Abstract:
1. A method for processing data generated in compliance with a Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) standard, for satellite communication, comprising: (1) receiving DOCSIS-compliant data encoded with a Reed-Solomon encoding scheme; (2) turbo-encoding the DOCSIS-compliant data using an integrated circuit having a turbo encoder circuit; (3) generating baseband-frequency in-phase and quadrature-phase components of the turbo-encoded DOCSIS-compliant data; (4) interpolating the baseband-frequency in-phase and quadrature-phase components to a common sample rate that is higher than a plurality of DOCSIS-compliant bandwidth sample rates; (5) digitally pre-compensating the common sample rate baseband-frequency in-phase and quadrature-phase components for impairments encountered in one or more subsequent processes; (6) converting digitally pre-compensated common sample rate baseband-frequency in-phase and quadrature-phase components to one or more analog signals; and (7) up-converting the one or more analog signals to a satellite frequency signal.
