Digital terrestrial television broadcasting (DTTB, also known as Digital Terrestrial Television, DTT) is one of the most important ways to deliver digital TV signals over the air in the VHF/UHF band, and is now under massive deployment worldwide. Written by a team of experts, this book will serve as a comprehensive guide for engineering students and practicing professionals in this area
Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting covers the fundamentals on channel coding and modulation technologies with emphasis on those used in DTTB systems, from the general concept to the detailed analysis, receiver design and implementation. It introduces the Single Frequency Network (SFN) as well as the multiple-input-multiple-output concept for DTTB network planning and the measurement (including methodology and performance) of DTTB systems using Digital Terrestrial/Television Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) system as an example before introducing various mobile multimedia DTV systems based on DTTB networks. Important features of this book include:
