Nicam 728 B/G/H/K1/L and I Digital Audio transmission including analog mono FM carrier

One of our recent developments is a full featured NICAM encoder for the transmission of two-channel digital sound according to EN 300 163.
This design fits in a single FPGA and fully complies with EN 300 163. Output carrier level is adjustable over more than 15 dB range. Due to the application of low cost digital signal processing techniques this design has been unbeatable for a long time.
 

Applications:
• Digital Terrestrial transmission of stereo audio channels
• CATV Nicam sound distribution systems

Standard Features:
• Output frequency 5.85 and 6.552 MHz
• Analog mono FM carrier (5.5 or 6.5 MHz) for fallback
• Adjustable RF output amplitude range over > 15 dB
• J17 digital preëmphasis
• Compact Design
