Analysis and Estimation of the Field Strength of Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting

Abstract

DVB-T is the most widely used standard for digital television broadcast. With its introduction in 1997, it is used in more than 70 countries. Almost all of these countries adopted the new standard for digital terrestrial television broadcasting – DVB-T2. DVB-T2 is the best technology for digital television broadcasting, which offers better signal robustness, flexibility and more than 50% more efficiency, compared with other digital terrestrial television broadcast systems. This paper focuses on ways to deliver MPEG TS to transmitters and estimation of the field strength.
