Abstract: Burst demodulation at low Signal to Noise Ratio represents a key issue, especially for satellite return link MF-TDMA access. Besides inherent coding performances, modem implementation losses and reference symbol overhead have to be minimized for a system efficiency objective. This paper presents a new demodulation algorithm, called Test Frequency, and its implementation in a modem prototype called “TurboCode Mock-Up”. The measured performances of this modem applied to a DVB-RCS (Digital Video Broadcasting – Return Channel by Satellite) transmission scheme are presented for realistic channel conditions. The reference symbol dimensioning and positioning are discussed, and recommendations for DVB-RCS standard evolutions are proposed.
