Definitions
- the invention is based on a satellite reception system according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein currently only TV channels are affected because FM audio broadcast channels are not yet emitted by satellites via their own transponders.
- the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range (0.95 to 1.75 GHz) offers a bandwidth of 800 MHz for signal transmission.
- the DBS satellites (e.g. TV-Sat .., TDF ..) occupy a channel bandwidth of 27 MHz, which means that the channel grid described for the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range can be optimally filled.
- the channels of the communication satellites (Eutel-Sat .., Intel-Sat ..), on the other hand, have a channel bandwidth of 36 MHz, so that when they are (co-) transmitted in the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range, depending on their number, considerably less in individual cases than the 40 channels mentioned have space.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of To further develop the receiving system of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 such that an optimal channel assignment is possible in the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range even when transmitting communication satellite channels - whether exclusively or together with DBS channels.
- a filter which selects the respective channel and suppresses the broadband noise, is connected upstream of the frequency divider, which is expediently implemented in digital technology.
- the invention is therefore of course not limited to the reception of signals from the currently radiating communication satellites (possibly together with those from DBS satellites), but also includes - in the future possibly transmitted - FM signals whose channel bandwidth is at least approximately an integer multiple (s). of the raster channel bandwidth in the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range, the digital frequency divider then having the division factor n.
- the advantage is achieved that both the input filter mentioned and a filter connected downstream of the frequency divider for suppressing the harmonics generated by the latter do not have to be tunable and are therefore simple and inexpensive to produce.
- better filter selection properties can be achieved at lower frequencies.
- FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of such a satellite reception system and
- FIG. 2 shows the block diagram of a converter unit contained therein.
- DBS signals are received in a first satellite receiving antenna SA1, converted into channels of the DBS channel grid in the first satellite intermediate frequency range in an integrated "outdoor unit” OU1 and fed to a first distributor V1.
- Channels of a communication satellite eg ECS 1 are received with a second satellite receiving antenna SA2, converted into free areas of the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range by means of an outdoor unit OU2 and fed to a second distributor V2.
- This is followed by a converter unit UE1 to UE5 for each of five user channels, in which the channels are each converted to a lower frequency range, divided by the factor 2 and converted into a free channel in the channel grid of the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range.
- the outputs of the converter units UE1 to UE5 are interconnected via a third distributor V3 and fed to the first distributor V1, whose output line L distributes the signals in a subsequent communal or cable system.
- Each converter unit UE1 to UE5 consists, in succession from input E to output A, of a down-converter U1 having a tunable oscillator O1 and a mixer M1, a permanently tuned first filter F1, a control amplifier RV, a digital frequency divider FT, and a permanently tuned second Filter F2, a step-up converter U2 having a tunable oscillator O2 and a mixer M2, a post-amplifier NV and a tunable filter F3.
- first (input) filter F1 (480 MHz) this channel is filtered out very selectively and the broadband noise is reduced below a non-disturbing value.
- the bandwidth corresponds to the frequency swing of the mentioned channel of 36 MHz.
- the control amplifier RV provides the subsequent frequency divider FT with the constant input level required by it.
- the output signal of the up-converter U2 now fits into the DBS channel grid of the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range, so that it can be fully occupied with 40 channels and can therefore be optimally used in a simple manner.
- the signal is raised to a level suitable for feeding into the distribution network; in the subsequent third (output) filter F3, interfering secondary emissions (oscillator frequency, image frequency and mixed products) are also suppressed.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Satelliten-Empfangsanlage gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1, wobei derzeit nur TV-Kanäle betroffen sind, weil FM-Tonrundfunkkanäle noch nicht über eigene Transponder von Satelliten abgestrahlt werden.
Der 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereich (0,95 bis 1,75 GHz) bietet für die Signalübertragung eine Bandbreite von 800 MHz. In diesem Band können jeweils 20 FM-TV-Kanäle mit einer Bandbreite von je 27 MHz (Frequenzhub 13,5 MHz/V) für jede der beiden Polarisationen (links- und rechtsdrehend zirkular), insgesamt also 40 DBS-Kanäle übertragen werden, wobei der Kanalabstand 19,18 MHz beträgt. Da alle geradzahligen Kanäle der linksdrehend zirkularen Polarisation zugeordnet sind und alle ungeradzahligen Kanäle der rechtsdrehend zirkularen Polarisation, ergibt sich für jede Polarisation ein DBS-Kanalraster von 2 x 19,18 = 38,36 MHz.The invention is based on a satellite reception system according to the preamble of
The 1st satellite intermediate frequency range (0.95 to 1.75 GHz) offers a bandwidth of 800 MHz for signal transmission. In this band, 20 FM-TV channels with a bandwidth of 27 MHz each (frequency swing 13.5 MHz / V) can be transmitted for each of the two polarizations (left and right circular), a total of 40 DBS channels, whereby the channel spacing is 19.18 MHz. Since all even-numbered channels are assigned to the left-handed circular polarization and all odd-numbered channels to the right-handed circular polarization, a DBS channel grid of 2 x 19.18 = 38.36 MHz results for each polarization.
Die DBS-Satelliten (z.B. TV-Sat.., TDF..) belegen eine Kanalbandbreite von 27 MHz, womit das beschriebene Kanalraster des 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereiches optimal ausfüllbar ist. Die Kanäle der Kommunikations-Satelliten (Eutel-Sat.., Intel-Sat..) weisen dagegen eine Kanalbandbreite von 36 MHz auf, so daß bei deren (Mit-) Übertragung im 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereich entsprechend ihrer Anzahl im Einzelfall erheblich weniger als die genannten 40 Kanäle Platz haben.The DBS satellites (e.g. TV-Sat .., TDF ..) occupy a channel bandwidth of 27 MHz, which means that the channel grid described for the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range can be optimally filled. The channels of the communication satellites (Eutel-Sat .., Intel-Sat ..), on the other hand, have a channel bandwidth of 36 MHz, so that when they are (co-) transmitted in the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range, depending on their number, considerably less in individual cases than the 40 channels mentioned have space.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Satelliten- Empfangsanlage der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Art derart weiterzubilden, daß auch bei Übertragung von Kommunikationssatelliten-Kanälen - sei es ausschließlich oder zusammen mit DBS-Kanälen - im 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereich eine optimale Kanalbelegung möglich ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of To further develop the receiving system of the type specified in the preamble of
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst. Dabei ist dem zweckmäßigerweise in Digitaltechnik ausgeführten Frequenzteiler ein Filter vorgeschaltet, das den jeweiligen Kanal selektiert und das Breitbandrauschen unterdrückt.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Frequenzhubreduktion durch Frequenzteilung ist auf einfache Weise eine vollständige Belegung des DBS-Kanalrasters im 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereich auch bei Übertragung von FM-Kanälen mit im Vergleich zu DBS-Kanälen größerer Bandbreite ermöglicht. Die Erfindung ist daher selbstverständlich nicht beschränkt auf den Empfang von Signalen der derzeit abstrahlenden Kommunikationssatelliten (gegebenenfalls zusammen mit solchen von DBS-Satelliten), sondern umfaßt auch - zukünftig eventuell ausgestrahlte - FM-Signale, deren Kanalbandbreite wenigstens in etwa ein ganzzahliges Vielfaches (n) der Rasterkanalbandbreite im 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereich beträgt, wobei der digitale Frequenzteiler dann den Teilungsfaktor n aufweist.This object is achieved by the features listed in the characterizing part of
Through the frequency deviation reduction by frequency division according to the invention, complete occupancy of the DBS channel grid in the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range is made possible in a simple manner even when FM channels are transmitted with a wider bandwidth than DBS channels. The invention is therefore of course not limited to the reception of signals from the currently radiating communication satellites (possibly together with those from DBS satellites), but also includes - in the future possibly transmitted - FM signals whose channel bandwidth is at least approximately an integer multiple (s). of the raster channel bandwidth in the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range, the digital frequency divider then having the division factor n.
Bei einer Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Satelliten-Empfangsanlage nach Anspruch 2 ist der Vorteil erreicht, daß sowohl das erwähnte Eingangsfilter, als auch ein dem Frequenzteiler zur Unterdrückung der von diesem erzeugten Oberwellen nachgeschaltetes Filter nicht durchstimmbar sein muß und daher einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar ist. Außerdem sind bei tieferen Frequenzen bessere Filterselektionseigenschaften realisierbar.In one embodiment of the satellite receiving system according to the invention, the advantage is achieved that both the input filter mentioned and a filter connected downstream of the frequency divider for suppressing the harmonics generated by the latter do not have to be tunable and are therefore simple and inexpensive to produce. In addition, better filter selection properties can be achieved at lower frequencies.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend in den Figuren beispielsweise näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt Figur 1 den Prinzipaufbau einer solchen Satelliten-Empfangsanlage und Figur 2 das Blockschaltbild einer darin enthaltenen Umsetzereinheit.The invention is illustrated in the figures below, for example explained. 1 shows the basic structure of such a satellite reception system and FIG. 2 shows the block diagram of a converter unit contained therein.
In einer ersten Satelliten-Empfangsantenne SA1 werden DBS-Signale empfangen, in einer integrierten "Outdoor-Unit" OU1 in Kanäle des DBS-Kanalrasters im 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereich umgesetzt und einem ersten Verteiler V1 zugeleitet.
Mit einer zweiten Satelliten-Empfangsantenne SA2 werden Kanäle eines Kommunikationssatelliten (z.B. ECS 1) empfangen, mittels einer Outdoor-Unit OU2 in freie Bereiche des 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereichs umgesetzt und einem zweiten Verteiler V2 zugeführt. Diesem ist für jeden von fünf Nutzkanälen eine Umsetzereinheit UE1 bis UE5 nachgeschaltet, in denen die Kanäle jeweils in eine tiefere Frequenzlage umgesetzt, durch den Faktor 2 geteilt und in einen freien Kanal im Kanalraster des 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereichs aufwärts umgesetzt werden. Die Ausgänge der Umsetzereinheiten UE1 bis UE5 sind über einen dritten Verteiler V3 zusammengeschaltet und dem ersten Verteiler V1 zugeführt, dessen Ausgangsleitung L die Signale in einer nachfolgenden Gemeinschafts- oder Kabelanlage verteilt.DBS signals are received in a first satellite receiving antenna SA1, converted into channels of the DBS channel grid in the first satellite intermediate frequency range in an integrated "outdoor unit" OU1 and fed to a first distributor V1.
Channels of a communication satellite (eg ECS 1) are received with a second satellite receiving antenna SA2, converted into free areas of the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range by means of an outdoor unit OU2 and fed to a second distributor V2. This is followed by a converter unit UE1 to UE5 for each of five user channels, in which the channels are each converted to a lower frequency range, divided by the
Jede Umsetzereinheit UE1 bis UE5 besteht, vom Eingang E zum Ausgang A aufeinanderfolgend, aus einem, einen durchstimmbaren Oszillator O1 und einen Mischer M1 aufweisenden Abwärtsumsetzer U1, einem fest abgestimmten ersten Filter F1, einem Regelverstärker RV, einem digitalen Frequenzteiler FT, einem fest abgestimmten zweiten Filter F2, einem einen durchstimmbaren Oszillator O2 und einen Mischer M2 aufweisenden Aufwärtsumsetzer U2, einem Nachverstärker NV und einem abstimmbaren Filter F3.
Ein in der Outdoor Unit OU2 in den 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereich umgesetzter Kanal (z.B. Kanal "Italien" vom Transponder 1 des ECS1, Mittenfrequenz fm 11,007667 GHz / 1,007667 GHz) wird im Abwärtsumsetzer U1 in eine zweite Zwischenfrequenzlage (fm = 480 MHz, Hub = 25 MHz/V) umgesetzt. Im nachfolgenden ersten (Eingangs-) Filter F1 (480 MHz) wird dieser Kanal hochselektiv ausgefiltert und das Breitbandrauschen unter einen nicht störenden Wert gesenkt. Die Bandbreite entspricht dem Frequenzhub des genannten Kanals von 36 MHz. Der Regelverstärker RV stellt dem nachfolgenden Frequenzteiler FT den von diesem benötigten konstanten Eingangspegel zur Verfügung. Im Frequenzteiler FT wird die Frequenz des Kanals und damit auch dessen Frequenzhub durch den Faktor 2 geteilt (fm = 240 MHz, Hub = 12,5 MHz/V), so daß die Bandbreite jetzt anstatt 36 MHz nur noch 18 MHz beträgt.
Dieses Signal wird in einem zweiten Filter F2 (240 MHz) von durch den digitalen Frequenzteiler FT erzeugten Oberwellen befreit und anschließend im Aufwärtsumsetzer U2 in einen freien Kanal des 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereiches (z.B. Kanal 3, fm =1,01584 GHz) umgesetzt. Das Ausgangssignal des Aufwärtsumsetzers U2 paßt durch die beschriebene Bandbreitenreduktion nunmehr in das DBS-Kanalraster des 1. Satelliten-Zwischenfrequenzbereichs, so daß dieser voll mit 40 Kanälen belegbar und damit auf einfache Weise optimal nutzbar ist. Im Nachverstärker NV wird das Signal noch auf einen für die Einspeisung in das Verteilnetz passenden Pegel angehoben; im nachfolgenden dritten (Ausgangs-) Filter F3 werden zudem noch störende Nebenaussendungen (Oszillatorfrequenz, Spiegelfrequenz und Mischprodukte) unterdrückt.Each converter unit UE1 to UE5 consists, in succession from input E to output A, of a down-converter U1 having a tunable oscillator O1 and a mixer M1, a permanently tuned first filter F1, a control amplifier RV, a digital frequency divider FT, and a permanently tuned second Filter F2, a step-up converter U2 having a tunable oscillator O2 and a mixer M2, a post-amplifier NV and a tunable filter F3.
A channel converted into the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range in the outdoor unit OU2 (eg channel "Italy" from
This signal is freed from harmonics generated by the digital frequency divider FT in a second filter F2 (240 MHz) and then converted in the up-converter U2 into a free channel of the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range (eg channel 3, f m = 1.01584 GHz) . Due to the described bandwidth reduction, the output signal of the up-converter U2 now fits into the DBS channel grid of the 1st satellite intermediate frequency range, so that it can be fully occupied with 40 channels and can therefore be optimally used in a simple manner. In the post-amplifier NV, the signal is raised to a level suitable for feeding into the distribution network; in the subsequent third (output) filter F3, interfering secondary emissions (oscillator frequency, image frequency and mixed products) are also suppressed.
