EN 300 473 V1.1.2 (1997-08)74SMATV distribution system conceptsA Satellite Master Antenna Television (SMATV) system is defined as a system which is intended for the distribution oftelevision and sound signals to households located in one or more adjacent buildings.These signals are received by a satellite receiving antenna and may be combined with terrestrial TV signals. SMATVdistribution systems are also known as community antenna installations or domestic TV cable networks.A SMATV system represents a means for sharing the same resources among several users for satellite and terrestrialreception.The SMATV System is designed to perform the adaptation of the satellite TV signals to the SMATV channelcharacteristics.The primary consideration of the SMATV System is the transparency of the SMATV head-end to the digital TVmultiplex from a satellite reception without baseband interfacing, delivering that signal to the user home IntegratedReceiver Decoder (IRD); thus permitting simple and cost effective head-end as required for the consumer profile ofSMATV equipment.The present document considers two main SMATV System approaches for distribution of digital TV signals in SMATVinstallations, as follows:SMATV System AThe System A approach consists of the transmodulation from satellite Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)signals as defined in EN 300 421 [2] to a Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) scheme (16-QAM, 32-QAMor 64-QAM) using either:a.1)a full implementation of the System described in EN 300 429 [1] (see subclause 5.1), ora.2)a simplified transmodulation process as described in subclause 5.2 of the present document.This process of transmodulation without baseband interfacing is also known as "Transparent Transmodulation".SMATV System BThe System B approach consists of direct distribution of QPSK satellite signals as defined in EN 300 421 [2]using frequency conversion of the received satellite signal to a frequency band appropriate to the characteristicsof the distribution network.The use of one of the System A or System B approaches depends on the technical performance and cost trade-offs ineach particular situation.NOTE:Digital terrestrial specification is not the subject of the present document.SIST EN 300 473 V1.1.2:2003

EN 300 473 V1.1.2 (1997-08)85SMATV System ASMATV System A is based on the use of the transmodulation from satellite QPSK signals to a QAM modulation scheme(see figure 1). This system is also known as SMATV-DTM.The System comprises the following elements:-Head-end transmodulation unit: this performs the required decoding and adapts the signal modulation codingto the cable distribution network. This unit is also known as the Transparent Digital Transmodulator (TDT).-SMATV UHF distribution network: this is a physical cable structure for distribution of the signal to severalusers. The reference channel response of SMATV distribution network is given in annex A.-User IRD: this unit performs the required equalization to compensate the channel distortion as well asdemodulating and decoding the QAM signal.5.1Full implementation of SMATV System AA full implementation of the QAM System shall be performed according to EN 300 429 [1] and EN 300 421 [2] with atransparent interface between them.To this end, the full implementation of SMATV System A shall make use of the MPEG-2 transport layer, the framingstructure, the channel coding, the byte-to-symbol mapping and modulation consistent with EN 300 429 [1] andEN 300 421 [2].The channel coding shall include the randomization for spectrum shaping, the Reed-Solomon (RS) coding and theconvolutional interleaving according to Forney [4]. This configuration is shown in figure 2.5.2Simplified implementation of SMATV System AIn the complete implementation architecture of SMATV System A, outer error protection (i.e. RS and convolutionalinterleaving) is performed twice, i.e. independently for the satellite link and the cable link. Therefore, the cable link isfed by a Quasi Error Free (QEF) bit stream.In cases when an adequate satellite link margin is achieved, one RS decoder-encoder and deinterleaving-interleavingprocess could be eliminated from the System. In such cases, a single RS decoder at the user IRD is capable of correctingerrors generated in the cable link added to the remaining burstly errors after Viterbi decoding.This configuration is shown in figure 2 when removing the dashed line blocks.NOTE:This simplified configuration may imply a non-negligible saving in terms of the number of gates and thusin the total equipment cost.Due to consumer type character of SMATV head-ends, this saving is important when an economy of scaleis achieved.Consequently, manufacturers could decide whether to adopt the simplified SMATV System Aarchitecture.SIST EN 300 473 V1.1.2:2003
