Sharp introduces a DVB-S2 tuner module to the European market. The two tuner modules (BS2F7VZ0164 and BS2F7VZ0165) are fully equipped Network-Integrated-Modules (NIM), integrating a complete HDTV RF front-end and a demodulator circuitry. With this two-in-one solution Sharp is offering tuner modules that combine a front-end for both, 8PSK and QPSK detection to receive HDTV and SDTV broadcast signals. The Integrated demodulator IC provides an 8-bit digital data-stream for further processing. The DVB-S2 tuners with demodulator (NIM) covers a typical frequency range of 950 to 2150 MHz for satellite TV transmission and is suitable for receiving both HDTV (DVB-S2) and SDTV (DVB-S) signals. There are two choices of demodulators from two cooperation partners: the Conexant CX24116 and the ST Microelectronics STB0899. These two options allow the system integrator and development engineer to be in position to develop a state of the art satellite receiver system for two different backend solutions. The DVB-S2 tuners are compliant with the RoHS guidelines. BS2F7VZ0164 and BS2F7VZ0165 DVB-S2 are already available.
