset binary data. 4-bit data provides adequate performance for many applications.
