DATV demodulator plugin

Specific dependencies

  • ffmpeg
  • libavcodec-dev
  • libavformat-dev

LeanSDR framework from F4DAV is intensively used. It has been integrated in the source tree and modified to suit SDRangel specific needs.

Introduction

This plugin can be used to view digital amateur analog television transmissions a.k.a DATV. The only supported standard for now is DVB-S in various modulations. The standard modulation is QPSK but experimental configurations with other PSK modulations (BPSK, 8PSK, QAMn) can be selected.

The whole bandwidth available to the channel is used. That is it runs at the device sample rate possibly downsampled by a power of two in the source plugin.

Interface

DATV Demodulator plugin GUI

A: RF settings

DATV Demodulator plugin RF GUI

A.1: Channel frequency shift

This is the shift of channel center frequency from RF passband center frequency

A.2: RF bandwidth

Sets the bandwidth of the channel filter

A.3: Channel power

Power of signal received in the channel (dB)

B: DATV section

B.1: Symbol constellation

This is the constellation of the PSK or QAM synchronized signal. When the demodulation parameters are set correctly (modulation type, symbol rate and filtering) and signal is strong enough to recover symbol synchronization the purple dots appear close to the white crosses. White crosses represent the ideal symbols positions in the I/Q plane.

B.2a: DATV signal settings

DATV Demodulator plugin DATV2 GUI

B.2a.1: DATV standard

For now only the DVB-S standard is available

B.2a.2: Modulation type
  • BPSK: binary phase shift keying. Symbols are in π/4 and -3π/4 positions.
  • QPSK: quadrature phase shift keying. Symbols are in π/4, 3π/4, -3π/4 and -π/4 positions.
  • 8PSK: 8 phase shift keying a.k.a. π/4 QPSK. Symbols are in 0, π/4, π/2, 3π/4, π, -3π/4, -π/2 and -π/4 positions
  • APSK16: amplitude and phase shift keying with 16 symbols
  • APSK32: amplitude and phase shift keying with 32 symbols
  • APSK64e: amplitude and phase shift keying with 64 symbols
  • QAM16: quadrature amplitude modulation with 16 symbols
  • QAM64: quadrature amplitude modulation with 64 symbols
  • QAM256: quadrature amplitude modulation with 256 symbols
B.2a.3: Symbol rate

This controls the expected symbol rate

B.2a.4: FEC rate

Choice between 1/2 , 2/3 , 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8.

B.2a.5: Notch filter

LeanSDR feature: attempts to fix signal spectrum shape by eliminating peaks. This is the number of peaks to be tracked. It is safer to keep the 0 default (no notch).

B.2a.6: Fast lock

Faster signal decode but may yield more errors at startup.

B.2a.7: Allow drift

Small frequency drift compensation.

B.2a.8: Hard metric

Constellation hardening (LeanSDR feature).

B.2a.9: Viterbi

Viterbi decoding. Be aware that this is CPU intensive. Should be limited to FEC 1/2 , 2/3 and 3/4 in practice.

B.2a.10: Reset to defaults

Push this button when you are lost...

B.2a.11: Filter
  • FIR Linear
  • FIR Nearest
  • RRC (Root Raised Cosine): when selected additional controls for roll-off factor (%) and excursion (dB) are provided.
B.2a.12: Amount of data decoded

Automatically adjusts unit (kB, MB, ...)

B.2a.13: Stream speed
B.2a.14: Buffer status

Gauge that shows percentage of buffer queue length

B.2b: DATV video stream

DATV Demodulator plugin video GUI

B.2b.1: Image thumbnail

Use full screen button (5) to switch to full screen video

B.2b.2: Stream information
B.2b.3: Stream decoding status

These non clickable checkboxes report the decoding status (checked when OK):

  • data: reception on going
  • transport: transport stream detected
  • video: video data detected
  • decoding: video being decoded
B.2b.4: Play/pause video playback
B.2b.4: Full screen mode

Click on this button to see video in full screen mode then click anywhere on the screen to exit full screen mode
