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 framing structure, channel coding and
modulation (denoted "the System" for the purposes of this ETS) for a digital multi-program television
distribution by Microwave Multipoint Distribution Systems (MMDS) operating below 10 GHz. The aim of
this ETS is to present a harmonized transmission standard for cable, satellite and MMDS, based on the
MPEG-2 System Layer ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1], with the addition of appropriate Forward Error Correction
(FEC) technique. This System follows the modulation/channel coding system for digital multi-program
television by cable (see ETS 300 429 in the bibliography) and is based on Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation (QAM) with 16, 32, and 64 constellation points.
-4 -10 -11
The System FEC is designed to improve Bit Error Ratio (BER) from 10 to a range, 10 to 10 ,
ensuring "Quasi Error Free" (QEF) operation with approximately one uncorrected error event per
transmission hour.
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed

edition of the publication referred to applies.

4 MMDS System concept
The MMDS System shall be defined as the functional block of equipment performing the adaptation of the
baseband TV signals to the MMDS channel characteristics (see figure 1). At the transmitter site, the
following TV baseband signal sources can be considered:
- satellite signal(s);
- cable signal(s);
- contribution link(s);
- local program source(s).
The processes in the following subclauses shall be applied as shown in figure 1.

4.1 Baseband interfacing and sync
This unit shall adapt the data structure to the format of the signal source. The framing structure shall be in
accordance with MPEG-2 transport layer including sync bytes.
NOTE: Interfaces are not part of this ETS.
4.2 Sync 1 inversion and randomization
This unit shall invert the Sync 1 byte according to the MPEG-2 framing structure, and randomizes the data
stream for spectrum shaping purposes.
4.3 Reed-Solomon encoder
This unit shall apply a shortened Reed-Solomon (RS) code to each randomized transport packet to
generate an error-protected packet. This code shall also be applied to the Sync byte itself.
4.4 Convolutional interleaver
This unit shall perform a depth I = 12 convolutional interleaving of the error-protected packets. The
periodicity of the sync bytes shall remain unchanged.
4.5 Byte to m-tuple conversion
This unit shall perform a conversion of the bytes generated by the interleaver into QAM symbols.
4.6 Differential encoding
In order to get a rotationally-invariant constellation, this unit shall apply a differential encoding to the two
Most Significant Bits (MSBs) of each symbol.
4.7 Baseband shaping
This unit performs mapping from differentially encoded m-tuples to I and Q signals and a square-root
raised cosine filtering of the I and Q signals prior to QAM modulation.
4.8 QAM modulation and physical interface
This unit performs QAM modulation. It is followed by interfacing the QAM modulated signal to the Radio
Frequency (RF) MMDS channel.
4.9 MMDS receiver
A System receiver shall perform the inverse signal processing, as described for the modulation process
above, in order to recover the baseband signal.
5 MPEG-2 transport layer
The MPEG-2 Transport Layer is defined in ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1]. The Transport Layer for MPEG-2 data is
comprised of packets having 188 bytes, with one byte for synchronization purposes, three bytes of header
containing service identification, scrambling and control information, followed by 184 bytes of MPEG-2 or
auxiliary data.
6 Framing structure
The framing organization shall be based on the MPEG-2 transport packet structure. The System framing
structure is shown in figure 2.
