The company's expertise is primarily in the gate- and power-efficient implementation of physical-layer (PHY) functions such as modulation, demodulation, and channel coding. Commsonic has extensive experience with all major elements of a modern "baseband core," including medium access control (MAC), voiceband DSP, mixed-signal/radio interfaces, and embedded CPU/software. Commsonic’s design and engineering services are available on a turnkey basis, but they are more often provided as part of a support package attached to cores from the company’s family of modem intellectual property (IP). Commsonic’s FPGA IP spans the latest international standards for cable, satellite, and terrestrial digital TV, and includes high-performance, adaptable, single-carrier (QAM) and multi-carrier (COFDM) modulator and demodulator solutions for DVB-S2, DVB-C/J.83, and DVB-T/H.
