When are Pilots Used in DVB-S2?
In general it is advised to use pilots(especially in the following cases).
• When a noticeable amount of phase noise is present (for example LNBs with "bad" phase noise);
• At low data rates ;
• When distortion is present on the signal, for example due to non-linearity.
12.1.16.4 Physical Layer Scrambling
Physical layer scrambling is performed on each physical layer frame (excluding the Physical layer
header) to perform energy dispersal of the modulated signal.
For more information on Physical Layer Scrambling, refer to the DVB-S2 standard:
