You've made it perfectly clear now. > It is the mother of all calculations, for any Digital communication device (Nyquist Sampling Rate) Calculations generally are derived off this. The "2 * " is generally used in the case of the complete spectral width, ie, you can assume that case to be valid with a ZIF tuner and not otherwise. Generally it is classified that the bandwidth of a ZIF tuner is twice that of a normal tuner. > Using this formula, what is the allowed range for a tda10046 demod with a > TDA827X tuner? How about with a TDA827XA tuner? I don't have the 827x specs (but i will explain what i can, time being short as well) Generally, there is a case of confusion when the tda10046 is used: * the difference being an optional down-converter. ie, there will be 2 cases "basically" * Fsmax = 6/5 * IF1 (Up sampling: 36.15/36.125MHz) * Fsmax = 4/5 * IF1 (Down sampling: 43.75/57MHz) Additionally, specifically for the TDA10046, it reduces to Fsamp = 55 Mhz as an *absolute* maximum (whatever configuration it might be). But then this might not be at the Nyquist rate also, in some cases then. With the builtin PLL for the ADC clock, Fsamp = (M / N * P) * Fquartz where: M = Clock Multiplier N = a Clock divider ratio P = a Clock divider ratio With default M, N, P values with a default quartz crystal of 4MHz (according to the specifications, it can go upto 27MHz), the default sampling frequency becomes 55 Mhz So as you see in the case of the high IF values, the tda10046 cannot do Nyquist sampling at the extreme end, but generally this limitation is not applicable in most cases. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
