PUNJABI HITS, TABBAR HITS channels have left DD Free Satellite G Sat 15/ 17 at 93.5°E (Ku Band)

The above two channels have been closed from the DD Free Dish platform. Both the channels were channels of the same broadcast. In fact, for many days, both the channels were presenting the same type of content. The logos of both the channels were appearing again and again on both the channels together. So it seemed that something or the other was going to change, just like many music TV channels have been closed in India before. So it seems that due to financial reasons, this channel has also been closed from the DD Free Dish platform. In fact, the difference is that the Punjabi Hits channel has been closed by the broadcast itself. And Punjabi and Hindi films are currently running on the Tabbar Hits channel. Now only this Tabbar Hits channel is running on the slots of both the channels. It may be that they have not paid their Eauction Carrier Fees installments to the DD Free Dish. That is why these two channels have been closed by Dish Free Dish (Prasar Bharti).

Symbol Rate In DVB Satellite TV Broadcasting

Symbol Rate In DVB Satellite TV Broadcasting

In Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), the Symbol Rate (often called Baud Rate) is the number of symbol changes (waveform states) transmitted per second, measured in Baud (Bd) or Symbols per second (Sps). It determines how much bandwidth a signal occupies. 

General Calculation Formula 

The relationship between the Symbol Rate (R
s) and the Transport Stream Bitrate (Rb) is governed by the modulation efficiency and error correction overhead: 

Rs = Transport Stream Bitrate / Bits Per Symbol * Code Rate

Bits per Symbol: 

Depends on the constellation (e.g., QPSK = 2, 8PSK = 3, 64QAM = 6).

Code Rate: 

The FEC (Forward Error Correction) fraction (e.g., 3/4, 5/6).

Packet Overhead: 

For DVB-S/C, a factor of 204/188 is often included to account for Reed-Solomon encoding. 

Standard-Specific Symbol Rates

Typical symbol rates vary by transmission medium and standard. 

DVB-S (Satellite): 

Standard rates are often 27.5 MSps or 22 MSps. The physical symbol rate typically ranges from 1 to 45 MSps to fit standard 36 MHz satellite transponders.

DVB-S2/S2X: 

Supports higher rates up to 100 MSps. In "Wideband" mode, it can support transponders up to 500 MHz.

DVB-C (Cable): 

Commonly uses 6.875 MSps or 6.900 MSps to fit within an 8 MHz channel bandwidth while using 64QAM or 256QAM modulation.

DVB-T/T2 (Terrestrial): 

Uses multi-carrier OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). Instead of a single symbol rate, it uses thousands of sub-carriers (e.g., 8k or 32k mode). The total "equivalent" symbol rate is approximately 6.4 to 7.6 MSps for an 8 MHz channel. 

Relationship to Bandwidth 

The Occupied Bandwidth (BW) of a DVB signal is directly proportional to its symbol rate and the Roll-off Factor ( ɑ ) 

BW=Rs *  (1+ ɑ)

DVB-S: Roll-off is fixed at 0.35.

DVB-S2/S2X: Introduces smaller roll-off factors (0.20, 0.25, 0.05) to pack more symbols into the same bandwidth.

Example: A 27.5 MSps signal with a 0.35 roll-off occupies 27.5 * 1.35 = 37.1 Mhz.

C/N Ratio Or CN Lock (Carrier-to-Noise Lock) In DVB Satellite TV Broadcasting

C/N Ratio Or CN Lock (Carrier-to-Noise Lock) In DVB Satellite TV Broadcasting

In Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), specifically the DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X standards, these terms refer to critical physical layer parameters used to establish and optimize a satellite link. 

CN Lock (Carrier-to-Noise Lock) 

Cn lock (Carrier Lock): This refers to the receiver successfully achieving and maintaining synchronization with the frequency and phase of the incoming carrier signal from the transmitter.

Achieving "lock" is a critical initial step in the signal acquisition process, enabling the receiver to correctly demodulate the data stream.

The process often involves the receiver trying different parameters (like code rates) until a lock is acquired and the MPEG-2 sync byte can be correctly identified and decoded. The presence and stability of pilots significantly aid in achieving and maintaining a stable "Cn lock". 

Definition: "CN Lock" (or simply "Lock") refers to the state where the receiver's demodulator has successfully synchronized with the incoming satellite signal.

Function: It indicates that the receiver can reliably distinguish the signal from the background noise. Achieving lock is the first step before the receiver can decode the transport stream or data packets.

Carrier-to-Noise Ratio (C/N or CNR) quantifies the quality of a received signal by comparing the carrier signal power to the noise power in a communication system. It is typically expressed in decibels (dB) and is a fundamental parameter in analog systems and a supporting metric in digital communication link design.

Definition and Mathematical Expression

C/N is defined as the ratio between carrier power (P_carrier) and noise power (P_noise).

C/N = P_carrier / P_noise

Expressed in decibels:

Carrier-to-Noise Ratio (C/N or CNR) quantifies the quality of a received signal by comparing the carrier signal power to the noise power in a communication system. It is typically expressed in decibels (dB) and is a fundamental parameter in analog systems and a supporting metric in digital communication link design.

Definition and Mathematical Expression

C/N is defined as the ratio between carrier power (P_carrier) and noise power (P_noise).

C/N = P_carrier / P_noise

Expressed in decibels:

C/N (dB) = 10 × log₁₀(P_carrier / P_noise)

This logarithmic form is commonly used in system specifications and performance assessments.

This logarithmic form is commonly used in system specifications and performance assessments.

Relationship to Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

In bandwidth-limited systems, C/N relates to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which considers both the signal bandwidth (B_s) and the noise bandwidth (B_n):

SNR = C/N × (B_n / B_s)

This relationship helps engineers convert measured carrier power levels into meaningful performance metrics for digital signal processing and demodulation.

Pilot Term In DVB Satellite TV Broadcasting

Pilot Term In DVB Satellite TV Broadcasting

Pilot: 

"Pilots" are all technical terms related to the physical layer (PHY) operation and signal acquisition in Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standards, particularly DVB-S2 and its extension DVB-S2X. Here is an explanation of each term within the DVB context:

Pilot: 

Pilots are known, pre-defined symbols or sequences inserted periodically into the transmitted data stream at the physical layer. They are crucial for the receiver to perform essential synchronization and channel estimation functions:

Carrier Phase Recovery: Pilots help the receiver resolve phase ambiguities in the demodulator.

Frequency Estimation: They allow the receiver to estimate and correct frequency errors (coarse frequency estimation).

Channel Tracking: The receiver uses pilot signals to track fast changes in the channel conditions (e.g., phase noise) and ensure robust operation.

Roll-off Or Roll-Off factor Factor In DVB Satellite TV Broadcasting

Roll-off: 

Roll-off: This refers to the roll-off factor (α) of the pulse-shaping filter used in the transmitter. It defines the excess bandwidth beyond the minimum required Nyquist bandwidth. In DVB systems:

• A lower roll-off factor means higher spectral efficiency, allowing more data to be transmitted in a given bandwidth.
• DVB-S2 offers a selection of factors (0.35, 0.25, 0.20), a change from the fixed 0.35 in DVB-S.
• DVB-S2X introduced even lower roll-off factors (e.1.g., 0.05) to further improve efficiency.
