Abstract
A VSB modulator receives a stream of data at a 10.76 MHz constant symbol rate and converts it to a 6 MHz bandwidth signal centered at 44.0 MHz. The incoming data is interpolated by three to generate three data images and a digital filter selects the image embracing the range of 5.38 to 10.76 MHz. A sine X/X correction is added to compensate for the loss experienced in the D/A converter. The signal for the D/A converter is filtered and mixed with a 35.93 MHz oscillator output to produce data about the 44.0 MHz IF frequency. A SAW filter rejects all but the desired data.
