Overview

The Satellite Modem IP Core is a high-performance solution for reliable, high-throughput communication in defense, aerospace, maritime, and remote industrial sectors. Fully synthesizable and optimized for FPGA/ASIC platforms, it supports advanced modulation schemes, error correction, synchronization, and adaptive link features.

Ideal for LEO/MEO/GEO satellite links, VSAT terminals, and SATCOM-on-the-move, it ensures low-latency, efficient, and robust connectivity where traditional networks fall short.

  • Support for Multiple Standards: Compatible with DVB-S2/S2X, CCSDS, MIL-STD, and custom proprietary standards.
  • High Data Rate Transmission: Supports data rates from a few Kbps up to multi-Gbps, suitable for real-time video, telemetry, and data streaming.
  • Advanced Modulation Schemes: Supports QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK, 32APSK, BPSK, and custom constellations.
  • FEC and Channel Coding: Integrated LDPC, Turbo, and Reed-Solomon decoders for robust performance in noisy satellite channels.
  • Adaptive Coding & Modulation (ACM): Dynamically adjusts transmission parameters based on real-time link conditions.
  • Carrier & Symbol Synchronization: Highly accurate frequency, timing, and phase recovery modules for resilient links.
  • Optional Encryption Support: Built-in AES-256 and user-defined crypto block support for secure communications.
  • Modular and Parameterized: Flexible design for easy customization based on mission and throughput needs.
  • End-to-End Satellite Link Processing: Includes modulator, demodulator, FEC, framing, interleaving, and synchronization blocks.
