DVB-T2 field trials results for portable indoor reception using T2-Lite and multiple PLP

Abstract-This paper provides a review of the second generation of Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting standard DVB-T2. DVB-T2 is the evolution of DVB-T and, together with DVB-S2 and DVB-C2, inaugurated a new transition from the first generation digital broadcasting systems, similar to the transition from analog to digital systems. In the paper the most relevant features of DVB-T2 are explained in detail, along with their benefits and trade-offs.The paper also presents a comprehensive review of the laboratory and field trial results available so far. Especial emphasis is placed in the results of the measurements carried out to test the mobile reception and the novel technologies as Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) and Time Frequency Slicing (TFS).

“…In the case of DTTB, the DVB project developed a second generation digital terrestrial television named DVB-T2 standard [1], first standardized in September 2009. Although DVB-T2 primarily targets outdoor fixed reception (rooftop antennas), its reception is also feasible in portable or mobile indoor and outdoor environments [2]- [4], due to the large amount of possible configurations in comparison with its predecessor DVB-T.…”

This paper presents the field trials carried out in Bilbao (Spain) for testing and analyzing the performance of the DVB-T2 indoor (fixed and pedestrian) reception. Test services with different DVB-T2 and T2-Lite configuration modes have been broadcasted and indoor measurements have been carried out. As a result, signal to noise ratio threshold values for DVB-T2 indoor reception have been obtained. These values update those provided by previous studies and are also valid for planning tools to be used by broadcasters in the development of DVB-T2 networks.

The European Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) project started in 1993 as an industry forum providing the specifications for digital broadcast. Afterwards, the first Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) system, DVB‐Terrestrial (DVB‐T), was standardized in 1997, and one year later, the first DVB‐T broadcast began in Sweden and the UK. In September 2009, ETSI published the first version of the second generation standard (DVB‐T2), where the data‐carrying capacity of a single Radio Frequency (RF) broadcast channel was notably increased. Specifically, a minimum capacity increase of 30% was achieved as well as improved SFN performances, a mechanism to reduce the peak‐to‐average‐power ratio (PAPR), sand a flexible frame structure for Physical Layer Pipes (PLPs). This article starts with a system overview of the DVB‐T2 standard, and then, the general architecture of the DVB‐T2 transceiver is comprehensively described module by module. This work also gathers a comprehensive review of the available implementation and evaluation results of the standard.
