IEC 62360:2004

Baseline specifications of satellite and terrestrial receivers for ISDB (Integrated Service for Digital Broadcast)

specifies the basic functions, ratings, and performance of receivers for the Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB) system. It applies to: receivers for standard digital television broadcasting, high-definition television broadcasting, and radio broadcasting from satellite broadcasting stations in the frequency band of 11,7 GHz to 12,2 GHz (hereinafter referred to as "BS digital broadcasting"); receivers for standard digital television broadcasting with a bandwidth of 34,5 MHz from satellite broadcasting stations in the frequency band of 12,2 GHz to 12,75 GHz (hereinafter referred to as "broadband CS digital broadcasting"); and receivers for the standard digital television broadcasting and high-definition television broadcasting from terrestrial broadcasting stations (hereinafter referred to as "digital terrestrial television broadcasting").
