The commercial requirements for the development of a digital video broadcasting (DVB) system for terrestrial broadcasting
date back to early 1994.
The main objective at that time was to support the stationary reception of terrestrial signals by means of rooftop antennas.

Modulation & Mapping The process of mapping the information bits onto the signal
constellation plays a fundamental role in determining the
properties of the modulation.
An OFDM signal consists of a sum of sub-carriers, each ofwhich contains M-ary phase shift keyed (PSK) or quadrature
amplitude modulated (QAM) signals.

DVB-T System Parameters
-
29 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Two Mode Characteristic
A DVB-T channel have a bandwidth of 8,7 or 6MHz. There are two different operating modes : the 2k and 8k mode .
In DVB-T, It was decided to use symbols with a length of about 250 us (2k mode) or 1ms (8k mode).
The 2K mode has greater subcarrier spacing of about 4KHz but the symbol period is much shorter. Compared with the 8K
mode with a subcarrier spacing of about 1KHz.
-
30 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Two Mode Purpose
2k mode is much less susceptible to spreading in the frequency domain caused by Doppler effects due to mobile reception and
multiple echoes but much more susceptible to greater echo delay.
In single frequency networks, for example, the 8k mode will always be selected because of the greater transmitter spacing
possible.
-
31 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Modulation Select
Apart from the symbol length, which is a result of the use of 2k or 8k mode, the guard interval can also be adjusted within a range
of 1/4 to 1/32 of the symbol length.
It is possible to select the type of modulation (QPSK,16-QAM or 64-QAM).
The DVB-T transmission can be adapted to the respective requirement with regard to robustness or net data rates by
adjusting the code rate(1/2.7/8).
-
32 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Carriers Type
DVB-T contains the following types of carrier :
Payload carriers with fixed position. Inactive carriers with fixed position. Continual pilots with fixed position. Scattered pilots with changing position in the spectrum. TPS carriers with fixed position.
-
33 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Payload & Inactive Carriers
The meaning of the words 'payload carrier' is clear: these aresimply the carriers used for the actual data transmission.
The edge carriers at the upper and lower channel edge are set to zero, i.e. they are inactive and carry no modulation at all,
i.e. their amplitudes are zero.
-
34 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Continual Pilots
The continual pilots are located on the real axis, i.e. the I (in-phase) axis, either at 0 degrees or at 180 degrees and have a
defined amplitude.
The continual pilots are boosted by 3 dB compared with the average signal power and are used in the receiver as phase
reference and for automatic frequency control (AFC), i.e. for
locking the receive frequency to the transmit frequency.
-
35 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Scattered Pilots
Within each symbol, there is a scattered pilot every 12th carrier. Each scattered pilot jumps forward by three carrier positions
in the next symbol.
The scattered pilots are also on the I axis at 0 degrees and 180 degrees and have the same amplitude as the continual pilots.
-
36 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Carriers Position
-
37 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
TPS Carriers (1/2) The TPS carriers are located at fixed frequency positions. TPS stands for Transmission Parameter Signaling. These carriers
represent virtually a fast information channel via which the
transmitter informs the receiver about the current transmission
parameters.
-
38 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
TPS Carriers (2/2)
All the TPS carriers in one symbol carry the same information, i.e. they are all either at 0 degrees or all at 180 degrees on the I
axis.
The complete TPS information is broadcast over 68 symbols and comprises 68 bits.

TPS Purpose & Content
-
41 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
TPS Carry Information
Thus, the TPS carriers keep the receiver informed about:
The mode (2k, 8k). The length of the guard interval (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32). The type of modulation (QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM). The code rate (1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8). The use of hierarchical coding.

IFFT
In DVB-T, an IFFT with 2048 or 8192 points is used. In theory, 2048 or 8192 carriers would then be available for
the Data transmission. However, not all of these carriers are
used as Payload carriers.
In the 8k mode, there are 6048 payload carriers and in the 2k mode there are 1512.

Hierarchical Modulation
-
47 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
High Priority & Low Priority(1/2) If hierarchical modulation is used, the DVB-T modulator has two
Transport stream inputs and two FEC blocks.
One transport stream with a low data rate is fed into the so-calledHigh priority path (HP) and provided with a large amount of error
protection, e.g. by selecting the code rate 1/2.
A second transport stream with a higher data rate is supplied In parallel to the low priority (LP) and is provided with less error
protection, e.g. with the code rate 3/4
-
48 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
High Priority & Low Priority(2/2) In principle, both HP and LP transport streams can contain the
same programs but at different data rates, i.e. with different
amounts of compression.
On the high priority path, QPSK is used which is a particularlyrobust type of modulation.
On the low priority path, a higher level of modulation isneeded due to the higher data rate.
-
49 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Modulation Type
In DVB-T, the individual payload carriers are not modulated with different types of modulation.
Instead, each payload carrier transmits portions both of LP and of HP. The high priority path is transmitted as so-called
embedded QPSK in 16QAM or 64QAM.
-
50 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Constellation Diagram
Embedded QPSK in 64-QAM with Hierarchical Modulation
-
51 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Embedded QPSK in 64-QAM A 64-QAM modulation enables 6 bits per symbol to be
transmitted. However, since the quadrant information, as
QPSK, diverts 2 bits per symbol for the HP stream, only 4 bits
per symbol remain for the transmission of the LP stream.
The gross data rates for LP and HP thus have a fixed ratio of 4:2 to one another.
-
52 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Embedded QPSK in 16-QAM QPSK embedded in 16QAM is also possible. The ratio
between the gross data rates of LP and HP is then 2:2.
To make the QPSK of the high priority path more robust, i.e. less susceptible to interference, the constellation diagram can
be spread at the I axis and the Q axis.
A factor of 2 or 4 increases the distance between the individual quadrants of the 16QAM or 64QAM diagrams.
-
53 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Factor
is the minimum distance separating two constellation points carrying different HP-bit values divided by the minimum distance separating any two constellation points.
-
54 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
TPS Carriers
The information about the presence or absence of hierarchical modulation and the factor and the code rates for LP and HP
are transmitted in the TPS carriers.
This information is evaluated in the receiver which automatically adjusts its demapper accordingly.
-
55 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
DVB-T Modulator and Transmitter
-
56 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
DVB-T Modulator and Transmitter
A DVB-T modulator can have one or two transport stream inputs followed by forward error correction (FEC) and this
only depends on whether this modulator supports hierarchical
modulation or not.
If hierarchical modulation is used, both FEC stages are completely independent of one another but are completely
identical as far as their configuration is concerned.

58 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Synchronize InvertedIt uses for this the sync byte which has a constant value of
47HEX at intervals of 188 bytes. Every eighth sync byte is
then inverted and becomes B8HEX.
-
59 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Reed Solomon Encoder
Following this, initial error control is performed in the Reed
Solomon encoder. The TS packets are now expanded by 16
bytes error protection.
-
60 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Interleave & Convolutional
After this block coding, the data stream is interleaved in order to be able to break up error bursts during the deinterleaving at
the receiver end.
In the convolutional encoder, additional error protection is added which can be reduced again in the puncturing stage.
-
61 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Modulator Diagram
-
62 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Bit Interleaver
The error-controlled data of the HP and LP paths, or the data of the one TS path in the case of non-hierarchical modulation, then
pass into the demultiplexer where they are then divided into 2,4
or 6 outgoing data streams depending on the type of modulation
(2 paths for QPSK, 4 for 16QAM and 6 for 64QAM).
-
63 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Symbol Interleaver
In the symbol interleaver following, the blocks are then again mixed block by block and the error-controlled data stream is
distributed uniformly over the entire channel.
Together, this is then COFDM Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex.
-
64 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Mapper & Frame Adaptation
After that, all the payload carriers are then mapped depending on whether hierarchical or nonhierarchical modulation is used,
and on the factor a being = 1, 2 or 4.
This results in two tables, namely that for the real part Re(f) and that for the imaginary part Im(f). However, they also
contain gaps into which the pilots and the TPS earners are
then inserted by the frame adaptation block.
-
65 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
IFFT The complete tables, comprising 2048 and 8192 values,
respectively, are then fed into the heart of the DVB-T
modulator, the IFFT block.
After that, the OFDM signal is available separated into real and imaginary part in the time domain. The 2048 and 8192
values, respectively stored in buffers organized along
the lines of the pipeline principle.
-
66 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Guard Interval Insert (1/2) they are alternately written into one buffer whilst the other one
is being read out. During read-out, the end of the buffer is read
out first as a result of which the guard interval is formed.
-
67 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Guard Interval Insert (2/2)
The signal is either digital/analog converted separately for I and Q at the I/Q level and then supplied to an analog I/Q modulator
which allows direct mixing to RF in accordance with the
principle of direct modulation, a principle commonly used at
present.
-
68 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
FIR Filter The signal is then usually digitally filtered at the temporal I/Q
level (FIR filter) to provide for better attenuation of the shoulders.
At the same time it is clipped in order to limit the DVB-T signal with respect to its crest factor since otherwise the output stages
could be destroyed because of the very high crest factor of the
OFDM signal due to its very high and very low amplitudes.

DVB-T Receiver
-
71 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Tuner & SAW Filter The first module of the DVB-T receiver is the tuner. It is used
for converting the RF of the DVB-T channel down to IF.
The tuner is followed by the DVB-T channel at 36 MHz band center.
At intermediate frequency, the signal is band pass filtered to a bandwidth of 8, 7 or 6 MHz, using surface acoustic wave
(SAW) filters.
-
72 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Mixing & LPF
In the next step, the DVB-T signal is converted down to a lower, second IF at approx. 5 MHz. This is frequently an IF of
32/7 MHz = 4.571429MHz.
After this mixing stage, all signal components above half the sampling frequency are then suppressed with the aid of a low-
pass filter in order to avoid aliasing effects.
-
73 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
A/D Converter
This is followed by analog/digital conversion. The A/D converter is usually clocked at exactly four times the
second IF , i.e. at 4 * 32/7 = 18.285714 MHz.
Following the A/D converter, the data stream, which is now available with a data rate of about 20 Megawords/s , is
supplied to the time synchronization stage.
-
74 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Time Synchronization
In this stage , autocorrelation is used to derive synchronization information. Using autocorrelation , signal components are
detected which exist in the signal several times and in the
same way.
The autocorrelation function will supply an identification signal in the area of the guard intervals and in the area of the
symbols.
-
75 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Changeover Switch The autocorrelation function is then used to position the FFT
sampling window into the area of guard interval plus symbol
free of inter-symbol interference and this positioning control
signal is fed into the FFT processor in the DVB-T receiver.
In parallel with the time synchronization, the data stream coming from the A/D converter is split into two data streams
by a changeover switch. e.g., the odd-numbered samples pass
into the upper branch and the even-numbered ones pass into
the lower branch.
-
76 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
FIR & Delay However, these streams are offset from one another by half a
sampling clock cycle. To eliminate this offset, the intermediate
values are interpolated by means of an FIR filter.
The two data streams are then fed to a complex mixer which is supplied with carriers by a numerically controlled oscillator
(NCO).
-
77 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
AFC
This mixer and the NCO are then used for correcting the frequency of the DVB-T signal but because the oscillators
lack accuracy, the receiver must also be locked to the transmitted
frequency by means of automatic frequency control (AFC).
If the receiver frequency differs from the transmitted frequency, all the constellation diagrams will rotate more or less quickly
clockwise or anticlockwise.
-
78 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
NCO It is then only necessary to measure the position of the
continual pilots in the constellation diagram.
The phase difference is a direct controlled variable for the AFC, i.e. the NCO frequency is changed until the phase
difference becomes zero.
-
79 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
FFT
The FFT signal processing block, the sampling window of which is controlled by the time synchronization.
Since the FFT sampling window is not placed precisely over the actual symbol, there exists a phase shift in all OFDM
subcarriers, i.e. all constellation diagrams are twisted.
-
80 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Continual & Scattered Pilots
However, the DVB-T signal carries a large quantity of pilot signals which can be used as measuring signal for channel
estimation and channel correction in the receiver.
Measuring the amplitudes and phase distortion of the continual and scattered pilots enables the correction function for the
channel to be calculated, rotating the constellation diagrams
back to their nominal position.
-
81 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
TPS Signal (1/2)
In parallel with the channel correction, the TPS carriers are decoded in the uncorrected channel.
The transmission parameter signalling carriers do not require channel correction since they are differentially coded.
Each symbol contains a large number of TPS carriers andeach carrier carries the same information.
-
82 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
TPS Signal (2/2)
The TPS information is needed by the demapper following the channel correction, and also by the channel decoder.
The demapper is then correspondingly set to the correct type of modulation, i.e. the correct demapping table is loaded.
-
83 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Channel Decoder

84 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Deinterleaver & Puncture
The demapped data pass from the demapper into the symbol and bit deinterleaver where they are resorted and fed into the
Viterbi decoder.
At the locations where bits have been punctured, dummy bits are inserted again.
-
85 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
RS Decoder & Energy Dispersal The Reed Solomon decoder corrects up to 8 bit errors per
packet with the aid of the 16 error control bytes.
If there are more than 8 errors per packet, the 'transport error indicator' is set to one and then this transport stream packet cannot
be processed further in the MPEG-2 decoder and error masking
must be carried out. As well, the energy dispersal must then be
undone.
-
86 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Synchronize Inverter Remove
This stage is synchronized by the inverted sync bytes and this sync byte inversion must also be undone, after which the
MPEG-2 transport stream is available again.
These are followed by a DVB-T demodulator chip which contains all modules of the DVB demodulator after the A/D
converter.
-
87 Wireless Comm. Lab.Wireless Comm. Lab.
Set-Top BoxThe transport stream coming out of the DVB-T demodulator is
fed into the MPEG-2 decoder where it is decoded back into
video and audio.
All these modules are controlled by a microprocessor via an I2C bus.
