Abstract: This reference design is a commercial Half-NIM DVB-S tuner that uses Maxim's MAX2120 satellite tuner IC. The reference design connects to the motherboard through a 12-pin connector. The downconverted satellite signal from the LNB is supplied to an active, discrete loop-through, which splits the signal into two paths. One signal goes to the MAX2120 and the other provides an additional output from the STB.

Figure 4. When noise is added, the DVB-S sensitivity is better than -85dBm for 4.42Msps, and better than -77.5dBm for 27.5Msps across the band. For this case, AWGN noise is added with C/N = 5dB. For the 4.42Msps data rate, the noise bandwidth is 5.7MHz; for the 27.5Msps data rate, the noise bandwidth is 35.2MHz.

Detailed Description

This MAX2120 reference design is a compact Half-NIM DVB-S tuner for satellite STB applications. The design covers the RF range from 925MHz to 2175MHz. The MAX2120 is a fully integrated silicon tuner, which includes a LNA, RF and IF VGAs, a mixer, and a variable-bandwidth LPF in the baseband stage. The tuner is powered by a single 3.3V supply. A small number of passive components are needed to form a complete DVB-S RF front-end solution.
