Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Frame structure channel coding and modulation for a second generation digital terrestrial television broadcasting system (DVB-T2)

Digitalna videoradiodifuzija (DVB) - Struktura okvirov, kodiranje kanalov in modulacija za drugo generacijo sistema digitalne prizemne televizijske radiodifuzije (DVB-T2)

Ta dokument opisuje drugo generacijo osnovnega prenosnega sistema za digitalno prizemno televizijsko radiodifuzijo. Določa sistem za kodiranje/modulacijo kanalov, namenjen za storitve digitalne televizije in splošnih podatkovnih tokov.
Obseg je naslednji:
• podaja splošen opis osnovnega sistema za digitalno prizemno televizijo;
• določa digitalno moduliran signal, s čimer omogoči združljivost med deli opreme
različnih proizvajalcev. To se doseže s podrobnim opisom obdelave signala na strani modulatorja, medtem ko je obdelava na strani sprejemnika mogoča z različnimi rešitvami.
Vendar je treba v okviru tega besedila nasloviti tudi določene vidike sprejemanja.
Različici 1.1.1 in 1.2.1 tega dokumenta [i.7] in [i.8] opredeljujeta en sam profil, ki vključuje časovno segmentacijo, ne pa tudi časovno-frekvenčne segmentacije (TFS). Značilnosti, ki bi omogočale morebitno prihodnjo uvedbo časovno-frekvenčne segmentacije (TFS) (za sprejemnike z dvema uglaševalnikoma/demodulatorjema), so navedene v dodatku E. Sprejemnik z enim samim uglaševalnikom naj ne bi bil namenjen podpori časovno-frekvenčne segmentacije (TFS).
Različica 1.3.1 tega dokumenta [i.9] dodatno vključuje profil T2-Lite. Ta profil omogoča preprostejše uvedbe sprejemnika za uporabe z zelo nizkimi zmogljivostmi, kot je mobilna radiodifuzija, čeprav ga lahko sprejemajo tudi običajni stacionarni sprejemniki. Podrobnosti tega profila T2-Lite so opisane v dodatku I. Različica 1.3.1 tega dokumenta [i.9] uvaja tudi naziv, tj. »profil T2-base«, in sicer za prejšnji posamezni profil.
Različica 1.4.1 (ta dokument) je uvedla številne spremembe, vendar so te spremembe le pojasnila določenih točk, spremembe v priporočilih, ki niso normativna, ter popravki besedila; nobene nove tehnične funkcije niso bile dodane in nobene obstoječe funkcije niso bile spremenjene.
