Development of a Module for Retransmission and Monitoring of DVB-S/S2 Signals over IP Network

This paper presents the development of a module for reception and retransmission of digital satellite (DVB-S/S2) signals over an IP network. The module is based on the SoC platform Raspberry Pi. With properly used hardware capture and analysing software, the module is capable of real time monitoring and assessing the parameters of the received satellite signals. The proposed solution is flexible, innovative and convenient to use at the head-end station sites due to its easy installation and maintenance, low cost, small size and low consumption.
