In the case of QPSK frontends the ``frequency`` field specifies the
intermediate frequency, i.e. the offset which is effectively added to
the local oscillator frequency (LOF) of the LNB. The intermediate
frequency has to be specified in units of kHz. For QAM and OFDM
frontends the ``frequency`` specifies the absolute frequency and is
given in Hz.

QPSK parameters
===============
For satellite QPSK frontends you have to use the ``dvb_qpsk_parameters``
structure:
.. code-block:: c
struct dvb_qpsk_parameters {
uint32_t symbol_rate; /* symbol rate in Symbols per second */
fe_code_rate_t fec_inner; /* forward error correction (see above) */
};
.. c:type:: dvb_qam_parameters
QAM parameters
==============
for cable QAM frontend you use the ``dvb_qam_parameters`` structure:
.. code-block:: c
struct dvb_qam_parameters {
uint32_t symbol_rate; /* symbol rate in Symbols per second */
fe_code_rate_t fec_inner; /* forward error correction (see above) */
fe_modulation_t modulation; /* modulation type (see above) */
};
.. c:type:: dvb_vsb_parameters
VSB parameters
==============
ATSC frontends are supported by the ``dvb_vsb_parameters`` structure:
.. code-block:: c
struct dvb_vsb_parameters {
fe_modulation_t modulation; /* modulation type (see above) */
};
.. c:type:: dvb_ofdm_parameters
Annotation
- Detected declarations: `struct dvb_frontend_parameters`, `struct dvb_qpsk_parameters`, `struct dvb_qam_parameters`, `struct dvb_vsb_parameters`, `struct dvb_ofdm_parameters`.
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
