DigitalTune™
DigitalTune™ is Elonics unique approach to silicon tuner design. Unlike traditional tuner architectures that use analogue control voltages to manage the signal path, Elonics has invented a unique signal processing scheme that dynamically optimises the signal path for maximum performance at all times.
DigitalTune™ consists of high performance RF building blocks.
-
Tuneable RF Front-End Filter with integrated wide-band RF Noise-cancelling LNA
-
High Linearity LNA with integrated loop-through
-
Cascoded Stacked-Mixer
-
High Order dual mode ZIF/LIF Channel Filtering and DC Offset Correction
-
Low Phase noise self-calibrating Fractional-N Synthesiser

These high performance elements are then optimised with Digital Signal Processing.
-
All processing is fully autonomous and therefore transparent to the digital demodulator
-
The four key building blocks are configurable with embedded simple sensors and digital signal processing algorithms for real-life optimisation

Using digital signal processing algorithms, DigitalTune™ has a number of distinct benefits.
-
Flexible Re-Configuration: Each part of the RF signal path is optimally configured for the specific requirements of the broadcast transmission
-
Intelligent Parametric Control of all Signal Processing Blocks: The tuner dynamically adjusts the signal path in real time to cope with real world TV channel conditions
-
Autonomous System Operation: No user intervention is required to ensure RF performance is optimised at all times
-
Technology increasing flexibility: Multi-standard Operation, Fabrication Process Robustness and System Level Customisation
