QPSK/BPSK DIGITAL DEMODULATOR

The MC92303 is a coherent digital demodulator for QPSK and BPSK modulated signals utilized in Digital-TV applications according to the EBU defined DVB transmission standard for satellite Set-Top systems or similar. The MC92303 contains all the functionality required to lock onto signals with frequency offsets as large as the baud rate and extract the desired signal from a frequency band with adjacent channel interference and other undesirable signals.
