Latest DVB-S technology on the smallest of spaces
The housing of the new Super Compact DVB-S tuner is around a third smaller in volume compared to standard sized models. This, coupled with
the model variations for horizontal or vertical integration, means that it is much easier to accommodate two or more tuner components in the
housing chassis and to make the best use of the space available for slim-line AV equipment. In this way, televisions and PVRs, for example, can
be equipped with an additional receiver part for satellite TV. Up until now, many appliances needed an external receiver for this.
Despite its new slimmed down form, the new Super Compact DVB-S tuner has excellent technical features, particularly in terms of receiver
dynamics, interference immunity, input sensitivity and sideband noise. This is ensured by the receiver ICs which have been specially developed
by Sharp and are based on many years of development know-how in the high-frequency range and special knowledge in HDTV reception.
The slim-line DVB-S tuners cover the typical frequency range between 950 and 2150 MHz for satellite TV transmission with standard reso-
lution (SDTV). The model series of the Super Compact DVB-S tuners includes pure RF front-end reception parts with housing dimensions of
30.5 x 29.6 x 13.2 millimetres as well as so-called network-integrated modules (NIM) tuners. These are equipped with a QPSK demodulator
type STV0288 from ST Microelectronics that supplies a digital 8-bit data stream for further signal processing. The housing of the DVB-S Super
Compact NIM measures 59.1 x 29.6 x 13.2 millimetres.
Like all terrestrial, satellite and cable tuners from Sharp, the new Super Compact DVB-S tuners comply with the valid RoHS standards.
