Digitally controlled PLL-video demodulator
With a dynamic threshold depending on  the picture contents. This technique ensures the optimum threshold for a given input signal. The lowest possible threshold is about  0.5dB (option: ISF)

Digital video processor The incoming video signal is divided in its original (r-y, b-y and Y) components. The video components will be digitally processed in the receiver and are recombined to a new clean  PAL or NTSC signal with a clean sync and colour reference signal on the output. The digital filter coefficients are user programmable and enable a noise reduction up to 11.7dB.

Digital AFCThe drift from the LNB local oscillator is digitally compensated by the receiver. This is an absolute necessity to keep the very weak signals in the centre of the filter passband and PLL demodulator. The AFC response time can be set to 10 or 250 seconds. The AFC tracking range is set to ± 5MHz.

Digital storage of receiver settings All channel settings, (Input frequency, bandwidth, sound-carrier frequencies, video polarity, video norm, LO-frequency and LNC supply voltage) can be stored in 99 channel NON-VOLATILE memory. The Digital video processor settings are also non-volatile stored as a general receiver setting.

Digital frequency synthesiserThe local oscillator is crystal controlled and the RX frequency can be entered directly in 1MHz steps. The LNB local oscillator frequency can be entered in the system, the offset is calculated and SUPER RX 2000 i, will display the satellite RX-frequency directly.

Integrated measurement functions
The measurement mode is menu driven and configures the device as a precision test-receiver.

SUPER RX 2000i can measure input levels within the range of 40 to 90 dBSYMBOL 109 \f "Symbol" \s 11V

The measured value can be displayed in dBSYMBOL 109 \f "Symbol" \s 11V, dBm or SYMBOL 109 \f "Symbol" \s 11V directly .

The LNB current and battery voltage can be measured.

The C/N and GT value can be measured. The C/N measurement capability enables you to predict directly the expected given video quality . The C/N value can be measured automatically in the range from 3 to 30dB. The measurement is, when started, continuously updated. The display shows the mean value of several high speed measurements.

A satellite receiving system requires several components. Special high performance components are needed if reception is planned outside the satellite covering zone.

Large dish

A larger dish is the first obvious choice to get a better signal but large dishes are very impractical. They are extremely expensive and dishes larger then 10 meter will requiring a precise motor control to follow the satellite movements, even geostationary satellites will require tracking control for optimum beam alignment.

The best possible LNB

Even the best possible LNB sensitivity is limited by the noise temp. of the dish as well as ambient (back ground) noise.

The best possible RECEIVER

The best possible receiver is limited by the required  bandwidth and the S/N ratio from the demodulator. Simply limiting the receivers band width, as found with conventional receivers, reduce the FM noise in the video, but causes strong noise within the colour parts of a picture and smearing on sharp edges. These limitations make common receivers unusable for professional low level signal reception
