Highly integrated low power CMMB solution and typical applications

China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting TV (CMMB) standard is a mobile multimedia standard developed and developed by China itself with complete intellectual property rights. Compared with other foreign mobile TV technologies, CMMB's multiple technologies are at the international advanced level. Compared with traditional broadcasting, CMMB's main features are: (1) providing all-digital TV/digital broadcasting programs, integrated information and emergency broadcasting services, and achieving seamless coverage of the integration of satellite transmission and terrestrial network. (2) The slot-based frame structure is adopted, which greatly improves the use time of the receiving terminal. (3) Adopt OFDM modulation technology, LDPC/Reed-Solomon coding and deep interleaving technology, which greatly improves the high-quality mobile reception performance in complex wireless environments. At present, CMMB has reached a stable reception of broadcast television signals at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour. (4) Adopt unified technical standards and unified operations to support users nationwide roaming. CMMB provides some public welfare free radio and television programs, as well as a cryptographic authorization control management system to provide paid services.

Main features of CMMB receiver solution

A basic CMMB receiving terminal consists of four main components: a radio frequency tuner, a baseband demodulator, a multimedia processor, and a display and speaker for the final output signal. The main application areas include: mobile phones, portable TVs, handheld navigation devices, PDAs, MP4s, laptops and other small-screen portable handheld terminals, as well as mobile information terminals on automobiles, trains, ships and airplanes.

In response to market demand, Quantum Microelectronics has introduced a highly integrated CMMB receiver solution that includes a complete CMMB RF tuner and baseband demodulator. The internal functional block diagram is shown in Figure 2. The main features of the program are as follows.

How each module works

RF signal processing: VHF, UHF, and satellite live bands for CMMB, with corresponding low noise amplifier (LNA) and RF adjustable gain amplifier (mixer: mixer with zero IF single-stage conversion architecture, no need External SAW filter.

Baseband signal processing: Includes an image-constrained low-pass filter with adjustable bandwidth, baseband signal PGA.

Single-chip integration: Integrated low-noise VCO and fractional PLL reduce in-band phase noise.

ADC: A high-performance 10-bit ADC is built in to directly sample the input I/Q differential differential baseband analog signals.

AGC control: There are two AGC controls for RF PGA and analog baseband signal PGA. The AGC loop generates the AGC output by the magnitude between the sampled signal and the reference value.

Frequency Tracking/Frequency Correction: This module completes the frequency tracking of the signal, frequency offset correction, and sample rate conversion.

FFT: The FFT module performs a fast Fourier transform to change the OFDM modulated time domain signal to the frequency domain for demodulation.

Beacon processing: The module performs synchronization and estimation of channel parameters.

OFDM symbol processing: This module performs processing of OFDM symbols. Including symbol descrambling, channel estimation and equalization, transmission indication information demodulation, and the like. The transmission indication information is used to indicate current time slot information, and to indicate a broadcast channel physical layer configuration parameter change. The frequency domain signal that completes the descrambling and equalization is sent to the next module for demodulation.

Demapping and FEC decoding: This module completes the constellation diagram mapping of BPSK/QPSK/16QAM. The output after demapping is sent to the decoder decoding of the LDPC and the RS. First, the LDPC decoder performs decoding of the LDPC codeword and fills the load data into the byte interleaver of the RS. Then, the RS decoder completes the decoding of the RS.

MFS code stream extraction: According to the selection of the external multimedia processor, one control channel and up to four traffic channels can be simultaneously received. The data stream is output as an MFS code stream. Output interfaces include: SPI and general purpose interface SDIO. Can support up to 100Mbps instantaneous data rate.

Peripheral interface: There are two I2C interfaces. One interface acts as an I2C slave to accept control and setup of the demodulator from the external multimedia processor; the other interface acts as an I2C master to control the tuner.

Embedded MCU: A high-performance MCU is embedded to control all internal modules and related signal quality acquisition and processing.

typical application

The Quantum CMMB receiving solution has a highly integrated and flexible universal interface. A complete CMMB receiving system can be constructed with the addition of a universal multimedia processor, user interface and a small number of external components. In the first generation CMMB solution, the tuner, demodulator and multimedia processor were separated. As technology advances, solutions with higher levels of integration are beginning to emerge.

In mobile applications, some mobile platforms have begun to integrate powerful multimedia processing capabilities. Quantum's CMMB SiP solution and such a platform can be seamlessly connected. RF and baseband signal processing is provided by Quantum's RF tuner and baseband demodulator, and the CMMB's multimedia information is processed by the mobile platform. Another trend is that some mobile platforms are beginning to integrate baseband processors. The Quantum single-chip CMMB RF tuner provides an integrated RF processing capability that is ideal for such a platform.
