Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Joint Technical Committee
(JTC) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Comité Européen de Normalisation ELECtrotechnique
(CENELEC) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
NOTE: The EBU/ETSI JTC was established in 1990 to co-ordinate the drafting of ETSs in the
specific field of broadcasting and related fields. Since 1995 the JTC became a tripartite
body by including in the Memorandum of Understanding also CENELEC, which is
responsible for the standardization of radio and television receivers. The EBU is a
professional association of broadcasting organizations whose work includes the co-
ordination of its Members' activities in the technical, legal, programme-making and
programme-exchange domains. The EBU has Active Members in about 60 countries
in the European Broadcasting Area; its headquarters is in Geneva *.

Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project
Founded in September 1993, the DVB Project is a market-led consortium of public and private sector
organizations in the television industry. Its aim is to establish the framework for the introduction of
MPEG-2 based digital television services. Now comprising over 200 organizations from more than 25
countries around the world, DVB fosters market-led systems, which meet the real needs, and economic
circumstances, of the consumer electronics and the broadcast industry.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) describes the modulation and channel coding system
(denoted the "System" for the purposes of this ETS) for the distribution of digital multi-programme Television
(TV) / High Definition Television (HDTV) by Multipoint Video Distribution Systems (MVDS) in the 40 GHz
band. The System described in this ETS is based on that described in ETS 300 421 for 11/12 GHz satellite
services. It allows the same consumer Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) to be used for either service, when
used with a Low Noise Block (LNB) down-converter for the appropriate frequency band.
The frequency band 40,5 to 42,5 GHz has been harmonized within the European Conference of Post and
Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) under Recommendation T/R 52-01. The System however, is
applicable to other frequency bands above 10 GHz.
The System uses Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation and concatenated error protection
strategy based on a convolutional code and shortened Reed-Solomon (RS) code.
The System is suitable for use on different MVDS transmitter bandwidths.
Compatibility with Moving Pictures Experts Group - 2 (MPEG-2) coded TV services (see
ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1]), with a transmission structure synchronous with the packet multiplex, is provided.
Exploitation of the multiplex flexibility allows the use of the transmission capacity for a variety of TV service
configurations, including sound and data services. All service components are Time Division Multiplexed
(TDM) on a single digital carrier.
This ETS:
- gives a general description of the System for MVDS digital TV transmission;
- specifies the digitally modulated signal in order to allow compatibility between pieces of equipment
developed by different manufacturers. This is achieved by describing in detail the signal processing
principles at the modulator side, while the processing at the receive side is left open to different
implementation solutions. However, it is necessary in this ETS to refer to certain aspects of
reception;
- identifies the global performance requirements and features of the System, in order to meet the
service quality targets.

4.1 System definition
The System is defined as the functional block of equipment performing the adaptation of the baseband TV
signals from the output of the MPEG-2 transport multiplexer (see ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1]), to the MVDS channel
characteristics. The following processes shall be applied to the data stream (see figure 1):
- transport multiplex adaptation and randomization for energy dispersal;
- outer coding (i.e. Reed-Solomon);
- convolutional interleaving;
- inner coding (i.e. punctured convolutional code);
- baseband shaping for modulation;
- modulation.
The System functional description is given in annex B.
MVDS services at millimetric frequency bands are particularly affected by power limitations, therefore
ruggedness against noise and interference shall be the main design objective, rather than spectrum
efficiency. To achieve a very high power efficiency without excessively penalizing the spectrum efficiency, the
System shall use QPSK modulation and the concatenation of convolutional and RS codes. The convolutional
code is able to be configured flexibly, allowing the optimization of the system performance for a given MVDS
transmitter bandwidth (see annex C).
The system is suitable for single carrier per MVDS transmitter Time Division Multiplex (TDM) type
applications. It can also be used for multi-carrier Frequency Division Multiplex (FDM) type applications.

The System is directly compatible with MPEG-2 coded TV signals (see ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1]). The modem
transmission frame is synchronous with the MPEG-2 multiplex transport packets.
If the received signal is above C/N and C/I threshold, the Forward Error Correction (FEC) technique
adopted in the System is designed to provide a Quasi Error Free (QEF) quality target. The QEF means
less than one uncorrected error-event per transmission hour, corresponding to Bit Error Ratio
-10 -11
(BER) = 10 to 10 at the input of the MPEG-2 demultiplexer.
4.2 Adaptation to MVDS transmitter characteristics
MVDS transmitters of digital multi-programme TV services will use channels within band plans set according
to individual countries' planning and regulatory criteria and are required to provide compatibility with existing
digital cable and satellite services. The MVDS transmitter performance specification and, in particular, its
operating bandwidth will determine the data rates available to the service.
The symbol rate shall be matched to given MVDS transmitter characteristics. Examples based on computer
simulations for a hypothetical MVDS chain, not including interference effects, are given in annex C.
4.3 Interfacing
The System, as defined in this ETS, shall be delimited by the following interfaces given in table 1:

Output 70/140 MHz IF to RF devices
Receive installation Output MPEG-2 transport to MPEG-2

Input TBD from RF devices

4.4 Channel coding
4.4.1 Transport multiplex adaptation and randomization for energy dispersal
The System input stream shall be organized in fixed length packets (see figure 3), following the MPEG-2
transport multiplexer (see ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1]). The total packet length of the MPEG-2 transport Multiplex
(MUX) packet is 188 bytes. This includes 1 sync-word byte (i.e. 47 ). The processing order at the
HEX
transmitting side shall always start from the MSB (i.e. "0") of the sync word-byte (i.e. 01000111).
In order to comply with ITU Radio Regulations and to ensure adequate binary transitions, the data of the
input MPEG-2 multiplex shall be randomized in accordance with the configuration depicted in figure 2.
The polynomial for the Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) generator shall be:
14 15
1 + X + X .
Loading of the sequence "100101010000000" into the PRBS registers, as indicated in figure 2, shall be
initiated at the start of every eight transport packets. To provide an initialization signal for the descrambler,
the MPEG-2 sync byte of the first transport packet in a group of eight packets is bit-wise inverted from
47 to B8 . This process is referred to as the "Transport Multiplex Adaptation".
HEX HEX
The first bit at the output of the PRBS generator shall be applied to the first bit (i.e. MSB) of the first byte
following the inverted MPEG-2 sync byte (i.e. B8 ). To aid other synchronization functions, during the
HEX
MPEG-2 sync bytes of the subsequent 7 transport packets, the PRBS generation shall continue, but its
output shall be disabled, leaving these bytes unrandomized. Thus, the period of the PRBS sequence shall
be 1 503 bytes.
